Thank You DefqonDude for reading through all the questions!
I really like the doubts parts, that gives an extra perspective over a questions.

For number 8,
This is legitimate my own experience from a different game,
Where the biggest money maker method killed 'fresh start' economy and prices of premium currency were the same as original game in a short period of time.

So by rating the game strategies, I found out that
Croesus on such low requirements with potential for multiple kills per hour gives player opportunity to print millions of money which cannot be even compared with any other solo methods.

But after short realization I found how wrong am I :)
Considering fact, that someone with 16 accounts paying same amount of attention can make three times as much making my point fairly irrelevant.

So I am happy for Sus Enjoyers to see their Sus Pet Halo attempts from very beginning :)


Can you tell us what "different game" are you comparing RS3 FSW to?

Remember, we are talking about Fresh Start in RS3. There is hardly any gp in a fresh start economy. You wont billions of gp from Croesu when nobody gets billions of gp in the game to buy them.

why did they get rid of the boon for 100 percent chance at the halo pets?... now it's going to be just as annoying as it is in the main game to get pets. that was one of the big things i was looking forward to.

It might be a pain to travel but there are plenty of trees, rabbits, cows, trolls, etc unless I'm somehow miss-understanding and you are required to chop a few trees, kill cows and trolls, etc? I don't think so but?

Goblins, Lumbridge cows, highwaymen, there's a number of places and things to do to get started. Fishing is instanced for and you'll need food. But this is a legitimate question, it might be very hard to even pick up the low level weapons in Burthorpe to get started for example.

Bonds - Your better off without them if you can spend a few $ IRL. On a world with nothing in GE to start, and nobody with GP also, it will be a significant problem playing in a way to earn money for bonds rather than using GP to speed your play.

I understand a few of your other concerns also. It's important to keep in mind Fresh Start is less about players and more about raising money for Jagex. I have no problem with Jagex doing this, I prefer it by far to "micro" transactions in RS as that would likely make me quit.

I think this is a good idea in general to allow Jagex to make money while not doing it in a way that "requires" anyone to participate or pay in the main game.

War of Legends destroyed itself when Jagex put a new piece of armor in game they had promised months ago and was needed for the higher tower levels. Nothing wrong with that right? Well yes there was, the price was $50 US for just a single leg piece of armor. I quit that day, never logged in again.

I would prefer the same doesn't happen to RS so I don't have to find a new game to play. So the Fresh start is a good idea. More information is needed on how it will work even after today's post though.

Existing players don't like new players to get pets at faster rate. Jagex made this change probably because the new players are OK with it since pets are purely cosmetics and untradeable anyway. I get it Jagex's targeted players want faster xp and tradeable rares the most. The other minor things are secondary.

yeah, but it's a cosmetic appearence.... it doesn't actually unlock the pet in the main game. there was no reason to get rid of that.

Personally I don't care as getting a pet and pet skin is my own personal achievements, but some players like to make a mountain out of an anthill and this change will just shut them up.

yeah, it shuts up some and then makes another group of people mad. lol


TBH, I don't see anybody getting "mad" because of the change in skilling pet drop rate. Vast majority of players love boss pet far more as we can easily seen everywhere.
