soo true. I remember back in 2007 doing a clue in the wildy and I did the brainy thing, I took a few of my multi pking buddies and we went and done my clue. I say if you are scared to enter the wildy to do a clue take some friends and quit you're whining boohoo its not safe for those trying to do clues get over it. I didnt see you crying over clues back in 2007 when it was dangerous in the wildy so why cry about it now?

FOR THOSE WHO WERE SCAMMED OR DO CLUE SCROLLS OR ANYONE AGAINST THE UPDATE READ THIS: If pking is placed on every world, then you must only bring what is necessary. I was here before the wilderness update. Going into the wildy was dangerous but fun. Revanants are far more dangerous than pkers, (if not, close) They are over-powered in so many ways.
To scam victims: wise up, learn what to do when someone makes an offer! this is runescape, the middle ages, Man has yet to really set up a stable trade system! Not only that but some things in this game should be perilous and dangerous! I think that runescape lost the sense of community when the trade limits and wilderness were removed-especially the free trade. Players traded together and did things themselves mostly. WE ran the markets and decided a decent price for the items-not jagex. WE never had a ceiling price nor a stock market that turned merchants into runescape stock brokers who manipulated that system. there was a eeconomic "Triangle" at that time. You had PKers, Merchants (who bought & sold to other players) and those who mined, fletched, runcrafted etc. Even though it hasn't changed, none were dependant on the Grand Exchange and the limits that were set by players were decent for the price offered.
If the wilderness and free trade return, for those of you who are unfamiliar with such an environment, some advice: If you get scammed, that is your fault, report the issue and learn from your mistake. If you go out into the wildy, wear monk robes or cheap armor or if ur a mem, wear initiate or proselyte armour for protection and decent food. if the wilderness is far more dangerous because of pkers, level 3 clue scroll items will be far more valuable due to the risk involved obtaining them.
mini-gamers: I'm sure jagex will have found a way to relocate FoG and stealing creation to far more safer location.
This update will improve the game not hurt it. trust me this will make the game worlds better in so many ways.

I totaly agree dave I find that back in 2007 when free trade and the wilderness were actualy related to paying 100% attention to what you were doing in the wilderness and when trading incase someone tryed to be an idiot and switch items at the last min and what not. Yes if you get scammed report it and if you have a clue take some friends and use low costing items and good food its not rocket science to survive long enough to do a clue.

I honestly would not like to bring back unbalanced trade. There have been many players in the past that have been scammed out of their money and armor and cant do anything about it. I got scammed in the past and I couldnt do anything about it. When I realized i got scammed I thought to myself "man i feel dumb, I gave away all my money and now I can't do anything about it except report them but even that will not do much" I mean really if they bring back free trade then all the problems that Jagex has been trying to fix will come back bigger and badder then ever. Gold Farming, and Scammming, two of the biggest problems in runescape will be back and even worse then before.
As for the Old Wilderness I rarely used it in the past and I rarely go into the wilderness now. So I dont care if that one comes back. I just hope that they relocate somethings like Clan Wars, and some quests if it comes back. Also we have PvP Worlds where you can fight other players all over Runescape. Also with the Old Wilderness back i dont think that some people will be able to make money off Green Dragons anymore because Pker's will probably be waiting for them. So those moneymakers will probably have to find a new and easy way to make money.
So I ask all of you to just think about it. Ask yourself's " Do I really want Old Runescape back"? If you do then go Vote that you want it back. If you dont then just boycott this poll. Honestly I will just boycott this poll. I am perfectly happy with Runescape the way it is now.

To scammers/ complainers...
To be honest... although it is against the rules... the whole idea of scamming was fun to me. I mean, it teaches you to be street smart, learn from your mistakes, and as you evolve into an elite player and learn the tricks, you don't get scammed anymore. It's like being a freshman in high school.
If you're not smart enough to check both trade windows and THE FREAKING BLINKING RED LIGHT TELLING YOU THE TRADE HAS BEEN CHANGED you don't deserve to play runescape, because you're probably like 12. Seriously, don't be stupid, you won't get scammed.
Taking away free trade ruined the economy more than RWT anyway. There is so much inflation in Runescape. I think they should get rid of gravestones all together, but that's just me. 76kers bringing billions of GP into the game. The GE price manipulaters, everything is just a disaster.
We need players for our economy, and we need our players to actually interact and haggle prices again instead of going to a freaking database called the GE. That thing just needs to go.
I have been on and off of runescape since the updates. The only reason i get on is to do a few quests and holiday events. Those are the only things that are fun anymore. That's because Runescape is no longer a community. We will be a community again if they bring the old trade and wildy back, and runescape will have it's magic again.

I've taken the time to read many of the posts in this thread. I's strange that many of the forum mods are against this. I find it hard to believe that only 8% of the vote is for no. I am reading many people that are against this. Jagex should seperate free trade and the old wildy. There are many who like the free trade but not the old wildy. I have a feeling that this is going to bite Jagex in the rear end. I have a feeling that this might drive away many players that do not want this. If you want to make those pk's happy, give them worlds that have the old wilde but don't mess over those of us who do not want this. As for those who feel that if this change will bring back the bots and the scammers, I think you are right.

If you read the main page and topic related to the referendum the vote will be decided on the 14th of jan the updates will take a few days as its realy only digging out old data that is already there that just needs re implamented and then to move the mini games to a suitable location and so on after the vote if it is passed it will take what a week or so for the changes to be made and implamented into the game again then its a matter of updating the servers.

Its only 7% who don't want it back. That 7% are all scared noobs. That 7% obviously haven't played this game before they made this stupid change 3 years ago. Us 90% are ready. We're ready for what this game used to be. We're ready to bring it back! As for myself, I am for damn sure prepared to own my Edgeville wilderness like i did back in the day. This is definitely a perfect way to start off runescape in 2011.
