My personal opinion, is for it to be brought back, this is because many runescapers were brought up with both the old wilderness, and free trade, that's how the original Runescape was, for all those people i'm pretty sure they prefered them days to now days. Exactly why so many quit when it all changed, but i personally think the people complaining getting a nosebleed over the whole thing changing back, is because they were brought up playing runescape with trade limit and bounty hunter or got scammed/lured maybe? I think if Runescape was original, where all the players were free, not limited etc, Majority of the players who quit would come back and new players would stay for longer instead of playing for short periods of time then quitting, i think it would do Jagex a massive favour, yes scamming, botting, rwt will increase or atleast still be around, but that's where players have to use their own brains instead of Jagex using their brains for them...Before you accept a trade, double check exactly what is in that trade, not sure about something ask someone before finishing off the deal. Worried someone is luring you? Don't follow them...Simple. Use your brain...For the botting, Jagex are always thinking of ways to stop these, always updating ways to decrease this, even with trade limit, and new wildy etc it was full of botters, so it doesn't matter if they change the wildy back and add free trade back because either way...there's botters? Just Jagex are always trying to stop it...but it's not easy? With rwt, well that's the same...Jagex can reduce this, may take alot but record players movements or something idk, that might not be possible, but it's an examples of stopping rwt/botting. I just think Runescape should be Runescape back in the day, without limiting all the players it's like being on a leash, but this is my view/opinion, I'm sure Jagex can sort things out (:

At first the vote was a petition. Over 1,.6m names got on it. Now is phase 2, the referendem. 1.1mil have signed in and voted (yes, no, or i dont care). It’s all over the main page. Nobody accidently votes yes in the referendem!

I agree, Neo. I've played for about six years now, and when Jagex took away free trade and wildy, I basically stopped playing for about half a year. I came back and eventually got used to the controlled economy, but it was never the same.
As for everyone complaining about getting scammed, grow up. If you're gullible enough to be scammed, you probably shouldn't be playing in the first place.
When I first started, I was young, and got scammed once. This taught me how to avoid such things in real life. Better to learn from being scammed in a game then to learn from being scammed in real life.

Hello everyone that are against it! I've been playing RuneScape in so many years that I have made it found boring, even Super Mario on a Nintendo 64 would be funnier!
I was PKing alot as a low level in old wildy that was fun, earning money. Today it's full of Merchanting clans, that no fun prices are sick! I MEAN IT! Dharok * for an example* was less than 1 mil! Today its to much. Hybrids in PKing risk 10Millions+ *alot of them* and are gaining real bad loots from PKing, and that crap. Old time was better even if RWT was bad. It was a fun game and thats the way it should be! Trading was also the funniest things, friends that you knew for years on birthday and holidays you could give presents and funny items. The items cost such as Potions in herblore was a good way to make money and this time you earn nothing more than the pots. No money gained just loss.
I've alot MORE MORE to tell. But I'm just a rigular Swedish veteran player on RuneScape so I'm not gonna do more than voting! :@
Trade never mind
Get PK back!

I personally do NOT want the wildy back..Personally, i've mixed feelings about this.Being adult player, I am a skiller.I was sick of getting pked just to play RS.
Nothing personal if the people that want the wildy back should have it.But, i think RS should leave worlds, where the skillers of RS can play also.
There are many different kinds of players on RS.Myself been playing for almost 9 years and would like to continue playing without hassle of the wildy and kids pking me.
I was never down with blocking free trade or a trade limit.Some of us players love the holidays and birthdays, we give gifts to each others.I loved doing that with my close friends here.But as many have stated the scammers will run rapid on rs once again.
You can see the pro's and con's in this.Being a skiller only, if i have to put up with kid pkers again.I might have to be moving on from RS.Before RS makes a change,they should not just look at one side as they did, when they force change in the first time,but all sides.Give the pker and non-pkers and skillers each worlds to play in.

I personally think accounts created after 10 december 2007 (Dead of old runescape) shouldn't even vote, alot of them are new generation losers. I know there are new players who would like to taste old runescape but it looks like alot of new players vote against it. This is an outrage how can you vote no for something you didn't participate in. People who do this is who I call new generation losers.
For the scamming part, when I played back in the day I've lost everything I had twice, I got scammed and hacked. But I always came back stronger. That was the good thing about it, you learned people can't be trusted. Just like in the real world, people will rob you whenever they have the chance. Runescape was actually more educating, you learned how to sell and buy, how to make your money. When you got scammed you came back stronger and made sure it wouldn't happen again.
For the botting and RWT part, it is an almost inevitable part of mmorpg (if you give your players a certain freedom), every mmorpg's has to deal with it (even top mmor** World of Warcraft which I play now) and hell yeah I can live with the botters and rwt (if you're so stupid to buy money in a digital game for real money than it is your problem) but I can't live with how you took good old wildy away.
New players never felt the thrill of the wildy, knowing you're risking everything. It was a feeling no other game ever gave me. That is what runescape made runescape, that is what most people made money for, trained for, played for,... and I feel sorry that alot of the old pkers stopped so that they can't bring out their vote (it would be 99% against 1% but okay).
I say bring back old wilderness and free trade! Jagex shouldn't listen to new generation people who don't know what they're talking about.
Oh yeah one more thing, people complaining about getting pked, if you don't like the stress of the old wildy just stay out. The wilderness is supposed to be dangerous, you don't have to go in.
