Yesterday saw the launch of Leagues V, our annual competitive event in Old School RuneScape. Leagues puts a complete twist on the game meta with its own unique ruleset, fundamentally changing the gameplay experience. Played on a new game world, everyone starts afresh. The world is broken up into regions with most locked from the start. Players are able to unlock new ones by completing tasks and accumulating league points. Players can then spend these points on powerful relics that affect skilling, combat, or provide extra utility. 🎯 Which region will you unlock first? Which relics will I spend my points on? DECISIONS DECISIONS :) Net Result: Yesterday saw our highest ever CCU for Old School RuneScape with over 216,000 players online. 11 years since launch. 🚀 Congrats to the whole Jagex team and thank you to our wonderful community - we hope you enjoy it. ✨ ✨ ✨
