GameElsewhere in Gielinor: RS4 and Old School Hardcore Worlds 05-Oct-2026
Two bits of news from Jagex's RuneFest 2026. RS4 is the working title of a new RuneScape MMO built in Unreal Engine, set in the Sixth Age and starting in Ashenfall, the land from Dragonwilds; it is a few years away, and for now there is only a sign-up (Jagex's page). Old School opens Hardcore Worlds on 4 November: one life, a separate bank and economy, trading allowed, and factions racing for world firsts, two weeks after the new raid, Fractured Archive (the roadmap). RWTScape is a fan-run server and is not connected to Jagex.
MarketHow the Market works 03-Oct-2026
The in-game Market is rebuilt: list, buy, bid and bundle in US dollars at the Exchange clerk in Varrock West Bank. Here is how it works, with pictures from the game.
GamePvP: a 25-level range and safe Varrock banks 03-Oct-2026
On the PvP world you can now attack, and be attacked by, players within 25 combat levels of you. In the Wilderness the range grows with depth. The Varrock banks are safe: West Bank, cellar included, and East Bank, every floor. A meter at the bottom right of the game screen shows who you can fight where you stand. The full rules are on the PvP page.
MarketHow the exchange works 21-Sep-2026
List your gold or items at the Exchange clerk in the Lumbridge courtyard, at a dollar price. A buyer clicks buy on this site or in game and pays from their dollar balance; the goods are collected at the Exchange clerk and the seller's balance grows by the price minus a 1% fee. Dollars come in and out as USDT on BNB Chain; the whole of it is on the money page.
Updated 3 October: the exchange is now the Market, the Exchange clerk stands in Varrock West Bank on both worlds, and you buy, sell and bid in the game window; how the Market works.
GameThe PvP world's rules 21-Sep-2026
Keep what you kill: when you die you lose everything you are wearing and carrying, unless you have Protect Item on, and then you keep all of it. Experience is 10x, and dying takes 10% of the experience you hold in every combat skill, and may take 10% from one of your non-combat skills at random; the game tells you which one it took from. These rules are live on the PvP world from 21 September 2026. The full rules are on the PvP page.
Updated 29 September: a death always takes 10% from one other skill at random, Prayer included, unless Protect Item is on.
Updated 3 October: with Protect Item on you keep one item, the one with the highest shop value, and lose the rest.
GameRWTScape is open 21-Sep-2026
Two worlds are live. Main is the 2004 game as it was, with player killing in the Wilderness only. PvP is every tile. One account plays both: your levels, items and bank are separate in each world, your dollar balance is the same in both. Here you can trade gold and items for real money on the exchange, play several accounts at once, and keep what you earn. Pick a world on the Play page.
Updated 3 October: on PvP you can attack players within 25 combat levels of you, and the Varrock banks are safe (the post).
