The Runescape Gathering has been an event that's been hosted every year for several years now. In the beginning it was a massive event hosted by Runescape videomakers, but after the original hosts left the game or went inactive, the promotion of the event has gone down a bit.
Last year we had a hard time hosting the event. Though thanks to videomaker Mental Wyro, the event got on it's legs anyways, despite some unfortunate bumps along the way.
This year, we intend to host it again, hopefully a lot larger than last year!
To refresh those who aren't familiar with the RS Gathering, it is pretty much just a massive gathering where everyone who wants to, can show up at the Ice Mountain north of Falador and talk, dance and meet 'famous' players and some jmods, who tend to show up.
So far I've tried poking around to get some help promoting the event. Regicidal, who was one of the hosts for the first ever event, agreed to look into putting an invite up on the Runescape channel, and possibly livestream the event. Though at the moment, I don't know how that's going with Paul M replacing him as Regicidal is on to new adventures in the Jagex team, so I've tried to book the date for streaming myself.
In the past the event has received pretty amazing support from Jagex. The 2011/12 version had an own article on the website promoting the event. There's been tons of facebook pictures on the Jagex site, and twitter spam every event. Pretty amazing!
But this time we don't expect the same, and need all the help we can get.
If you'd be up for helping out promoting the event, let me know! All it would take is to mention it in your streams or videos, or do a little tweet or three about it!
Please post if you'd be up for helping out hosting this year.
I think these gatherings aren't that special anymore because lately almost everybody is live streaming and engage way more with their viewers than ever before and making these gatherings kinda obsolete.
I should be able to go and I could stream it thought I wouldnt pull as many views as the official channel at the same time, Im sure I can get some people out there
