If there is one thing RuneScape is famous for, it is how Jagex stretches quest lines over a long period of real time. For instance, did you know that the city of Menaphos, set to become accessible in 2017, was first inserted into the game world in 2005? Yea, twelve years. That is a hell of a teaser. More recently, the world of Gielinor (the world in RuneScape) has been focusing on the Sixth Age, a world that introduced new inventions, the death of a god, and an all out war between the surviving deities.
At the center of this war is Sliske, an entity that rose to (alleged) godhood after slaying Guthix and setting the other gods against one another. In next week’s update, Sliske’s story finally comes to a close, with the ending decided by the player’s choices in the past three years of the quest line. The quest also sets the stage for 2017’s content updates. The god wars began in October 2013 with the quest Missing Presumed Death and has seen multiple world events with players forced to choose a faction to contribute to the overall war effort.
Sliske’s Endgame marks the finale to the 15th anniversary year of RuneScape which introduced the NXT engine, a new continent, and other major content updates.
