Assuming this comes out before the account system rework, they could have some sort of linking process where both accounts need to verify that they're linked via the RS website's account page. Similar to signing up for Twitch integration.

I really hope that's the case, feel like it would have alleviated some initial apprehension about the new account stuff, at least for me anyway, I'd make a new account if I can transfer the rewards to my main for sure :)

EDIT: Come to think of it, if they're letting you buy MTX on the account I feel like an transfer to the main game at the end is inevitable, as it wouldn't make sense to give MTX on accounts that would be reset/deleted at the end.

Congrats on the early find there! You won't be waiting long to hear about this in full - we'll be dropping our full announcement tomorrow (Monday) at 3pm Game Time.

I do want to stress that this isn't the full picture of what Fresh Start Worlds actually is. The leaked page is missing some important context on why some things are the way they are and what this is all about - which is coming in our official announcement.

For now, I just wanted to clarify a few things before then that might be helpful to any discussions until the official announce:

  • This is not RuneScape's attempt at Leagues or a Seasonal Game Mode. This is a something we made specifically to celebrate 300M Accounts.
  • Accounts in Fresh Start Worlds are full-fat RuneScape Accounts that follow you into the main game. Your account is not deleted or reset at the end of Fresh Start Worlds.

I know that must lead to even a million more questions, but I promise we'll open up on this tomorrow (there's a lot of moving parts to this announcement).

On top of the News Post, we'll be chatting about this at length to answer your questions and concerns in a Livestream during the week as there's a lot to discuss.

Speak to you all soon.

Just saying, it'd be really dumb if rewards from this event can't be transferred over to people's main accounts afterwards.

Restricting rewards to the event accounts (even post-event) would kill all incentive for people to participate.

You absolutely can transfer them onto your Main should you choose - that's one I'll confirm now just to avoid confusion with that bullet point.
