Just weeks later, The Old Nite had passed away battling against cancer. A small gathering was held in RuneScape to mourn his passing. His account was locked at the request of his son and wife shortly after his death and it remains locked to this day. However, his account still exists. This is evidenced by the fact that you are still able to add The Old Nite to your friends list. Although his sister had confirmed his death, some people still believe that he is alive due to there being activity on his account after being locked.
