yes yes yes! finally, after years and years of complaining and rioting we can finally have the old runescape back, bringing this back will be a lot more members back as you no alot of people quit after they took it away and anyone whos unsure of what it was like in the old day trust me, it was awesome. The exitement of mage arena pking, using skill to smite out someones main weapon, is just a few examples of what makes a game exiting as it used to be. My opinion is that over the last few years the game has became too 'user friendly' alot of people had to learn and grow the hard through being scammed, lured and many other ways. although this is a horrible feeling when it happens to you it is equally exiting when you find someone wondering around the wilderness with more than they should be wearing! the feeling is great just what runecape needs back, thank you jagex you are not making a mistake you are simply bringing back the thrill that this game used to give to many <3 x

I joined Runescape in 2002, it was my first MMO. Although it's very low-tech compared to pretty much every other MMO thats out right now, there isn't anything quite like it. I quit back in January 2008 after the wilderness was taken out and trade was (in my opinion) ruined. (I don't know about you but a 300k Dragon sq. sounds way wrong when you consider the right half costs 750k, the left half never drops, and you need 60 smithing or someone with 60 smithing to piece it together..) If this rollback goes through I am going to come back as a member, and play the helllllll out of this game once again.

Seems like membership cashflow is at the crux of the Jagex decision. I cannot begrudge them for making a living, especially in this hard economic time, but would also suggest that Jagex could "have their cake and eat it too."
I was surprised at how many very high level players that I have known for the 6 years I have played RS who dread (yes, dread) the return of unlimited trade. I was sorely disappointed when I learned many of the people I have closely played with would real-world-cash purchase Gold Points, weapons, and anything else necessary to level a skill quickly. This has nothing to do with 'fairness', but everything to do with integrity.
I have been lured, scammed, phished and fooled in my learning experience in RS. I hold myself fully responsible since all these were in direct disregard for Jagex's strong guidelines on id safety, revealing ****words, scamming, etc. But to make this the atmosphere for RS again, WITH NO CHOICE (if one voted no on the "proposal&quot ;) will drive many away. Again, the bottom line is the financial life of RS, and the ones fortunate enough to work for Jagex.
Why not offer worlds that have NONE of these changes? Jagex would benefit from this "icing on the cake."
My personal feelings are that PKing is for the ego based players who have a need to PK, reap the rewards and brag about it. I don't fault them, I just don't like doing it, or having it done. On the reverse side, I (and many friends) play for the fantasy, not the fear. Yeah, suit up and pot up as best you can to survive the Incorporeal Beast when you know you have to. But getting mugged because you're trying to spy a penguin in the wildy is no fun at all. There will be carnage at the lava maze! Oh, the humanity! :(
With Jagex's success at this game, many others have spawned that allow imagination and ingenuity to form your fantasy life. If I wanted a bloodbath, I'd play WOW or Black Ops.
PKers have such humanitarian instincts that I expect to get flamed for this.
Bot on!

TY, Aesa. Nice words to start my day knowing we're not alone wanting fantasy, not constant carnage.
Kudos to ya...
(Add me plz. I appreciate being around sanity and cooperation in RS, even if it's getting evermore rare ITRW. You made it worth typing all that... :D )
