We're thrilled to share exciting developments about our upcoming fresh start. This goes far beyond a mere server wipe or relaunch—we're crafting an entirely new experience built upon years of valuable lessons and community feedback.

Most importantly, we're proud to make our first public announcement: The legend returns! N0m, one of the original visionaries behind the success of RSCR, has rejoined as a co-founder and developer of this ambitious new project.

Key details about the project

• True to Classic, With Modern Comforts: Our vision is to stay faithful to the original while introducing thoughtful quality-of-life improvements. Let's be honest—as much as we cherish RSC, nostalgia often gives us a slightly rosier view than reality. We're keeping the authentic spirit while smoothing out the rough edges.

• Releasing with most custom content removed: We are starting from the basics while keeping the quality-of-life improvements we have already done.

• Combat Formula Overhaul: We're refining the combat calculations to more accurately reflect how they functioned in the original game.

• Equipment Tab Removed: Embracing the old-school experience, we've eliminated the equipment tab completely. It's all about that authentic classic feel.

• Pure F2P Experience (For Now): At launch, we're focusing exclusively on free-to-play content. All members-only skills and areas will remain locked.

• Focus on Preserving Combat Integrity: No content that significantly alters PvP mechanics. This means no introduction of stronger armors, weapons, amulets, rings, or any items that would create an unfamiliar combat experience.

• Sustainable Economy: We're implementing replica-accurate drop rates and avoiding features that could disrupt economic balance or allow quick creation of wealth. Our goal is economic stability for the long term. This means no areas or npcs with excessive drop rates or bonuses.

• Balanced Wilderness Activity: While RSCR featured entertaining automated events and boss drops, we'll be more judicious with content that might negatively impact wilderness activity or the consumption of player-crafted items. Special content will still exist, but won’t be so accessible.

• Refined Moderation: Player moderators provide valuable assistance but can sometimes create community tension. We're developing an improved support system with a lighter touch.

• Hosted in Europe and North America: After launch we will work hosting the same project in Europe and North America. It is a tough decision to split the community over two worlds, but this will provide the best player experience. Hosts will share the same player database, marketplace and communications between each other.

Current progress

We've completed the code cleanup process, removing most custom content while preserving essential quality-of-life improvements. We're currently testing core functionality and focusing on delivering the best possible F2P experience for our fresh server launch.

While we can't announce a specific release date yet, we're making steady progress toward creating something special that will be worthy of your time.

Stay tuned for more updates as we approach launch!
