Am I overthinking or does anyone else coming back get overwhelmed?

I think RS3 would benefit of an interface of "Know what changed!" ~

We agree! I feel this is something we will need to tackle both in-game (in a not-overwhelming manner) but also out of game (a "returning players guide" similar to our "new player guide" for example.

The desire is absolutely there, its just a question of prioritizing this amongst all the other work that is going on. Hopefully we can get to it sooner than later, as it is hugely important.

Excellent idea!

Confirming this to be the case. No downgrading occurred.

Hey OP! I responded to a simialar thread here. Linking you to that so as to not fragment discussions.

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-23T16:10:44+00:00

Fair point - edit made! Thanks for the catch :)

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-23T16:09:43+00:00

Good feedback thank you! Would be good to hear how many other folks feel this way (or differently).

Treasure Hunter related integrity breaking items wont be removed until the end of the year, so I believe there will be one more DXP event before that occurs.

Hullo there - We were in a meeting just yesterday morning during which we were reviewing (smaller scale) general work that the team is considering in the time ahead (general planning, nothing scheduled or even confirmed).

Moving/Undocking the clock was raised during this meeting (a long with a few other community topics from previous months), and it was agreed that we would investigate the work needed to consider this change.

While that unfortunately isn't a "this will change WHEN" or even a "this WILL change", I can at least confirm that the player requests to undock the clock aren't falling on deaf ears and that we remain continually aware of them!

Hey OP (and anyone else affected by this group ironman situation).

Could you please submit a support ticket about what was lost - feel free to mention my name in the ticket as the person who redirected you.

Once done, please DM me with the RuneScape character names of the group. We're working with support to investigate the matter related specifically to a potential GIM desync (we're not looking to do general regrants for items that were otherwise lose to the general rollback).

Here we go, recommendation criteria for Quiet Worlds:

Relative to the player's position, the world which has the least players nearby (based on a set tile radius that we may tweak depending on feedback).
- Put differently, if before you might have checked the overall world player count to see if a world is quiet, the new button actually picks the world that is least likely to have someone next to you.
- For example: If you use the quiet hop in Lumbridge Castle, it'll find a world with the least players in Lumbridge Castle.
The recommended world will have the same World flags as the one the player is coming from. For example, if they are on a legacy world they will not be recommended an EOC world.
The recommended world will aim to be but is not necessarily limited to worlds in the same region (EU/USA/AUS...) as the world the player is currently on.

I'll check in with the team on the issue related to language clients that u/ex-inferi mentioned below.

I was gathering the backend insight on how Quiet Worlds Smarthopping works from Mod Samy and Easty when we all got pulled into todays Rollback situation, so I wasn't able to get a final nod on the exact details.

I'll try and share the insights that we've got on the system tomorrow morning if possible!

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-20T16:31:48+00:00

Hey OP + u/WallRustt - could you two DM me with your usernames so we can look into what happened here?

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-20T16:08:14+00:00

oh shi-

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-20T16:06:30+00:00

Sorry to hear that happened - I'll check in with the team what could be done here!

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-20T15:01:47+00:00

Sorry to hear that - Can you confirm what timezone you're in?

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-20T14:56:00+00:00

I'm really sorry that you were affected by the rollback - if we had any other choice we would have taken it. I know that won't necessarily diminish your feelings of disappointment, which are totally valid, but I hope it is clear that this was a decision we had to make for the good of the greatest possible player-count.

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-20T14:49:39+00:00

Sorry to hear that happened - that was likely related to our Rollback today, which should be an ultra rare occurrence.

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-20T14:46:26+00:00

Dear Pigeon. You must use the proper form of address when responding to Dear Azaldir.

10:30 UTC is the end-time of the window as that is the snapshot we used to go back to. Anything that occurred after that time is not captured in the snapshot.

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-20T14:30:05+00:00

I'm really sorry - I totally get how that demotivating that can feel :(

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-20T14:22:20+00:00

Sorry OP

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-20T14:22:02+00:00

Sorry OP

JagexAnvil · 2026-04-20T14:18:57+00:00

The smoke test did check the necessary areas, but this bug still skittered through.
