Ive been an RS player since 2003, and have seen both sides to this update. I would say that I have enough experience in this game to give a valid opinion on the subject.
I see many people posting and arguing about this referendum, when in some cases they werent even around or old enough to fully comprehend the pros and cons of the old system. That being said, everyone is still intitled to an opinion, but arguments would have more grounds with experience to back it up. Anyways, moving on to what I see as the pros and cons of either side.
***Wildy***
I was never a pker, and have had no great in interest in the wild. Therefore this part doesnt necessarly affect me as an individual. However I have friends who pk, and have even watched their fights from time to time. And from that I can say that comparing wildy systems, I belive the old one would be better. That is if the barrier is kept, I think the only problem in my books would be luring, drops were way better in the past, as they were what the kill was carrying.
Other then that the D&Ds and such currently in the wild Im sure are on Jagex list of adjustments that will be made, Im not too worried about that.
***Free Trade***
I find this to be the bigger and more important topic of the 2. This affects everyone, pkers, skillers and all. The economy is the center of the game and something as drastic as bringing this update back may cause positive changes, or undesired ones (good or bad im not here to judge). I find teh GE to be a great system, I remember how annoying it was to try and sell some items you did not have in bulk...took forever. The GE is simple, fast and you can find anything your looking for very quickly. One problem with the current system is that its easy to manipulate, as seen by the countless merch clans. On top of that the current limits in trade are very annoying when you want to cut certain players deals, when either selling in bulk, or to a friend.

XzarDragon has it right: this was a terribly flawed poll. I don't believe that it is representative of the majority of paying RS players.
I would like to see things stay as they are. I was scammed when I was a new player and prefer the GE. Those who want to trade outside of the GE can still do so within reasonable limits.
(Unless you're trying to scam....)
I like the wild the way it is. There are PvP worlds already--duplicate the old wild in those worlds, allowing those who fetishize PKing to have at it. Most of us work too hard and play frequently enough to not want to stake our armor and weapons for the thrill of it all.
I have no fond memories of the old wild; nor do I enjoy killing others less strong and taking their things. (Although I must admit I kinda' liked when higher lvl players died in mundane regular play and I picked up their things :) )
No matter what the Wildy people say, most are upset and probably even cry when they lose a bundle Pking. It's their choice, but don't get me involved. I'm happy with RS as it is. CONTACTED IN GAME BY NON-STARRED "MOD"

I've very recently begun playing RS again after a few years. Today during game play, a message appeared on my screen (not in box) from someone asking me a question as if to sell me or give me something.

Free Trade = Fun
Old Wildy = Fun
100% of the 2001-2007 players voted yes
and then 80% of the new players 2008-2011 voted yes
20% no / i dont mind
and there are half old and half new players of the amount of people that play nowadays
that is why its at 90% yes
---------------------------------------------------------
If they knew what they were voting for it would be 110% yes because the system wouldnt be able to cope with everyone voting yes and bugg up
---------------------------------------------------------
we dont need till 14th Jan to see the 90% yes stay at 90%
you know you want to bring it back as a susprise! So go to it now :p (if its ready)

Cannibal On - if your scammed when its free trade its your fault cause if it comes back there will be an average price in trade windows and G.E
pay attention when you trade, thats what the flashing red bar and price check is for, its extremely hard to get scammed now
i played from 2005-2011 and never got scammed once, reason why? i looked at second trade screen for a few seconds (that is what its made for) so stop QQ, people like you made the game nooby
all these noob updates to help noobs like you not to die or get scammed

YOU CANT GET SCAMMED NO MORE WITH THE FLASHING RED BAR IN TRADE WINDOW AND THE PRICE CHECK! SO DONT BE NOOB AND SAYING THATS UR REASON U DONT WANT IT BACK!

and wildy stuff is relocated and ur not going to walk in and get 500 people attacking you....
You can get lured with the WILDY BOARDER! unless you think WOW ITS A WILDY! IM GOING TO GO IN THERE AND NOT DIE! ohh oopsy!


ALL VOTE YES
All Vote Yes!!!

I'm sort of a new player (10 months) and have only heard about the wildy in the old days. I like the game how it is now, and that’s why I’m member, but I seriously think to jump to something else when Runescape brings back the wildy and free trade.
You know there are still lots of bots working their way true RS. A game should be fun, and it should be possible to visit every area without been killed by other players.
Now you can choose. When you change, I have in fact limited area’s… It's all about being

Cannibal On
PVP worlds and Bounty worlds are no way near old wilderness
Theres no fun
people waiting for 100% ep & run if u attack
rubbish loots (You will never break Even)
not many people
and its 20+
ages to find people your level



old wildy./..

Back then there were level 3's training there, seriously fun it was
getting some team and killing others :p
much fun, always loads of your levels in any world you go
could play it all day and get like 3-30 combat without being bored, and you could break even if you were half good

As i have posted before.
Its so Very simple Just Vote yes, And runescape will be runescape once again.
Old runescape is 110% than watever it is now and they have lost over 350k players by making it like this and a good community only way to make the game good again is restoring it.
