If this is in reference to the Entry Mode fix, this was actually deployed within under 2 hours of the raid's release, but communicated with these as a batch.

This is solvable.

Think that will be something we for sure include in a later blog, but my understanding is that we'd like the singles bosses to count for CAs and any killcount tasks associated.

We totally appreciate that some people aren't going to want to risk deep multi just to tick off a couple of tasks and want the rework to address their concerns while making the new bosses feel 'opt-in' for people chasing some solid gp/hr, not like a chore for people trying to get diaries/CAs done.

They do! Tried to convey it it the blog that we'd like to keep the rough time-to-complete for the current uniques about the same from the singles variants.

Wanted to make sure that despite the rework, people weren't being forced into multi to fill out log slots that exist currently where Callisto/Venenatis killers are used to safespotting in singles.

Looks like it was fixed within minutes of me writing this, hopefully you're able to carry on playing as normal!

Hey! We're aware of this and are looking into it. We'll be updating the Status page (accessible via the OSRS homepage) while we investigate, and I'll aim to reply here when we think the issue is resolved.

Appreciate you raising this!

We spoke about it and should be able to make some changes to fix it, but they're not simple changes because of the number of restrictions that have to be put in place. So it is coming but I have no idea exactly when. :(

No enhanced XP rates, no enhanced item drop rates, no rewards or uniques. They'll migrate straight over to the same experience they've been playing, just with the active playerbase beyond just the Fresh Start World players.

Perhaps there will be a lower number of experienced players on-hand to help out, but there'll be a whole lot of players at similar points of progression all making discoveries together and sharing.

On top of that, there's no doubt in my mind that communities on platforms like YouTube, Twitch and even here on Reddit would be instrumental in helping and supporting the potential influx of new players! When all is said and done, the OSRS community is beyond supportive of players discovering Gielinor for the first time, just like most of us did years ago!

Plus, choosing the 'real' game is still an option for anybody starting out! The choice is entirely up to the player, all we do is provide the information and the means to start fresh if they'd like.

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.
