Postbag from the Hedge was a collection of letters to, and responses from, RuneScape non-player characters, including some who may not exist in the playable game. They are often replied to in a humorous fashion, although some replies (especially those from the Chaos Elemental) hint at future updates. The letters are delivered by Postie Pete. Postbag from the Hedge replaced the old letters from the gods of RuneScape, as the gods have "neither the time nor the inclination to speak with mere mortals".
Starting with postbag 11, some issues included a section known as Wise old tips, where the Wise Old Man provided insight to the readers. Other issues included sections from various other personalities such as the Chaos Elemental, Evil Dave, or Auntie Poyson.
On 12 August 2016, all mentions of Postbag from the Hedge were completely removed from the site. Any previous links to them redirects to the Customer Support section. However, another postbag was announced in December, but it was cancelled.
