RuneScape maker Jagex Games Studio passed along word this morning that it plans to host a 24-hour marathon in support of the games charity SpecialEffect’s inaugural GameBlast weekend. The challenge will take place at Jagex’s Cambridge, England headquarters.

Jagex staff and selected members of the RuneScape community will play RuneScape and Ace of Spades throughout the 24-hour period. The event will also serve as live-streamed throughout via the official RuneScape and Ace of Spades twitch.tv channels, which will also include interviews with the RuneScape development team.

During that same time period, Jagex will be running in-game events within RuneScape. Following a recent player vote, there will be Double XP for players during the GameBlast weekend. The Well of Goodwill, which saw players raise tens of thousands of dollars for a number of charities at the end of 2013, will also re-open for a short time. Players will be capable of purchase a virtual GameBlast tunic for their avatars, with all proceeds donated to SpecialEffect. During the GameBlast weekend, 50 percent of all profits from sales of Ace of Spades will be donated to SpecialEffect as well.
