If you need some lore to explain why we all have free exp coming from apparently nowhere this summer, how about this:
*(Spoiler Alert, people)*
Year 169 of the Fifth age of Gielnor. Following the Ritual of Rejuvination, the Stone of Jas is teleported to an unknown location to keep it safe.
Meanwhile
Year 2012 of the Second age of Earth. Some disgruntled Jagex employees arrive at work in the morning, only to find a massive stone has appeared in one of their meeting rooms. They promptly put a vacuum to the thing and drain it of all of its power, before packaging it in lamps and using it to promote Runescape membership.
