I've been looking these past few weeks for Tip It posts around May and June 06, on former player and legend The Old Nite, to confirm the details surrounding his departure from the game. Several posts from the time referred to an official news post from Jagex announcing his death, but none gave links. For those fellow information hunters seeking to know the facts, please be advised that there was no official news post. See the official forums (quick find code: 14-15-978-66280331) for this. It remains a rumour.

 

 

This video covers the most of it.
