If you have any footage 📽️ from the Priot in OldSchool RuneScape - the protest against Jagex' CEO Mod North, Jon Bellamy, for cancelling this year's Pride 🌈 event - please let Sage know.
Pride belongs in Gielinor 🌈.

I've decided I'm not really too interested in streaming nor do I really have the time for it at this point, but I do have a really good video idea that I wanna make and as far as I know no other #osrs #runescape creator has specifically covered this topic. That said, anyone have videos from priot?

Jagex's Mod North refused to release the 2025 Pride 🌈 event into OSRS.
We, however, are not defeated.

I'm working on an idea for the OSRS Zine Project @osrszine.bsky.social and I'm looking to ask a few members of the LGBTQ+ community to tell me their stories.
If you've got something, big or small let me know! I've done a fair bit of journalism IRL, so why not bring it to the streets of OSRS?

Unsurprising, but truly disappointing.
No Pride 🌈 event in today's OSRS update, the last of the month, despite the longest in-game protest OSRS has ever seen.
Like a self-fulfilling prophecy Mod North made Pride 🌈 in OSRS "controversial in a way it didn’t used to be".
We won't forget.
