Not to mention the recent servers popularity, which died of incredibly quick. When it started, unlike Alora.

Why not create a fresh world?
Instantly triple the player base again, make things completely new! Especially with the new updates coming.

Just a thought, keep the old world for vets and create a fresh one for newcomers/returned players.

Was a suggestion recently about FSW, and there seemed to be a 50-50 response on it. From what I've heard, Omicron isn't opposed to it. We'll see what happens tho

I think more worlds with a neutral/better pings for people would be better considering a lot of people play on high ping also from what I understand the server's platform its built on is outdated so updates take longer with more bugs so honestly updating the platform and having consistent updates with little to no bugs would make the server BOOM plus more worlds for players with shit ping. This also could be advertised which would bring back a lot of players considering a lot quit because of this reason IMO but a fresh world wouldn't be awful, Neutral l on this.

fresh start but... SEASONAL. Rotating game modes become fresh start leaderboards for X amount of months. then merge back into normal leaderboards after that one ends. get store tokens as rewards for certain mile stones like leagues / new game modes. First to max, first tbow, first scythe etc etc. Top 1 or top 3 exp on hiscores gets some stuff too and maybe forum award.

I honestly wouldn't mind fresh worlds but can understand the downside to opening up worlds as-well. Would be interesting to see for sure!

I mean, for a RSPS that's 6 years old, with content way out of this league. We all know creating a fresh world this PS will easily hit 1-2K player base. Filling omricons pockets, and bringing more life back to the PS, if closing down original server needs be, then it needs be. Waste of potential IMO, but that's up to Omricon, I haven't played for years but I had an email the other day.. and just thought wow, if a fresh world was started I'd definitely play again, and if I think that, imagine the player base that would follow. Food for thought?

with the next league coming up soon, we will see if the player base raise by alot, if not, i dont see any points in fresh worlds.

 

i think alora is an osrs player base with nostalgia of playing osrs with less effort. i dont really think fresh world would change alot.

 

i am not against adding a world 2, but it would only split the actual player base in 2.

 

a fresh start for everyone? i think alora would just lose all its loyal players and the server would go down. ( i would personally quit )

 

league is already a fresh start so lets take that opportunity to all make new accounts and start over without having to lose all the time we have spend on our main accounts.

[Radagon]

My only concern would be dividing the already small playerbase

[IO UI OI]

People enjoy the fact of a new start, especially a RSPS that's been out 5+ Years, who knows maybe leagues will bring more players, but it definitely won't bring as many as a fresh world would. Also you shouldn't make this about yourself @Strudel, you may quit, but 50 may join, and even then, we both know. You'd still log in and start again.

This would result in a significant waste of development resources, staff time, and financial investment. The advantages of this approach would not be nearly as substantial as some individuals here seem to think.

 

Omicron would need to heavily invest in advertising and provide both IRL and in-game rewards upon release to attract both current and new players. Omicron would also need to minimise the offerings in the store; otherwise, the purpose of introducing a fresh world would be undermined if players could immediately purchase items such as barrows, godswords, and mystery boxes from the get-go.

 

Most RSPS players are no longer jumping between RSPS and OSRS as frequently as in previous years. And the number of players in the RSPS scene has undoubtedly slackened off compared to previous years. I would say that there are currently no more than 5,000 players actively in the RSPS community. It is also important to consider the misleading player count multipliers on many RSPS, which can range from 1.2 to 1.5 times the actual number. While 5,000 might seem like a huge figure, it really isn’t that impressive. Many RSPS players are really into their iron man game mode and are pretty loyal to the servers they are currently playing on.

 

Unless your full-time job is Alora, no one is going to compete on the hiscores. A lot of us have full-time jobs, and some are also managing family responsibilities or raising children. If anything, only a small number may consider taking time off work if the incentives are appealing. How many players will leave or return to the main game once the big rewards for being the first to achieve this or obtain that have been claimed? You also have to consider that the vast majority of Alora's community are veteran iron men, making it unlikely that they would abandon hundreds of hours of dedication, only to start anew. There will be no PvP interactions or gambling available for the normies... Maybe they will have the opportunity to earn some quick gp by exchanging currency between different worlds. And I really feel like it might be a struggle to bring in fresh faces from outside the Alora scene.

 

Once the initial excitement of the early game wears off and all the rewards have been snagged, the fresh world will start to lose its spark and will die.

i am not making this about myself, you are the one saying it would triple the player base, can we have any proof? i am pretty sure it would kill the server more than it would help. this suggestion seems more like a nuisance for the server than to bring it any benefits

 

we had a league not to long ago, yes it bring back some old/new players but they play for the competition and the rewards, those are not the daily player base that alora have and need. the daily gamers that play are the ones making alora stable. those  ''new'' players are only playing for the time set of the event and quit. you seem to be a new player bringing up a suggestion with no evidence related. i have been playing this server for years and there will always be newcomers and plp that quit, its part of the game and we all have our life.

 

fresh world wouldnt change anything at this point , it would only ruin all effort made by player and omicron over several years.

[IO UI OI]

What effort would it ruin for Omricon? When it still be the same server just a fresh economy..look at [redacted], as old as this server, a simple fresh world they have over 1K players. Proof is in the pudding.

[Redacted] main server has been dead for ages. I wonder how long it’ll take before everyone gets fed up and leaves, just like before, leading the owners to abandon it again.

[Redacted] is super popular for their hype releases due to their past successes and dominance in the RSPS scene, but Jordan and Stuart struggle to keep their players around for long.
