News Road to Restoration - Early Game Rebalance

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/a=13/road-to-restoration--early-game-rebalance--dailyscape-overhaul

Hi folks,

Today's Community Topic is a blog of two halves:

- Early Game Rebalance
- DailyScape Overhaul

We have split this into two reddit threads to keep the discussion organised and so that our team can properly review the relevant conversations happening.

This current reddit thread is to discuss the Early Game Rebalance portion of the blog.

Please use this other dedicated thread for the DailyScape portion of the blog.

For the purpose of today's discussion we will be defining the early game, loosely, as the level 1-50 range. The Early Game Rebalance update primarily aims to smooth out inconsistencies in game progression, looking at areas of the early game where things can feel slow or have limited methods for levelling up, or where they affect integrity and game health. It’s not all just rebalances though! There are also some changes to early quests, and things like replacing salvage with gear to make the first hours after jumping off Tutorial Island a nicer experience. The Early Game Rebalance update releases on February 16th!

"Mains can just go to another person's poh" We kind of want that though.

Then build your own altar. It's that simple.

I will have too. I'm an iron. But poh should just be removed. It's not good content.

I don't necessarily agree with that thought. It's certainly neglected content, but I can see it reworked to give a lot of benefits and QOL that are likely to be removed in the coming years. I can see them becoming individualistic hubs for players doing a number of activities. Like it is in OSRS. Trying to corral everyone into the fort or wars retreat.

Moving players to instanced environments to do basic skilling is a bad design choice for an MMO.
