About this page

Old School RuneScape’s Hardcore Worlds opened on 4 November 2026: 32 members-only worlds, one life per character, a separate economy. The race board looks up a roster of the leading players on the official hiscores every 15 minutes and turns the readings into XP/h and an estimate to the maximum total level.
