Jagex introduces temporary servers with accelerated progression, giving new players chance to compete on equal footing.
Jagex has announced Fresh Start Worlds for RuneScape, temporary servers designed to give new and returning players a fresh competitive experience. These worlds feature accelerated experience rates and unique rewards for achieving milestones. The economy starts from scratch, allowing players to establish themselves without competing against decades of accumulated wealth. Exclusive cosmetics and titles reward players who reach certain achievements during the limited-time event. The worlds will eventually merge with the main game, allowing players to keep their progress. This initiative aims to address the intimidating nature of starting in a decades-old MMO. The community response has been mixed but generally positive, with many excited for the fresh start opportunity.
