Latest revision as of 11:25, 5 May 2018
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.
List of Postbags
Trivia
- It is possible that the name is a reference to the novel Postcards from the Edge.
- The postbags sometimes foreshadow future characters. Drorkar was mentioned by Kaqemeex in the 24th postbag, more than six months prior to the release of Perils of Ice Mountain. Dr Nabanik answered a letter in the 41st postbag addressed to Jhallan, and he referred to himself as a "learned archaeologist...with something of an interest in the Mahjarrat". This led to predictions that Nabanik was Azzanadra, which was revealed to be true with the release of The Temple at Senntisten four months later. Sliske was mentioned as far back as the 20th postbag in June 2007.
- Postbag 45 is Valentine-themed, and the update title refers to the love song "Total Eclipse of the Heart", by Bonnie Tyler.
