I can not see a reason to join the fresh start worlds. If you have any kind of life you will not be in the race for the firsts and these fresh start worlds are no different than creating a new account. Now if this was creating say a sub account/player for each account that shared membership I could see the value in reexploring the world and doing quests again. An account having two separate players would be interesting but I would not pay a second membership to do this. It feels like a cheap attempt to milk a second membership out of players rather than allowing players to reexplore the world and relive their early Runescape experiences.

There is really no early Runesape experiences to "relive" with FSW. It gets everything from the main game and will continue to get anything new the main game is going to give.

If you only want to re-explore the world as a new players, of course, you can and should do it in the main game with a new alt there. I believe Jagex made it very clear in that respect. FSW aren't aimed at existing players. They are here for new and long lapsed players to catch up with with the modern day content by getting higher xp rates as well as boons and other rewards.

With this update in mind I'm fairly sure I will join on FSW.
Getting myself a decent alt account and having the possibility to have it's membership paid for by my main is a great relief.

Props to Jagex adaptation and work on the feedback. Dutch Infinity and beyond

To those who kept defending Jagex's BS about FSW being for new and returning players -- what do you have to say now? Just look at the top scorers so far. The majority of the names are alt accounts. One guy even created over 73 alt accounts. This is and always was meant for alt runners. Alt accounts are what's keeping the main game afloat and FSW was created with them solely in mind.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

How surprising to see experienced veteran players with their clans and lots of friends getting on top of the clueless new players on Hiscores?

New players aren't there for the Hiscores competition obviously. It is xp and milestone rewards they are going for. Actually, if you look at how many super low level players on Hiscores, you should know there are a bunch of totally clueless new players just exploring FSW.

And those xp and milestone events will have zero validity once merged with the main game because what validity could anything "earned" during a limited timed event on isolated servers have when the entire player base population did not actively participate in it?

How about the ridiculous number of 99s earned during the first 2 days of the event or the number of 120s currently on top lists? It's a freaking joke. But please continue defending it if it makes you feel better or keeps you in good stead with the mods.

This was never meant for new players nor returning players and that's all I've been saying since this frakking thing was announced.

Don't you realize the token rewards from FSW are tradeable? Everybody in the main game can buy them from FSW players. Every one is affected, if they choose to be affected.
