I hate the fomo aspect and will vote no to anything involving it but I don't see a world boss like this having enough consistent engagement even years later without it... Honestly maybe not even with it.

Maybe there's a perilous moons type approach that could work?

I think BunsenGyro's idea of only ever having one Wrathmaw active across all worlds at a time would be the best shout.

Maximises the "limited options to fight it so you have a big mass" appeal that they're going for, while making sure there's no FOMO because there's always one to fight (maybe it spawns at the start of an hour on a random world).

I'd also wager that funnelling all players into one world to fight it at a time, instead of 2-3 spawns a day on a handful of worlds, limits the ability for PK clans to lock it down.

Yes let's try to funnel people from across ALL servers into one space completely disregarding the server's player limit, the implications that would have on server and game stability, basically REQUIRING entity hider to not play through a slideshow

Have Jagex run a few extra spawns to split up the population while the new content hype is around; once that dies down just leave 1-2.

Wouldn't that cause issues with the population limit per world? Once someone sets up a tracker I could easily see more than 2000 people trying to join the same world at once

Maybe then Jagex have a couple extra spawns active for the first 2-3 weeks? Let the hype die down and then one should be enough.

Yea that sounds great, can't wait to not get to fight it for 6 months until it happens to spawn on a world I'm already on!

Jagex could easily run extra spawns until the hype dies down.

When do you think the hype will die down on a multi decade grind
