Some of the biggest things that have already been removed or reworked Microtransactions Buyable XP lamps and huge amounts of free daily XP is gone Auras If you don’t know what they are, auras were equippable items that used their own dedicated equipment slot. You bought them with loyalty points, which you earned each month you were a member. Most lasted around 1 hour and then had a 3-hour cooldown and stacked with all existing boosts. Examples: Vampyrism: Healed you for 5% of the damage you dealt Equilibrium: Increased ability damage by 12% Penance: Restored prayer points when you took damage Various XP-boosting auras, skilling auras, accuracy increasing auras… High-level bossing revolved around whether your aura was available. That whole system has now been removed. Its gone. Combat system rework A lot of abilities were removed, and the combat system is now more cohesive and easier to understand. For example, attack and strength abilities were consolidated into a single melee ability pool, all styles have more similar abilities etc Dailyscape was massively reduced Daily limits were removed from a ton of minigames and D & D Overpowered minigames were removed Stuff like Warbands that handed out huge amounts of XP for no effort has been removed UI is much better The interface has been simplified and the OSRS style classic interface is now actually usable even for pvm Cosmetics can be disabled ** Even the old player owned houses were removed and replaced with an empty lot!** Because there was a PoH and construction rework, but we can still retrieve the items and furniture we had stored in the old houses, dont worry Self explanatory AND IN THE COMING MONTHS
