    The overdue hardcore mode has been released! Alongside this, a Pest Control minigame has been added, moving most of the untradable shop items over. Finally, a large number of changes and bug fixes have been made.



    Hardcore Mode

    For those of you not aware, hardcore mode is a mode that mixes aspects of both normal mode and ironman mode into one. Lower XP, smaller drop and XP boosts, short quests for items, heavily reduced shops, and no grand exchange are many of these differences. If you have an ironman account, you're already familiar with all the differences between that mode and normal mode and should expect to see nearly identical differences.

    One other significant factor is trading: while you can trade other players, those players must also be hardcore. This game mode is essentially a spin on the current normal mode and it's economy: you can continue playing the normal mode for the easier XP, money making, and drops, or you can create a hardcore account and take on the increased difficulty it brings.



    Pest Control

    While this isn't identical to OSRS, it shares many similarities. There is one endless game that can be joined and left at any time, allowing you to collect points for however long you'd like. It's set up in a way that allows you to gain points without needing other players, although other players will improve the rate at which you gain points.

    It's pretty straightforward; The void knight and portals both have respawn times of 5 minutes and give point boosts depending on their state. As long as the void knight is alive, you'll receive a 10% boost in points. Likewise, for each portal destroyed, another 10% boost is given to any points you receive. Points are given for the damage you inflict as you inflict it, and will also be given for dealing damage to portals.
