Ten years of verified sellers. Ten years of buyer protection. Ten years of real support from real people who understand this game. In an industry where platforms come and go overnight, RuneHeaven has been here — reliably, consistently — since Old School RuneScape was three years old.
Every milestone in RuneHeaven's history represents real players served, real problems solved, and real trust earned — one transaction at a time.
Founded by a small team of OSRS veterans who had collectively lost gold to scammers and decided to build the platform they always needed. First 50 transactions completed in month one — all gold, all safe, all reviewed.
From day one, every seller is personally reviewed by the founding team before listing. No anonymous accounts, no exceptions — a standard that remains unchanged ten years later.
We formalise our Buyer Protection policy in writing and publish it publicly — a first in the OSRS trading space. Players deserve to know exactly what they are protected against before they spend a penny.
Word of mouth drives consistent growth. Players recommend RuneHeaven in OSRS forums, subreddits, and Discord servers after positive experiences. We never paid for a single referral.
Our first formal dispute — a delayed delivery during a seller's internet outage — is resolved within 48 hours with the buyer receiving full delivery. We document the case and use it to shape our formal dispute process.
We publish our first public scam alert, warning the OSRS community about a new middleman impersonation scam circulating on Discord. Free, publicly available, and widely shared — community protection beyond our own platform.
We overhaul our review system to accept only reviews from buyers who have completed a real transaction. This eliminates fake reviews entirely and becomes the trust cornerstone of our platform.
RuneHeaven users now span more than 30 countries. We add multi-currency payment support and expand customer service hours to cover more time zones. OSRS is global — our service becomes global too.
One thousand completed, reviewed, documented transactions on RuneHeaven. Zero unsettled disputes. The milestone is more than a number — it is proof that our founding approach works at scale.
RuneHeaven is recognised by multiple OSRS community organisations as the most trusted OSRS marketplace. Not an award we applied for — a reputation the community conferred through consistent, publicly visible voting threads.
We formalise and publicly announce a dedicated Buyer Protection Fund — a ring-fenced reserve that ensures buyer refunds can always be honoured regardless of individual seller circumstances.
OSRS Mobile brings a massive wave of new players. RuneHeaven expands its beginner guides, adds mobile-optimised seller listings, and becomes the go-to first platform for thousands of new mobile OSRS players entering the trading economy.
We launch a comprehensive library of free OSRS guides — money making, Slayer, quests, gear progression, and more. Open to all players, whether they trade with us or not. Knowledge as community service.
RuneHeaven users now span more than 50 countries across every continent. Our team expands support coverage to ensure no buyer waits more than a few hours for assistance regardless of time zone.
Our seller verification process — developed organically since 2015 — is formally documented as a 4-stage system (Identity, History, Probationary Period, Ongoing Monitoring) and published publicly.
Ten years since our founding. 5,000+ completed transactions. Zero open disputes. 4.9/5 community rating. 50+ countries served. One thousand two hundred plus verified buyer reviews. Ten years of waking up and choosing to earn the community's trust rather than take it for granted.
We continue expanding our service categories, improving verification, and rolling out new buyer-facing tools including real-time price comparison and seller response-time tracking. The next decade begins exactly as the first one did — by earning it.
Every player who trusted RuneHeaven in 2015 shaped what it became by 2026. Every player who trusts us today is shaping what it will be in 2035. That responsibility has never left our minds and it never will.
These achievements were not purchased, applied for, or manufactured. They were earned through consistent performance, verified by our community, and documented publicly.

Five thousand players who chose RuneHeaven and received exactly what they paid for.
Every dispute submitted across an entire decade of operation has been resolved. Not one left open.
From 1,200+ reviews left exclusively by verified buyers after real transactions. Impossible to fake.
OSRS players from over 50 nations trust RuneHeaven as their marketplace of choice.
Every seller in ten years of operation has been personally verified before listing. No exceptions, ever.
Trust earns its most powerful proof through time. These are voices from across RuneHeaven's decade — players who found us early, players who found us recently, and everything in between.
"Found RuneHeaven in 2016 when it was still new. The fact that they actually verified sellers before listing was unlike anything else available. Been using it ever since."
"I came back to OSRS after a year break in 2017, found RuneHeaven, and have been using it every time I need gold since. Ten purchases over eight years, every single one perfect."
"By 2019 I'd tried four different OSRS platforms. RuneHeaven was the only one where the seller reviews actually matched the experience. No platform manipulation. Just real feedback."
"Started playing OSRS on mobile in 2020 and found RuneHeaven immediately. The free guides helped me understand what things were worth before I spent anything. That is rare."
"A platform that has been around since 2015 with a 4.9 rating and zero unresolved disputes. That kind of track record is impossible to fake. I trusted it immediately."
"Just started OSRS in 2026. My friend told me RuneHeaven had been around since 2015 with no major scandals. Ten years of that speaks louder than any review."
"I became a verified seller on RuneHeaven in 2024. The platform's 9-year reputation at that point meant buyers trusted me faster than on any other platform. Legacy trust transfers."
In the OSRS trading space, most platforms last months. A decade means something entirely different.
OSRS has changed dramatically since 2015 — new raids, new game-breaking drops, price swings of thousands of percent, Jagex's relationship with third-party trading evolving, OSRS Mobile arriving. RuneHeaven has navigated every shift, adapted every time, and emerged more established after each one. Platforms built on exploitation collapse when the market changes. Platforms built on trust grow stronger.
Every claim we make about RuneHeaven's history — our founding year, our dispute resolution record, our seller verification rate — is publicly verifiable. We invite scrutiny. We publish our policies in full. Our reviews are openly searchable. A platform that has been operating honestly for ten years has nothing to hide and no reason to obscure its history.
Features that were built in 2015 have been stress-tested against thousands of real transactions. Our dispute process was forged through real cases, not hypothetical planning. Our seller verification has been refined by real attempts to circumvent it. Ten years of real-world testing produces a platform that works in ways that brand-new competitors simply cannot replicate.
Some of RuneHeaven's buyers and sellers have been with us for seven, eight, nine years. These are not one-time customers — they are community members who have staked their OSRS experience on trusting us, and found that trust well placed, year after year. Long-term loyalty from an informed, experienced OSRS community is the most powerful endorsement any platform can have.
RuneHeaven has been operating continuously since 2015. Our founding date is documented across our platform, community records, and third-party archives.
Our rating is calculated from 1,200+ reviews left only by verified buyers who completed real transactions. Every review is accessible on our platform.
Every seller listing on RuneHeaven belongs to a verified seller. Our verification process is publicly documented and applied without exceptions.
Every dispute submitted across ten years has been resolved. This is an operational record maintained by our team and verifiable through our dispute logs.
Full SSL encryption is active across our site (verifiable via browser padlock). Payment processing is PCI-compliant (documentable from our payment providers).
Our user base spans more than 50 countries — verifiable through our platform analytics and the country diversity visible in public buyer reviews.
Ten years of verified sellers. Ten years of buyer protection. Ten years of real people supporting a real community. Whatever brings you to RuneHeaven — you are joining a marketplace that has been earning its reputation since before most OSRS players started playing.
