Type the RuneScape name you remember them by. We'll check it for signs of life — and show you if someone's already looking for that name too.
No real names. No socials to dig up. Just the name you both used to answer to.
The memory does the work, not a form.
Type the RSN you remember. We check public Old School RuneScape data for recent activity, and search the board for anyone looking for that name.
No match yet? Post one moment you remember — the world, the clan, a shared run. It becomes findable to the person you're looking for.
If they (or someone who knows them) find your note, they reply through a private code only you hold. Contacts are never made public.
Every post is a real memory from a real person. Recognize a name?
Loading the board…
The board shows only a remembered name and a memory — never anyone's contact details. When you leave a note, you get a private lookup code. Replies reach you through that code alone. No public profiles, no exposed contacts, nothing sold on.
The honest answers, before you start.
Start with the one thing you still remember: their RuneScape name (RSN). Type it into rsmates to check for signs of life on Wise Old Man, and to see if anyone is already looking for that name. If they're not on the board yet, leave a note describing when and where you played together — if the person you're looking for (or someone who knows them) searches that name, they'll find your note and can reply privately.
Yes — the RSN is the whole starting point. You don't need their real name or any social media. rsmates checks the name against public Old School RuneScape data (via Wise Old Man) for recent activity, and searches the board for anyone looking for that same name. Names change and accounts go quiet, so a note left on the board is often the surest way to reconnect.
Two main reasons. First, name changes: Old School RuneScape lets players change their display name, so the RSN you remember may now belong to someone else or be unused. Second, breaks: people quit for years, and an account with no recent XP simply stops showing up. That's why "no signs of life" never means someone is gone — it usually just means the name moved or the account is resting.
Your contact is never shown publicly. When you leave a note, only your memory and the RSN you're looking for appear on the board — not your contact. If someone replies, their reply reaches you privately through a lookup code shown to you when you post. Nobody's contact details are ever listed or sold.
No. Checking a name, leaving a note, and replying to one are all free, with no account required. rsmates just launched, so the board grows as players post — the more people who leave notes, the more reconnections happen.
Signs-of-life checks read public Old School RuneScape data. Credit where it's due.
The open-source OSRS player-tracking project. rsmates uses its public API to check whether a name shows recent activity — our "signs of life" read.
