Trivia

• Although the weapons themselves existed in the cache on the 4th of January 2001, players would only be allowed to craft it somewhere mid 2001. The actual release date of the weapons would be on the 26th of July, when Runite ore was added to the champions guild. A few months later, Bluerrose13x was the first player to be able to craft the Rune 2h's and battleaxes. On the 27th of February 2002, members was added, but the month before that on the 29th of January 2002 it was announced that the Rune 2h sword and the Rune battleaxe would be kept free-to-play.
