Thoughts on OSRS Fresh Start Worlds

[Vi X]

Hi Everyone, 

I'd love to hear some thoughts and opinions on the impact Fresh Start Worlds will have on the OSRS GP pricing and the economy in general. 

- Will OSRS GP value raise or fall? Why? 

- Will swapping main game gold for FS money / items be at popular as people say? 

- Will main game players be dumping their high end PVM equipment and resources to afford more items in FS Worlds?

- When FS World 6 month term ends, what do you think the impacts will be on the main game OSRS Economy? 

Thanks,

I've been thinking so hard about how the new worlds are gonna affect the black market. 
Guaranteed theres gonna be bot farms, gold farms etc right away.

I think its only going to raise the market value of OSRS GP short term, when the 6 months is up it'll go back to normal im sure.

My opinions

- Slim to none impact on gold prices

- Might be a little bit, but it will be kinda situational. Maybe some rich osrs pleb would like to swap 1b osrs to 10m fresh world just to buy cool items and flex or have head start or whatever. But not much swapping in general. Its not deadman mode where you have chance to win real cash. In general, not enough incentive.

- This is answered by previous. Whats the point of selling tbow in osrs to buy a whip in fresh world just to have head start and MAYBE get a tbow in the end that gets transwered back to osrs.

- Impact will be small. Imagine pool of 100 people that do raids on maxed accoounts. They get a tbow every 7.7 hours. Lets say they are hardcores and raid for 7.7h a day. They introduce 1 tbow into eco everyday. Now if those guys move to Fresh Start Worlds they will have to speed run for couple months to get to raids, then still need time to upgrade gear to get their raids to max efficiency and in general they will probably never reach the same efficiency as in main game due to lack of skills and gear. So in conclusion, this comes to opportunity cost, they would stop getting tbows in main game, to get tbows in fresh start world at slower rate. In the end they will introduce less tbows to osrs eco.

Why do that when you can up membership prices and get a bunch of people to play a worse version of leagues with normal exp rates minimal benefits that eventually just gets added back to the normal game while cashing in on people's nostalgia for the original game.

And then in rs3 cashing in on people paying for mtx.

I think we will see price of stuff in market go in after fresh start is over.
