I personally voted Yes for this. I joined wayyyy back in 2001... I remember when Asgarnia was ocean.
I remember when accounts were either PK or non-PK and it was PK *everywhere* for PK accounts. No safe words (We didn't have multiple worlds then)
I was one of many who voted Yes in the original poll that led to the Wilderness being created in the first place (Yes, a poll like this one lead to the creation of the Wilderness.)
I would just like to say to all of those who are equating the Wilderness with scamming:
We have the Wilderness Ditch and the Doomsayer warning popup. All the signs warning of sudden death, the skeletons, scorched earth, in addition to these two things...
Anyone who is afraid of getting scammed in the Wild shouldn't be turning off the warning popup for going into the Wild...And should know sharp pointy objects wielded by cheerful people who want to cheerfully chop you up are there too...

There's 130,000 players online and half of those are bots. Bringing Back the Wilderness will bring a lot of players back (like myself haven't played since 2007) back. But The thing is that jagex is trying to rebuilt on something they ****** up before. But I'm not sure Alot of these old players will stay. I've been trying to get used to the new runescpe and its very diffrent. Voted yes But not sure I will stay

. Taught I'd put in how a old player feels about all this! Good idea to let the players decide tho!

I'd love to go back to the good ol' days of Runescape. I quit for a long time because of that update to remove free trade and wildy. The only reason I came back again was because my friend told me about this...
People are talking about how the old wildy will bring back more scamming and luring and it probably will. But back then, you were just stupid for falling for all those tricks, I mean there are so many signs NOT to go there, yet people were dumb enough to jump over that ditch. Those people were just called noobs

"Why the hell?
Jagex =.=
STOP TRYING TO FIX THINGS THAT AIN'T BROKEN.
The wilderness and trading limit is FINE.
STOP TRYING TO FIX THINGS THAT AIN'T BROKEN.
STOP TRYING TO FIX THINGS THAT AIN'T BROKEN.
STOP TRYING TO FIX THINGS THAT AIN'T BROKEN.
STOP TRYING TO FIX THINGS THAT AIN'T BROKEN. "
They were saying that in 2007 too, I personally voted yes.
PKing? Right now it's a joke. The good PKers get crappy drops as rewards for strings of kills and the bad PKers get insane drops for dying 15+ times with a 300k risk. It's just absurd.
Free Trade? This one is debatable in my opinion, it has improved a lot since it was first implemented as a measly 3k. But it's never really been brought back to enable you to have all the freedom that a trading-based game economy should let you have.

I voted yes I mainly want to have free trade back and as for wildy I dont care since im like the only person in the world that doesnt run when about to die and when im about to wreck someone they run, heal, and change worlds so I would like it back but at the same time I dont really care that much about it AND as for FREE TRADE and RWT IF "YOU" are stupid enough to give your information to those websites IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT so stop complaining about it when IT IS SOO simple to AVOID just dont DO IT how hard can it be and if it becomes a problem again BAN the people that give their information out for items or gold. HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO SIMPLY AVOID THE RWT WEBSITE????

i quit in 2007 when this update ruined runescape initially. they have tried numerous ways to match the old runescape (bounty crater, pvp, new bh) all of which fail. EP is a fail of an idea. if u get the full rune kill u shouldnt get a addy scim. now that it is back more and more people will start playing again. rwt n luring only affect idiots, if ur smart about it you have nothing to worry about
and @watimcookin.
stop saying dont fix things that aint broken. because forst of all the wilderness was never broken and they "fixed" that. RWT will always be here whether you like it or not. I vote yes 1000000 times. 92% want it back.
everyone just man up and dont go to wildy if u dont wanna die. simple as that. as for people complaining about luring, it is part of the game and a rather fun part when your on the good end of it. it always ****** me off when you couldnt share a kill in multi. now we can. YAY FOR NEW RUNESCAPE!!!!!!!!!

I think decisions like these should come back slowly. Not just do it all at once so players can voice their opinions about the small changes. I do not care for the old wilderness ,but I like the idea of unrestricted trade. I have a few suggestions about the trade though. I think that the suggested price should remain so a young player would know if they are being scammed. I remember when i first started playing I didn't know what items were worth ,and I ended up selling a 200k item for 30k and other similar incidents. I think that unrestricted trade is a great idea ,but I would be happier if the suggested prices remained to keep young players safe. As for the wilderness I think that maybe trading pvp worlds for wilderness worlds would be good plus adding more worlds with the wilderness. But these are just suggestions that I have heard that I personally really liked.

I voted yes because all i did back then was PK and thats how i earn my money, and community dropped because they all possibly had the same reason as me and that was to kill people and take their loot for what they got.
Since Jagex took it away in 2007 me and others just quit cause there nothing else to do, and with the new pking system its just a slap in our faces, we kill them and we get pretty much nothing, we cant make profit from pking with the new pking system. On the other hand i'm aware botting and RWT was a HUGE problem back in the days but cant u just sue the company thats selling Jagex properties? I'm sure you can somehow.
Boycotting because Jagex gonna bring back the old RS? the old system made what Runescape was if ya gonna boycot why dont ya also boycot to bring RS Classic back at the same time? since i'm sure some people perfer that version over the current RS.
in my eye all i see is little kids whinning over things people just to dam hard for them and need Jagex to hold their hands to make things easier. I say suck it up and be a man if its too hard for you go back and play Tetris, pac-man, or space invaders and if thats still too hard for you go play pong.

I was personally one of the people that always used to pk, absolutely loved it and as anti-nerd as I can sound - it really upset me when the update came out on 10/12/2007.
I raged on the forums for as long as I can remember and have been raging and raging for years at it coming back. I even quit for a year and I only came back about 3 months ago
But you have to think about this from an UnHatredForJagex'sFailUpdates point of view...The new pvp system isn't bad FOR ME. I don't know how it works tbh, I don't know if it's combat level or KO's ( Cause it's certainly not EP ) but something in this game determines your drops, in a way, im gonna miss this PVP? Never thought i'd say that. I mean apart from when im bridding, and fighting other brids in decent gear...I won't make as much money pking as I do now. All I gotta do is risk 250k rune in edge, with a scim/claws or an AGS and I can get loot upto 15 odd mil. Which tbh im pretty happy about...
However, I have a friend in real life who has a fairly low level pure, he can kill a dude with 100% ep over and over again and he literally NEVER gets anything, he's had like 200k loot tops? Which - for want of a better word - ... sucks?
I do raise my hat to jagex for how they've done this PVP system and they've definitely kept out RWT'ing in this sector. The pvp now isn't terrible. It works if you're high enough combat and good enough to get that kill. For lowers levels...dunno what to tell you X_X...
As for the free trade, in all honesty i'm not gonna beat around the bush, I want this back so I can give + take as much frmo a certain person as I want. This will definitely revolutionise godwars as you can duo in a non L's world + split drop in trade like the good ol' days.
Furthermore, staking is the one i'm most happiest about. I definitely cannot wait for staking to come back, i made my first ever 10-20-30-40-50m - and so on - there. Honestly can't wait, i've been power training dun to get rapier for it <3
Thanks 4 reading :3

Yes, I really look forward to seeing the old wildy back and trade limits removed and I can also see why the people who don't want that to happen vote no. It was a huge problem and I do remember the mass amounts of level 3 noobs botting yews -.- I think that there should be some sort of cap put in where you have to have a certain combat level along with the woodcutting level/skill level so that less botters can bot as easy an they used to.
Also I do have a question, why don't you hire a group of people for your company that deals with just the legal issues such as RWT that hunts down websites that sell jagex property to other people and sue them etc. I can see that it might take quite a while for a sue to follow through but still wouldn't this help quite a bit?
I do think the option to vote on this is a good thing, yet maybe a wider range of options such as keeping trade limit and bringing back wildy etc. Thank you!
