It's about creating that moment in time for new players (or returning players on the fence) to jump in to, similar to what expansions do for other MMOs like WoW.

Also, it should benefit new players to have those early- and mid-game areas more densely populated with like-minded players at similar points of progression, where many of those areas are pretty sparsely populated in the main game.

Totally understand the point around impactful content updates, so far this year we've put out Nex, Guardians of the Rift, Giants' Foundry and (in 9 days) Tombs of Amascut, with more to come before the year's done! Fresh Start Worlds should be really minimal from a dev time perspective and won't get in the way of us delivering other impactful content.

We also understand players want to know what comes after Raids 3, and that's why we're currently planning our next Summit to share just what lies ahead for Old School.

In terms of the potential impact to the economy, this is something I hope we can address properly with our full announcement in the near future.

As far as I know the design gives players the option to choose between 'main game' and 'fresh start worlds' upon finishing Tutorial Island, and should outline what that decision means!

It's written in the FAQ but just to reiterate: these worlds are intended to be a 'jumping-on 'point for new players, or players who haven't played in a long time. The way that the account migration works means only new accounts can access these worlds.

While other MMOs have expansion models that serve as a 'jumping-on' point, OSRS doesn't have that same 'moment' for people to be a part of. This is aimed entirely at potential new players or returning players who are on the fence to see if we can't get them to give OSRS a go!

Have raised all of the above, but appreciate you sharing!

It's an option we have, for sure!

Hijacking this to say there's been an addition at the top of the post. Delay has been reduced from 1.8s (3 ticks) to 1.2s (2 ticks), and we're able to adjust further.

Personally would be in favour of something like this, since you still have to learn where you put your stuff and just customise experience for more comfort. I know it's a little more controversial than 'customisation good' but would personally like to see it talked about.

Every now and then after Redemption procs, the prayer drain would continue for a tick (or two?). You might have noticed it if you've done any Vespula using the Redemption method and Prayer Enhance potions, where every now and then you'll click onto portal and find your Redemption won't activate.

The NPC PJ Timer issues were unintended behaviours following the addition of the PJ timer, they were meant to be fixed within the weeks following the change but haven't been deployed until now.

This is something I'm keen to explore as an accessibility improvement, especially since it's still technically slower than making use of F-keys, would be big for mobile players too.

Will continue to raise this and explore feedback, hopefully expect to see it in a post sometime soon!

We'll be keeping a super close eye on this and if it does disproportionately impact players who aren't cheating we'll 100% look to change, we want to make life harder for cheaters and not to screw over people playing without any prohibited software.

Feels like we just have different definitions of diversity for content. I love WoW & I love running dungeons, but I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't very 'same-y'. when compared to a whole bunch of skills to jump between, quests with unique flavours etc.

It feels like the avenues for progression are a lot more varied than either 'run this PvE instance in a group' or questing by way of 'kill this dude a whole bunch of times and then come back to me!'

For me personally it's got the biggest breadth of content out of any of my mainstays (FF14, Lost Ark, WoW) since there are so many avenues to progress. Progression in WoW is still primarily 'just do PvE' and if you don't like dungeons/raids you're not going to make meaningful progress anywhere. In OSRS you're still able to progress horizontally and experience so much because of the number of skills, training methods available, and content even within PvM at a whole bunch of intensities.

More than happy to be disagreed with, but I don't think it's a ridiculous claim at all!

Genuinely believe with my whole heart that OSRS is the best RS has ever been for most players. Diversity of content is unmatched by any other MMO - there's something for every mood and intensity level. Whether you're looking to keep it simple and take it slow or push the game to its limits like players have been doing for nearly a decade since OSRS's release - the floor is low and the ceiling is near-infinite.

Also the resources available are better than ever. There's not a single question you're likely to have that isn't answered somewhere on the wiki, there are loads of really well-made video guides for virtually every piece of content, communities in the form of social clans or Twitch chats are - for the most part - super welcoming and accommodating.

Jump back in and see how you find it! All the stuff that made the game great is still there, just a case of seeing whether it still appeals to you as a person after such a long time!

Seers Yews while blasting anything from the Meteora album was such cozy social skilling back in the day. Hoping when we start talking more about skilling we're able to re-capture some of that social vibe.

Mod Squid's 'Way of the Forester' Game Jam pitch did a fantastic job with this, and I saw Ayiza mentioning in Twitch chat on Thursday that it'd be nice for Shooting Stars to not punish people for sharing location and doing them together.

As much as I love GOTR and Giants' Foundry, would be nice to spend some time chipping away at some more low intensity methods where you're either benefiting or at least not being punished for being in a group. Even though GOTR/GF are fun to do with a whole bunch of people, can be hard to keep typing when it all gets going and you're either jumping in and out of altars or paying super close attention to the HUD.

Will let the Varrock yew know that you're grateful for it, hopefully before too long yew'll have some...

Sounds like a sticky one, will bring this up next week as a player suggestion. Perhaps better sign-posting that you'll be teleported to a safe area within the Abyss for starters, and an option to teleport back if you've not progressed past the Dark Mage. (Maybe needs a check that you don't have any essence on you just in case it has goofy knock-ons for RC)

I think the place we were trying to come from - which maybe got a little lost in the format - was that if there's a genuine widespread desire for a decent use, it wouldn't feel right to just do a 'box ticking' exercise and just put something out for the sake of putting something out.

Perhaps it could be a bandaid/stop-gap and then we could find another more substantial use down the line, but then we run into the problem of people using a somewhat limited resource and being punished for using it on the bandaid since they have to re-obtain for a better fix.

We did chat a little about this after the stream though, appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
