Ironically, After Removing So Much FOMO Content In The Game, Jagex Created The Biggest FOMO Threat RS3 Has Ever Seen With Reignited.
For the people who aren't RS3 veterans - maybe this helps to explain why we feel we will be forced (outside of dwindling player counts in the OG worlds) to make Reignited characters when the time comes. It is a level of FOMO like none other to want to be a part of a growing playerbase (assuming Reignited works) but knowing you have to ditch your veteran character to access it. Even just the idea that most new players will be funneled into Reignited means we will miss out on so much engagement with players.
This same FOMO or MO in this case is what is pushing players to support Reignited because they all missed out on progressing along with the current veteran playerbase because they either quit at EOC to play OSRS or just simply don't want to feel 'behind' in an MMO. Like so many have already said, every single MMO you start playing will give you that feeling and your first thoughts are never about the economy.
There is FOMO on both sides of the aisle but RS3 veterans will feel it more than any timed event, dailyscape or aura timer could ever impose.
