Editorial opinion startupxo

The setting of starting the story in a region that has only recently begun to be explored, like in Ashenfall, feels fresh. For existing RS fans, it's a familiar area but also gives a sense of expansion as an unknown land. However, I'm curious how the fact that RS4 will operate independently from RS, OSRS, and Dragon Wilds will affect user community fragmentation and account integration possibilities. Since there are still several years before launch, I look forward to detailed information on how platform support, membership, and motivation elements for progression will be designed.
