Running from today until Sunday
Well be running a short Double XP event from today at 12pm Game Time through Sunday, September 14 at 12pm Game Time as Make Good for disruption in our last event.
During this time, youll have 12 hours of Double XP to use whenever you like. This is a standard Double XP re-activation including use of any items, earning Double XP Tokens, the Double XP Token store and usual bundles or promotions that are automatically activated alongside DXP.
Need to re-acquaint yourself with Double XP? Check here! And If you'd like to know more about the rationale behind this and see how we worked with players to come to a decision, check out Mod Hooli's Reddit thread here and the follow up to feedback here.
7 days to go!
Leagues are just around the corner, launching on September 15! Ahead of that date, we want to give you a quick overview of what to expect and how the flow will work.
- Next Monday at 11:15am BST we will have our usual maintenance downtime. The worlds will go offline for a few moments to apply updates.
- From there players will be able to log back into regular worlds but not play Leagues just yet.
- Our teams will be doing some final checks after pushing the Leagues content to the Live Servers, this is aimed to finish just before 1:00pm BST, but we are giving the team all the time they need to be sure everything is ready.
- We will be communicating any changes in launch time via our social channels, in game broadcasts and this newspost.
- Once the team has signed off, the Leagues Worlds will begin the process of being brought online, ahead of this we will be announcing it in game & via our social channels. With a final announcement when they are live!
- From there players can hop over onto League Worlds and get started!
So Key Info! Regular maintenance at 11:15 am BST will not be the start of the Leagues but instead we aim to begin at 1:00 pm BST.
Now we still have another few days of Reveals ahead of us, If you haven't already make sure you dive into our Relic Reveals & FAQ to get up to spend with all things Leagues!
Taking ya to task!
Weve been working closely with our friends at the RuneScape Wiki to make Leagues as approachable as possible! Ahead of launch, theyve uploaded all the Easy and Medium tasks coming to Leagues. You can check them out here and start planning your first steps.
Theyve also set up the WikiSync feature, which lets you automatically track your task completion on the Wiki. Youll be prompted to enable this during Leagues onboarding, making it easier than ever to stay on top of your goals. Be sure to give it a try!
Want to get started?
Getting started in an MMO can be a process. Sure, the game has tutorials but sometimes you want something a little more personal, from the perspective of a fellow player.
Thats exactly what TheRSGuy and his team have created with TheRSGuide, an interactive website packed with resources. From account setup to in-depth explanations of game systems and mechanics, plus recommendations on how to get started and keep progressing, its all there.
Whether youre new to RuneScape or just need a refresher, this website is a fantastic resource youll find yourself returning to again and again.
Fixes and Improvements in this Week's Game Update
With the launch of Leagues fast approaching, our focus has shifted toward final testing and preperations for launch next week. As a result, there wont be a new patch notes update this week. Instead, the team is fully dedicated to polishing the Leagues experience and ensuring everything is ready for a smooth launch.
What's up next?
With the activation of a standard Double XP event, the usual Treasure Hunter promotions will be automatically available for the duration. These are:
Starts September 8th | Ends September 15th | DXP Dozen
Dive into this DXP-themed Dozen promotion! Choose prizes to fill up gems and crack 'em open to win from your chosen selection!
