a mix from 2004 to 2007 early RS content, with a touch of RS3
Eventhough we try to keep things 1:1 with OSRS, not exactly, because we want to use the best of both worlds to create a unique experience, see agility courses for example
No, alpha characters will be deleted later. Alpha is a test phase
Yes, worlds are implemented using WOW “layer” system. You can hop world by changing layer
Yes, but not for alpha
Yes, items dropped will appear to other players after 2 minutes
Bonfire implementation from RS3 (and recently OSRS)
It's done through a pickpocket spell that you cast on NPCs, it uses the same stun calculations as OSRS. Stealing from stalls is also implemented with nearby guards getting aggressive
Yes, you can swap gear however there will be a limitation on how much gear you can change every X amount of time
prayer switching and toggling triggers a 0.6sec global cooldown (GCD), prayer flicking is technically possible if timed correctly with damage calculations. However, each time you cast it automatically takes away the prayer so essentially leading prayer flicking to be worse then just keeping the prayers up.
Yes, every free to play quest is in the game + druidic ritual to unlock herblore
Yes, some beginner clue scrolls are in the game, including anagram and locations clue scrolls
Addons will be disabled except the ones that will be downloaded with the patches
