Jagex delivered one of the most ambitious reveal streams in Old School RuneScape history with the 2026 Winter Summit. Unlike previous summits that focused on the next few months, this showcase laid out the entire roadmap for 2026, giving players a rare long-term look at what's coming to Gielinor. From new bosses and quests to Leagues 6, Sailing expansions, PvP overhauls, and even Raid 4, the summit made it clear that OSRS isn't slowing down anytime soon. As always, all details remain subject to polling and iteration—but the scope alone has the community buzzing. Global Growth and Community Events Before diving into gameplay content, Jagex highlighted several important community and infrastructure updates. Expanded International Servers Following player feedback, Jagex confirmed plans to expand international server support. Latin America is first on the list, addressing long-standing ping issues for South American players. Asia and the Middle East are also on the roadmap, marking a major step toward global accessibility. Major Events in 2026 Deadman Mode Finals (Chicago – June 2026): The first official RuneScape event outside the UK RuneFest 2026 (October): Bigger than ever, returning to Birmingham Gridmaster Bingo Tools (Autumn): Clan and community bingo events get official support A New Early-Game Boss for Fresh Adventurers One of the biggest surprises was the reveal of a brand-new early-game boss, accessible within a player's first few hours. To unlock it, players must complete a new free-to-play quest, The Ides of Milk, marking the first F2P quest addition since Below Ice Mountain in 2021. Notable Rewards Cowbell Amulet: Teleports to Lumbridge's east cow pen Rum Steak: New food healing 10 HP Bull Bones: Improved Prayer XP over big bones Muleta: A new melee offhand introducing early shield offense Cosmetic items, a pet, and combat achievements This boss is clearly designed to teach positioning, mechanics, and progression—something OSRS has historically lacked in the early game. Deadman Mode Gets Its Most Accessible Version Yet Deadman Mode returns with major changes aimed at lowering the barrier to entry. Key Improvements You only risk what you carry (no more losing bank keys) Skilling, quests, and boss KC now contribute to progression PvP remains dangerous, but casual players can participate safely Deadman launches January 30, and for the first time, even PvP-skeptical players are feeling tempted to give it a shot. Summer Sweep-Up Returns in 2026 After massive success in 2024 and 2025, Summer Sweep-Up is back—though its details will be community-driven this time. Past improvements included: Elemental weaknesses Slayer master block lists Weapon and armor balance passes For 2026, speculation includes: A potential Shadow staff rework New incentives for resource gathering Improvements to mining and skilling economy loops Sailing's Massive 2026 Roadmap Sailing continues to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback, and Jagex unveiled a roadmap within a roadmap. Spring: Ship Combat Fixes Improved cannonball production Cannon accuracy scaling with ranged gear Separate ammo systems Potential new Kraken sources for dragon cannon barrels Summer: The Red Reef Quest Continuation of the Tortugan questline Undercover and underwater gameplay Access to the Sacred Grove, offering: +7 invisible Woodcutting boost Deposit box Sailing and Smithing XP Players will also vote on a player-designed island, with ship-to-ship NPC combat finally entering the game. Autumn & Winter A new, hardest-yet Barracuda Trial A mystery quest sequel An Ocean Expansion, potentially expanding the Eastern, Untamed, Forgotten, or Sunset Oceans Leagues 6: Demonic Pact Leagues 6 is one of the closest major releases and comes packed with twists. Major Changes Region-locked format returns Starting region is no longer Misthalin Karamja remains free Echo bosses return with new mechanics Combat mastery paths are less linear Notably, Sailing will not be available, allowing Jagex to refine its integration for future leagues. Rewards Highlights New outfit and banner Recall animation Throne reskins Cosmetic Slayer Helm, Soulreaper Axe, and character skins Blood Moon Rises: The Vampire Quest Finale The Grandmaster quest Blood Moon Rises concludes the vampire storyline and introduces the realm of Vampyrium. Major Features Final upgrade to the Blisterwood Flail New vampire-slaying special attack weapon New training methods: Bloodwood Trees (Woodcutting) New Hunter creatures Leechfin Fishing (resource-focused XP) PvM Additions Seeker Arrows: Accuracy and minimum hit upgrades New Slayer monster: Venthors New boss: The Maggot King The Maggot King drops: Necklace of Pursuit (new BiS ranged amulet) Crimson Bludgeon, a high-skill crush weapon with multi-roll accuracy mechanics Raid 4: The Fractured Archives The summit closed with the most anticipated reveal: OSRS Raid 4, arriving in Winter 2026. What We Know So Far Guthix-themed Fast-paced, Theater of Blood-style design 2–8 players (soloable but very difficult) Multi-boss structure with an epic final encounter Rewards are still undecided, with Jagex actively seeking community feedback to ensure the raid feels worthy of its place alongside existing endgame content. Final Thoughts The 2026 Winter Summit showcased a bold vision for Old School RuneScape. From early-game accessibility to high-end PvM, from Sailing expansions to Leagues experimentation, the game continues to evolve without losing its identity. While the timeline may feel slightly uneven, the sheer volume of planned content makes one thing clear: OSRS is entering one of its most ambitious years ever. Now the question remains—what are you most excited for? rsgoldfast-style marketplaces are ideal for buying OSRS gold because there’s no shady middleman involved. visit:https://www.rsgoldfast.com/

MMOexp – Aion 2 Update Preview: Hardware Bans & Class Overhauls
MirabelConnell posted a topic in RS General Chat
NCSoft's latest Aion 2 live stream delivered one of the most impactful update previews to date, revealing sweeping changes that affect anti-cheat enforcement, class balance, dungeon difficulty, quality-of-life systems, and macro gameplay. From hardware-bound bans aimed at botters to major Assassin, Cleric, and Chanter updates, this patch signals a much stricter and more refined direction for the game. Below is a full breakdown of everything revealed. Hardware-Bound Bans: Aion 2's Strongest Anti-Cheat Measure Yet The most significant announcement from the live stream is the introduction of hardware-bound account bans. Unlike traditional bans that can be bypassed by creating new accounts or changing IP addresses, this system targets the entire PC hardware profile. If a player is banned: All PC component serial numbers are blocked Changing IP addresses will not help A new account will not work on the same machine In extreme cases, even the modem may be flagged To bypass a hardware ban, a player would need to replace major PC components such as the motherboard and GPU—making rule-breaking extremely costly. This is a major escalation against botters, macro abusers, and players violating the Terms of Service. Improved In-Game Reporting System (February 4 Update) Following the February 4 patch, Aion 2's in-game report system will receive a major upgrade: Reports will trigger near-instant admin response Suspected bots can be investigated live Immediate in-game action can be taken Combined with hardware bans, this system significantly increases the risk for botting or automation abuse. Anti-Bot Enforcement and Legal Action NCSoft also revealed statistics showing the scale of their anti-bot campaign: 873,000 bot cases have already resulted in bans Legal actions have been taken against cheat developers and distributors Anti-cheat enforcement now includes real-world legal consequences VPN access to Korean servers is also being restricted, though ping reducers are not affected, as they do not hide user locations or function as VPNs. Gathering Changes: Level Requirement Increased To further disrupt bot activity: Gathering will now unlock at level 45 Players must fully level before accessing resource farming This significantly raises the barrier for automated farming accounts Dungeon Changes: Difficulty and Balance Adjustments Nest of Droids Dungeon Normal and Hard modes are considered mechanically simple Bosses were overly tanky, leading to long kill times Upcoming changes reduce boss durability, improving pacing Abyss Adjustments Lower Abyss mobs slightly nerfed Abyss bosses receive HP increases Middle Abyss rewards increased by 40% (Kina and Abyss Points) to better match time investment Class Balance Changes Overview Assassin – Massive Modifications Assassins receive extensive mechanical and balance changes across multiple skills. Due to the volume of updates, players are encouraged to review the full change list carefully, as these adjustments significantly affect PvP and PvE performance. Cleric – Survivability Reworked Status effect resistance converted into damage tolerance Skill values redistributed for better consistency Overall survivability and defensive utility improved Chanter – One of the Biggest Winners This Patch Chanter gameplay receives major improvements, especially for farming and PvP: Key highlights: Rushing Smash cooldown resets on kill, enabling rapid mob farming Reduced need for charge time on key abilities Guaranteed hit stigma when enchanted to +10 Wind of Promise damage increased Improved mantras, including bonus status resistance Healing Touch regeneration effects strengthened These changes dramatically improve Chanter efficiency in open-world farming and arenas. Shock Resistance and Status Effect Updates Shock Resistance Scrolls now block all status effects, not just impact: Frost Fear Root Sleep Seal This is a huge PvP change, especially against Sorcerers and control-heavy builds. The effect only triggers when CC successfully lands, preserving balance. Additionally: Enchant Dispel can now remove invulnerability effects Shield-breaking skills destroy all active shields on hit Macro System and Skill Canceling (Officially Supported) Aion 2 now officially supports skill animation canceling through macros: Allows skills to function like auto-attacks Supports limited repeat actions (5–6 executions) No infinite loop or full automation Fully legal and developer-approved This system removes the need for third-party macros and levels the playing field for all players. Quality-of-Life Improvements Warehouse Expansion A second independent storage section added Storage space effectively doubled Expansion available via in-game currency or shop items Reconnect Timer Increased Dungeon reconnection window extended from 1 minute to 10 minutes Allows recovery from crashes or restarts Boss Timers Real-time in-game tracking for bosses and events added Sanctuary Access Entry attempt limits removed Players can freely assist guildmates and others New Dungeon and Shop Updates A new dungeon launches on February 11 Release slightly delayed by one week New shop items include skins and collections Final Thoughts This Aion 2 update represents a major step forward for the game's health and longevity. The combination of: Hardware-bound bans Live admin enforcement Macro system legalization Class balance improvements Farming and storage QoL updates shows a clear focus on fairness, player retention, and long-term stability. Among all changes, the hardware-bound ban system stands out as the most impactful. If implemented correctly, it could permanently cripple botting and cheating in Aion 2. For players who value competitive integrity and active development, this update is a strong sign that Aion 2 is moving in the right direction. 13 thg 1, 2026 — Members can exchange Aion 2 gear here, from weapons and armor to materials and other tradable items. visit:https://www.mmoexp.com/Aion-2/Items.html -

MMOexp – ARC Raiders Headwinds Update: Matchmaking, Augments, QoL
MirabelConnell posted a topic in RS General Chat
The ARC Raiders Headwinds update, also referred to as the January update, has officially gone live. While initially positioned as a relatively light patch ahead of February's larger content update, Headwinds delivers far more than expected. Beneath its headline features lies a wide range of gameplay adjustments, new progression systems, augments, quests, and quality-of-life improvements that meaningfully impact the day-to-day ARC Raiders experience. Here's a full breakdown of everything included in the Headwinds update. Solos vs Squads Matchmaking: High Risk, High Reward One of the headline features of the update is a new Solos vs Squads matchmaking condition, a surprising addition given how punishing solo play can be in ARC Raiders. Key details: Available only to level 40+ players Solo players are placed into squad matchmaking queues Grants a 20% XP bonus, regardless of extraction success or failure While solo players remain at a natural disadvantage, the flat XP bonus makes this mode attractive for fast leveling or passive progression. Since the bonus is performance-based rather than combat-dependent, players can avoid fights entirely or aggressively hunt squads depending on playstyle. Though niche, the system offers a flexible risk–reward option that could be especially appealing in calmer trio lobbies. Trophy Display Project: Long-Term Progression with Big Rewards The new Trophy Display Project introduces a permanent, long-term progression system that tasks players with hunting increasingly dangerous ARC groups and submitting their parts. Highlights include: A multi-stage display case upgrade path (five steps) Rewards such as blueprints, Raider Tokens, and currency Full completion rewards: A new emote A Jupiter weapon with ammo A guitar decoration 300,000 coins Notably, the project has no fixed end date and will not reset with future expeditions, giving players plenty of time to complete it at their own pace. Bird City: New Buried City Map Condition A new permanent map condition called Bird City has been added to Buried City and rotates into the weekly map cycle. What changes: Flocks of birds nest in chimneys across rooftops Nests may contain shiny loot items Increased rooftop combat More flying ARC enemies Additional bird traps and zip lines While visually interesting, the eight-hour rotation timing has raised questions, as it makes the condition relatively infrequent despite being a major update feature. Sand Walker Cosmetic Set The Sand Walker skin set is now available for 1,300 Raider Tokens, featuring: Uniform with variants Face paint Emote It's the primary cosmetic addition tied to the Headwinds update. New Epic Augments: Mark III Arrives Two powerful Mark III epic augments have been introduced, both available exclusively through blueprints. Safekeeper Mark III (Looting Augment) Allows any item, including weapons and shields, to be stored in safe pockets Reduced inventory capacity and fewer safe pocket slots Compatible with heavy shields (a first for looting augments) This augment fundamentally changes loot security, making it possible to protect high-value weapons extracted from enemy players or cases. Tactical Revival Mark III Passive healing: restores 1 HP every 5 seconds Healing pauses for 30 seconds after taking damage Reduced inventory space Two safe pockets Limited to Tier 1 shields This augment favors survivability and sustained play but requires sacrificing loot potential. New Quests Added The update adds seven new quests, including: Two available immediately Five unlocked through quest progression One confirmed six-part quest chain More quest guides are expected as players progress through them. Major Quality-of-Life Improvements Party and Squad Enhancements Open Party option allows friends to join without invites Squad members can now invite players, not just the party leader Stream Sniping Protection Optional matchmaking delay added for content creators Gamepad Rebinding Freebinding for most controller buttons now supported Bug Fixes Stella Montis Seed Vault extract exploit fixed Over 40 stuck locations corrected Improved wall damage mitigation Achievement fixes Loot and Economy Adjustments Several notable loot changes were introduced: Improved Higher-tier weapons more likely in weapon cases Reduced Condition-specific blueprint spawns during: Electromagnetic storms Hidden bunkers Locked gates Controversial Changes Lower drop rates for Matriarch and Queen unique parts Potentially discourages boss attempts and may increase griefing These changes aim to push players toward engaging directly with event locations, though early reactions are mixed. Stealth Changes and Unlisted Adjustments Players have already discovered several undocumented changes: New rubber duck variants (Doodly Duck, Flashy Duck) Ducks sell for more currency and work as den decorations Looting speed appears slightly slower overall Fire rate reductions to the Kettle Beretta and Venador Raider hatches animation fixed (no more sliding glitches) Updated Anti-Cheat System: Progressive Bans The anti-cheat system now uses a three-strike ban structure: 30-day ban 60-day ban Permanent ban While designed to reduce false positives, this change has sparked debate. Some players feel repeat offenders should be removed immediately, especially if the anti-cheat system is reliable. Final Thoughts The Headwinds update is far more substantial than initially advertised. Between matchmaking modifiers, permanent progression systems, new augments, loot rebalancing, QoL upgrades, and anti-cheat changes, it meaningfully reshapes how ARC Raiders plays on a daily basis. While some balance and loot decisions remain controversial, Headwinds lays strong groundwork ahead of February's larger content update—and proves ARC Raiders continues to evolve in depth and complexity. 10 thg 11, 2025 — Discover how to efficiently collect ARC Raiders blueprints with detailed locations and crafting tips. visit:https://www.mmoexp.com/Arc-raiders/Items.html - Yesterday

In the bustling world of online communities, it's crucial to read this post and understand the importance of idling in Discord and being online for events. Idling might seem inconsequential at first glance, but it plays a pivotal role in fostering a sense of connectivity and engagement within these virtual spaces. By remaining active on Discord, even when you're not actively participating in conversations, you contribute to the vibrancy of the community. Additionally, being online for events ensures that you don't miss out on valuable discussions, announcements, or opportunities for interaction. So, let's recognize the significance of idling and being present, as they are the threads that weave the fabric of our digital gatherings.

Would be nice but won't happen. I still have an account. And it wouldn't matter for me if we pulled 10 or 50. Still plenty of things to do in wildy, hopefully the new leader team would understand that instead of what they did before which resulted in closure.

no. why tf would we reopen ? we did everything the problem you have is this clan will not reopen without the otk. it is embarrassing how much damage can be done to a 20 year legacy clan when noobs and retards like @mpc and @Teleporting exist within a rank team.
