Jagex has announced that in conjunction with their 300 million account celebrations, they will launch Fresh Start servers for RuneScape and Old School RuneScape on September 12th for RS3 and in October for OSRS. The name suggests that these are fresh servers that players can begin from scratch in the same way as all other players. The fresh start servers will be available for a short duration (4 months) with players being moved to normal servers following the duration of the event.

RuneScape Fresh Start Worlds are set to be available for four months which will allow players to revisit RuneScape with friends as they return to famous cities, memorable quests, areas of skilling and boss fights that will give players accelerated gaming boosts and XP. Players can return to the main game at any time, with their newly-levelled character, as well as all the abundant rewards, which include new clothing pets, pet skins, new skills, and exclusive tradable rewards. For the competitive players, There's also the additional incentive of an eight-week competition focusing on world-firsts and high-scoring.

Old School RuneScape Fresh Start Worlds will be launched in October and provide players with an exciting challenge and chance. In contrast to RuneScape, Old School Fresh Start Worlds won't get the XP boost, meaning players must use their brains to stay ahead. It will provide players with the exact Old School RuneScape experience players are familiar with, but they'll be stepping into the world of an entirely new economy and high-scoring scores that are waiting to be taken advantage of. Six months after launch, players will be able to have their avatars transferred to an official game server in order to keep the fun going for many years to be.

In the course of this year's season, Jagex replaced the Old School RuneScape duel arena with a brand new 1v1 version, as the previous version was used to facilitate trade in real money (RMT) and other illegal activities. It's been a while since the change, smart players have already adjusted to the new format by using new strategies to make money fast which led the studio to issue warnings.

The new strategy is known as "chucking" that involves wagering massive sums of GP in a duel 1v1 which usually requires an intermediary to pay the prize pool that is padded to the person who won the duel. In recent times there have instances when one participant was fighting on behalf of another to get a share of the prize pool that is inflated.

"As you are aware the primary reason behind the elimination of the Duel Arena was to stop an activity that we believed was not in accordance to our regulations," said Jagex. "However we've observed that since the launch of the PvP Arena the rule-breaking actions have changed accordingly. These actions are basically akin to commission taking' and have become more prevalent in the past residents in Duel Arena." Duel Arena."

"We would like to make it certain that 'community chucking' either by hosting or taking part it is not permitted and infringes on rules of the Games of Chance section of our Game Rules," warned the studio. "This is the case regardless of whether the host gets tips or not. Additionally, any staking or duels with the assistance of a middleman is prohibited. We will pursue people and accounts who are involved in staking or throwing."

Another form of activity Jagex warns of is not in compliance with the game's terms of service is re-roll raffles. "A Re-roll Giveaway is a game where players participate, often for an expense, for the chance of winning some prize. After a certain number of participants have registered and the host has decided to select an unlucky winner among the entries," the studio explained. "After the winner has been selected the viewers are occasionally encouraged to make the host an offsite gift or tip - usually in the form real-world cash - to be able to re-roll the outcome of the "giveaway'. This could occur at any time as well as a potential infinite number of replays."
