RS3 FSW - albeit P2P exclusive, at least offers a great deal of rewards later available in the base game.
OSRS FSW literally has NOTHING at all. From RS3 we've seen that the economy is completely whack... What's ever going to encourage a new/returning player to play a game version with no economy, over a gamemode that's literally the same except you can actually buy/sell stuff?
External link →We mentioned this in our FAQ when the first news of it dropped. It is literally the same game on fresh servers. This project is taking up minimal dev time (we mean minimal), and we aren't creating Leagues or anything close to that with FSW.
It's intended for new and returning players as a common jump-on point for the game. We know that this doesn't appeal much to our active player-base but there are some more exciting things in store for you, which we're hoping to reveal in a Summit-style format when we're ready to share more.
We considered the possibility of adding rewards to FSW but we decided not to do this - the team didn't want players to feel FOMO if you chose not to participate in it.
