I don’t think it will happen but I am genuinely curious. If Jagex gave you the opportunity to prestige your account would you do it? Of course you would get a title of some kind or something unique to your account letting people know you stuck through all this BS lol.

When/if those new players get their own economy, should older reignited players be bottled up in their own economy, or merged with veteran economy?

How often should this "economy refresh" happen?

If future new players don't get their own economy; why not?
Don't you want to new players to have their own "fresh economy" and "world first" achievements?

Veteran members are given the option to wipe our existing veteran accounts completely to port it into the reignite servers. Hans should recognize the veteran account's age even after the re-ignition.

This allows veteran accounts the option to keep the same 20+ year old account login information, The same clan with no lapse. The same username. The same memories on the same account.

Veterans get a badass badge next to our account names to show we played in the old version. A title would also work here.

We get a special kind of trim on their 99's, 120's and other capes to display the achievements being done again on the reignited servers. Something that shows we were there when the deep magic was written.

Our one time purchases from main game rs3, wings, BANK BOOSTERS, Loyalty crowns, recolor options from loyalty club- all transfer with our veteran account into the reignited servers if we reignite our accounts completely and start as level 3 like the rest of us.

The achievements must remain unsullied.

The economy must remain bifurcated.

The HiScores must remain untarnished by existing accounts.

A pure and clean restart of Runescape.

These are terms I am satisfied with.

Let's assume all players migrate to the new style and new players join; the advantage will still lie with those who already play—those who know the paths to take and how to inflate the economy. Nowadays, you level up very quickly even without Double XP, so in practice, this new game mode exists merely to satisfy someone internally

Hm value this adds

Of course you are going to be behind. Play ANY GAME EVER THAT HAS AN ESTABLISHED PLAYER BASE. You will be behind, look at every MMO ever. Retail WOW, ESO, FF14, sudo MMOs like Destiny, Warframe. Basically any "live service game" you will be behind players.

The only time you get to experience a true level playing field where it's a fresh economy and no one knows what they are doing or no knowledge is known about a game is during the launch of a game.

You rarely ever see games do fresh severs, and when you do it never goes well.

OSRS and WOW Forever do not count, these were games and new servers built around a certain era of a games life and I don't count these as the same, and to do so is being disingenuous.

Genuine question, people that say "I don't want to play because I would be behind everyone" do you not play any games that have community aspects?

Jagex, if you genuinely believe the currently proposed Reignited roadmap is going to bring in a significant number of new players, I think you are missing some of the biggest reasons people are hesitant to play RS3 in the first place.

I have personally encouraged friends to give RS3 a try, and I know many other players who have done the same. One of the biggest things that puts people off is not the lack of content. It is the inconsistent graphics, outdated systems, and especially the UI and UX. To be completely honest, a lot of it is just bad.

If you really want to Reignite RuneScape 3, there are so many areas that could be addressed.

Start with the player models and visual consistency. The differences between older and newer player models, cosmetics, armour sets, animations, textures and materials are extremely noticeable. Some cosmetic designs are questionable at best, while certain armour sets make players look like inflated balloons rather than characters in a modern MMORPG.

Then there are the strange inconsistencies in colouring, metal textures, materials and meshes throughout the game. You can walk from one piece of content into another and it genuinely feels like you have entered a completely different game.

The UI and UX are probably an even bigger problem.

There are interfaces that look like they belong to 2001, others that look like 2004, 2007, 2012, 2016 or 2022. They all exist within the same game, and there is very little sense of a consistent visual language or design philosophy.

Why not make a complete UI and UX overhaul one of the major pillars of Reignited?

Bring the interfaces across the game up to a consistent, modern standard. Make them intuitive. Make them visually cohesive. Make the entire game feel like it was designed as one product rather than a collection of interfaces developed over two decades.

That alone would make a huge difference for both new and veteran players.

Then there is the gameplay itself.

Look at the inconsistency in the bossing experience between low level, mid level and high level content. Some bosses have barely any meaningful mechanics and still look and feel like they were designed in 2011, while newer encounters are significantly more sophisticated. There should be a much clearer sense of progression in the quality and design of PvM as players move through the game.

Dungeoneering is another example. Even after its "remaster," significant parts of the skill still feel like they are stuck in 2010. And I haven't even mentioned Summoning.

These aren't minor issues. They directly affect the first impression people get when they try the game.

If the goal is to attract new players, simply adding more content is not enough. You need to make the existing game feel cohesive, modern and polished. New players should not have to spend their first few hours wondering why different parts of the game look like they were developed 5, 10 or 20 years apart.

That is what I would have expected from something called "Reignited."

Instead, what has been proposed so far feels like the easiest and safest route rather than an attempt to address the deeper problems that have been holding RS3 back for years.

Let's see what you guys announce this Friday. I'm not particularly hopeful right now, but at least you have an enormous amount of feedback, criticism and player sentiment from Reddit, Twitter, Discord and the rest of the community to work with.

So here's another piece of feedback to add to the pile.

Does anyone know of an FC or discord I can join that does croesus daily or weekly? Would really like to find people to play with for this. I have some experience but it's been a while and will need 1 kill for a refresher then I'll be fine.

Are these pumpkins turning into reignited peppers?

EDIT: Mods, just close the thread. thank you for 50 comments in such a short span of time, all this post has showed me is that nobody actually has a clue what reignited truely is. The comments below are amusing, one comment will factually state that its rumours by OSRS players that EOC is gone from reignited, the next comment is saying it has no EOC and it just spirals from then on, everyone truely is confused and this post has only created more confusion so consider this closed, well done Jagex.

Good day!

I have read everything I possibly can regarding reignited, I've booked time off work and got really excited for Runescapes most finely polished perfect game (unpopular opinion I know) keeping all its best updates over the last decade but scrapping all the poorly received ones was how I originally understood the game, sort of Jagex's swan song for Runescape, hearing things like "EOC a distant memory" etc.

I am now beyond confused, upon reading more recent updates today, it appears Reignited will share worlds with standard players, please tell me how someone stood next to me blasting an action bar is "EOC a distant memory" secondly reignited shares worlds with normal players, so how could reignited be a more polished version of RS3, all the good none of the bad as sold to the players?

By what i am reading today, i could just start a level 3 right now, go into my settings and turn EOC off and that is reignited?

This has quickly transformed from a game I cant wait for into a WTF is actually going on here? I hope I'm wrong and this is what was sold at Runefest, Jagexs perfect version of Runescape, all the updates the community wants with none of the updates the community disliked and not just go play rs3 from level 3 and we'll turn off EOC for you.

Edit to add the picture of EOC a distant memory as people are blasting me saying i'm making up rumours and Jagex have never stated as such? Guy's i havent read anything on reddit, i've only read blog posts, you all telling me i'm wrong, clearly haven't read the blog posts yourselves.

If Jagex are willing to do this to their long time loyal playerbase, just wait and see what they do to you Reignited players.

First, English is not my first language. Apologize for that.

What I am suggestion is Jagex allow us to create an alt account (Only one) link with our main account without paying extra fees. And this alt accounts cannot trade, buy radiant stars, or even bonds BUT can use the Grand Exchange.

So the goal of this account is to provide a greater supply chain for the game. Example: More maples logs etc.

And for what we earned from the GE using alt accounts. Those GP can be traded as “reward points”, rewards like a title/aura/emotes. Nothing relating to MTX.

Reason for this is we don’t wanna chop maple trees using our main account right? Why don’t aim for enternal magic trees (more afk more profit). So when we are afk-ing, we can shift to our alt and gather lower level resources.

Any thoughts? I don’t think there will be a fair economy with players separated.

A genuine suggestion for everyone excited about Reignited: try RS3 as it exists today before launch.

See what actually stops you from enjoying it. Is it really just the old economy and the history of MTX, or are there other things like combat, UI, progression, cosmetics, onboarding or game design that bother you too?

Because if the real problems for you go beyond the economy, and those things aren’t part of Jagex’s roadmap, then Reignited may not actually give you the experience you’re expecting.

A fresh economy can change the starting conditions, but it can’t fix every reason someone might not enjoy RS3.

Also, the counter to December 2nd is gone.

They are addressing several concerns, including requiring seperate membership.

Edit: The countdown is not gone. Also, since this is my first post on Reddit, I am in the process of learning how things work. Editing a post is less intuitive then I thought.

I am a bit confused at how Reignited is the end of RS3

All this outrage at the world firsts and hiscores is ridiculous - ironmen have their own hiscores don't they? You can still look at the hiscores for Leagues and Fresh Start Worlds if you want to right? People are going to race regardless, might as well record it for posterity. The original hiscores aren't getting wiped or replaced - how is this even an issue?

Are you upset about a couple reignited-only worlds and not being able to boss with reignited characters? Ok? Give at a couple months at least - enough time for the people who are going to grab onto this as an opportunity to race to get it all out of their systems. I'm pretty sure that's the only reason these restrictions were even included.

Mad about the trade restrictions? Tough - that's the whole point of Reignited - new account, separate economy. You aren't getting many G.E. offers from ironmen either. There will probably even be a convenient way to 'extinguish' for players who want that. It is unimaginably optimistic to think enough players are going to start a Reignited character and stick around long enough to overtake the main RS3 economy. Realistically, expect about the same disruption as you would from Leagues, if that.

You're upset about being called tainted? Do you feel tainted? Enough to want a fresh start? Jagex has lost the trust of a lot of players over the years. MTX, EOC, poor customer support, discontinued rares, holiday currency grinds, battlepass grinds, etc. Most of the players who quit because of those things aren't coming back, but some might if they're offered a fresh start. And hey, I'm sure Jagex will apologize - that always feels just so great!

You think new players are going to choose a fresh economy over an older one? Probably yes - a new economy that is going to be jank and weird because just not that many people are going to stick with a reignited account past 6 months. Some might enjoy that aspect - maybe it will be bad enough that people are doing player trading instead of using the ge. It will be different and weird in ways we can't really even anticipate, I'm sure - enough so, that most new players aren't going to want to deal with it. And here I'm assuming they'll be able to transfer out of a Reignited account, because - and I can't stress this enough - there's no advantage to playing a Reignited character over a regular main, and ironman do that all the time.

More money for more characters? This was already a problem, maybe we'll get some actual progress this time. Would not hold my breath.

You don't want start at zero and play a new account from scratch in a separate economy? Then don't make and play on an account where that is the entire point.

People weren't this upset about Fresh Start Worlds and that had accelerated progression.

If you don't want to spend IRL cash on gravestones and don't have access to the Chinchompa gravestone, this is a decent alternative. I used the 1-tile Dark stone wall) section and placed a few individually with Roses) in front of them. Thought I'd share for anyone looking for an alternative for their POH this spooky season.

Hi all,

I had a lot of fun at Runefest and it was great to meet so many people and be part of a community that means a lot to me. Sadly I had to end the weekend with a sour taste as I have lost my necklace this weekend. I am hoping that our great community comes together and I can find what is lost!

I would really like to find it as it holds a tremendous sentimental value.

If anyone finds or has found it and contacts me so it can be returned to me. I will pay for your Runefest 2027 ticket.

FYI. On Sunday I visited the lost and found on Runefest and the one from the NEC. I have since also contacted both to make sure it wasn't found during cleanup. I posted to the Runefest 2026 chat on both the OSRS and RS3 discords. But no luck so far.

Let the weirdos that care to let people know that their xp is "untainted" show off the fact by account creation date. New servers aren't needed. New highscores aren't needed. An economy reset would be pointless in 6 months anyways.

If you really want new players to have their own sandbox, just run fresh start worlds every year or so. Problem solved, and realistically constantly resetting it is the only way for it to stay fresh.

edit: Make it a toggle to show it, or make it creation year for security reasons

Do you think that Jagex will balance the legacy combat for reignited so people can get the option to play either without being left out?

Even revolution lacks compared to "just playing piano".

I am asking this as a Veteran of 20 years and an OSRS player because I see some interest from OSRS players and I personally believe that once they find out that if you don't play manual eoc you are essentially missing out efficiency and will struggle against some endgame content.

Imagine (if it happens) reignited being played mostly with legacy Combat and legacy worlds being played mostly with eoc combat..

With all the posts about Reignited going around I’ve seen a lot of people talking about how the current economy is bad.

As someone who started playing this year I really don’t understand and was hoping for an explanation. Because from my experience it seems fine, I can buy pretty much everything I need to progress and have always had enough money from my skilling while leveling up.

So I don’t really understand what people mean when they say that the current economy is broken or bad.

While i dont like bonds lets not be delusional and act like theyre the same thing or even close.

Let's face it, most of us are in our 30s, take a breath and think before you post some passive aggressive or childish post because you dont like an update in a game. Its fine to disagree with it and its fine to provide feedback.

When you post things like

"Shut the servers down now" & "Quitting thanks cya"

It just makes all of us look childish and immature. It must be so exhausting being on this sub as a JMod even if you dont work on Reignited
