Are Is the two one remaining polled Poll 76 changes (smoke dungeon visual effect toggle and login chat warnings when items are in death storage) coming soon? When can we expect a blog or feedback-gathering for Poll 77?

thanks for the correction

Both of these changes should be out I have just checked with the team. The only remaining item from Poll 76 is Poison Dynamite, which has had a beta and it's in the final stages of tweaking.

The Poll 77 blog is being written at the moment. I don't have an ETA on it but we'll get it out to you as soon as we can. In general, our Poll Blogs have been relatively slow for players, so we've been making some changes internally to how we work. We'd like to have shorter times between Poll Blogs and more explanation should be in the Poll 77 blog about how we plan to do that. Hope this helps!

Discussing this with the devs now to investigate bear with

Yep this is an issue, sorry. The devs got sent data which did not take into account any person(s) removed after our Anti-Cheating team did their checks.

Unfortunately, we cannot hotfix this but it will be updated next week.

Sorry for the error, appreciate you raising this to us

Thank you for doing this update, I know a lot of people keep saying no body wants this, but my wife is excited to give RuneScape a try on a fresh world so she doesn't feel so behind.

I'm very excited to play with her while she experiences RuneScape on a fresh world.

Orrr is it a mistake in the post... Guessing so because otherwise why invent the whole bond voucher code system

It means there's gonna be FSW Worlds that are F2P and P2P

It didn't, it's completely separate. We're just not having a Leagues this year (we had one earlier on in the year, but that was a delayed League from the year before, so it doesn't count as this years' League).

FSW will give you the opportunity to start with lots of other players on a new economy, you'll probably meet a lot more people especially in early game areas

There are no changes to XP rates or drop rates in OSRS's Fresh Start Worlds. Still hoping you might try it though :D

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.

Wait what? That's pretty big, and this is the first I've seen this mentioned. Are FSWs going to have free membership, or are there going to be f2p FSWs?

Everyone is welcome, we'll have both F2P and members Fresh Start Worlds

In the dev blog, it says that the FSW are not considered a replacement for Leagues—but on a previous Q&A, I recall it being mentioned that they will replace a Leagues event this year.

Can we get some clarification on whether or not there will be any Leagues event this winter as usual? thanks :)

There won't be a Leagues this Winter, I'm sorry to disappoint. We have started to transcribe streams to keep a record and increase the accessibility of information shared with you. I'll just point you to the answer to Question #5 in this blog which may help = https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/leadership-qa-summary-18082022?oldschool=1

scrap FSW please, nobody asked for it, the AP system is kinda cool tho, this is something I'd like to see implemented in the main game. It flopped in RS3, it will flop in OSRS as well

I appreciate your feedback and respect your stance on it. I am really glad to hear you like the AP system, though!

Hey, we've seen the feedback on it. The TLDR is this was considered, we don't think it needs changing. I am happy to keep bringing up your feedback to the devs on it though as I want to make sure you feel heard!

What steps are being taken to ensure FSWs are not abused by bots/goldfarmers with the reduced competition from regular worlds?

The anti-cheating team will be monitoring FSW closely as they do on the main game, and we'll be paying extra attention to areas which are most targeted in this way. We're also going to be stricter with gold farmer-type profiles.

I've heard RS3 had some major issues with the rollout. Will those be accounted for in this one, so we don't face a similar rollback?

This was definitely discussed internally amongst the two teams. We will be learning from RS3's experiences. We don't expect those issues to affect us and we will remain in contact with their teams to take learnings into consideration.

Should we expect a September Gielinor Gazette? If so, any idea when?

There isn't going to be a Gazette for September, unfortunately. I don't write the Gazettes, but the reason why there wasn't a Gazette was because of the feedback we saw on the last Gazette. Players told us it's just rehashing information they are already aware of - they didn't want to read a blog recapping information and said it'd be better for us to just wait until we had more information to share.

We aren't ready to share our plans re: roadmap fully yet - we're working towards a larger Summit-style format to do that. We want that to be the big announcement, something will get a lot of reach and hopefully a lot more excitement.
