Jagex has announced that the fresh start worlds coming to RuneScape and Old School RuneScape are delayed slightly. Originally slated to launch at the beginning of September for RS, the delay is to implement community suggestions for improvement. Updates are expected to be deployed soon. The RS Fresh Start World will now launch on September 26th. The OSRS Fresh Start World will launch in October.
Addressing concerns from existing players regarding the speed at which new players would accrue skills and experience, the week-to-week XP multiplier and peak XP multipliers, as well as other boosts offered in Fresh Start Worlds, have been rebalanced. Additionally, exclusive rewards from Fresh Start Worlds will be made available through other means in the future.
Fresh Start Worlds allow players to create brand new characters, which can, of course, be done on any of the MMORPG’s other worlds. However, the difference is in the fact that everyone begins with a new character. This means that the playing field is level for all players. In addition, the economy starts from ground zero allowing everyone a chance to become an MMO tycoon.
The RS FSW will run for four months. Players will be able to rediscover the game world along the questline that they may have completed over a decade ago (or more!). They’ll return to landmark cities, play through memorable questlines, discover skilling areas, and revisit boss battles from days gone by.
