Old School RuneScape Hardcore Worlds Are Finally Here!

The day has finally arrived! Hardcore Worlds are now open in Old School RuneScape. Now is the time to test your mettle and see just how long you can survive the dangers of Gielinor.

Hardcore Worlds Are Open

Death’s challenge awaits. The recent popularity of Hardcore MMO challenges has been sweeping the internet across various games. However, the biggest spike in popularity came from the World of Warcraft community addon, which eventually spiraled into an officially supported game mode.

Jagex is now taking a similar approach. The Old School RuneScape community has been running Ironman, Hardcore, and other self-imposed challenges for years, and now players finally have an officially supported world with its own set of rules.

These are entirely new worlds, which means a brand-new economy on top of the fact that every character only has one life. If you meet your end, that’s it. Everything you’ve worked for is lost unless you choose to transfer your character to a standard world. Of course, Death always welcomes new challengers, and there’s no shortage of opportunities for glory.

The worlds are officially open today! Are you going to dive in and see just how long you can last?
