Old School RuneScape’s latest League is out now, pushing thousands of players to cry at kids and get haircuts for the devil
Old School RuneScape has launched Demonic Pacts, its sixth limited-time league event, attracting over 150,000 players within hours of release. The event runs until June 10 and introduces a new gameplay experience centered around demonic themes and modified mechanics.
The league significantly alters traditional RuneScape progression by restricting access to the starting zones of Lumbridge and Draynor, forcing players instead to begin in the relatively newer area of Varlamore. This geographical shift fundamentally changes how players approach early-game progression and resource gathering strategies.
A major feature involves a “massive list of tasks” tied to powerful new pacts that dramatically alter typical RuneScape gameplay loops. These pacts are designed to provide variety and unique challenges throughout the limited event period. The league also includes quality-of-life improvements such as boosted experience rates and infinite run energy, accelerating character progression and removing traditional movement stamina constraints.
League events in Old School RuneScape are time-limited servers with modified rules that appeal to both new and veteran players seeking fresh experiences. They typically emphasize rapid progression, unique challenges, and competitive ranking systems that reward player engagement and skill.
