@Ducos Pure
Nice comment... again :P
Now I shall add my two cents.
I started playing in Early 2006 after I was convinced to "try" runescape out by my older cousin who played since classic. I quickly fell in love with the game but played on and off and wasted time watching "how to make 1mil an hour" guides. One day it was I in my noobish (no offence) d med helm (500k) Granite Plate (400k?) Dragon Skirt (600k) Obisidian Cape (250k) Strength Amulet (10k) and D Long (100k). I was lured into the wildreness without knowing the troubles that lurked there and was bound. I died and lost all my stuff (because he told me to attack him). I learned from the mistake.
The wilderness was a dangerous place, sure people got scammed there but you LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. I faintly remember the Old Wildy now but what I do remember is that it was what made Runescape different from the other games (besides the fact of endless play and new content weekly)
I was sitting at about 600k December 28, 2007. The biggest highlight of my Runescape career took place. I went to the newly instated Grand Exchance and bought 600k worth of flax at 42 gp a piece and sold it to a guy for 110 gp a piece. I quickly made 2 million coins and bought a Dharok's Set at max price. :D I used my Dharok's set to stake in Duel arena and won a Santa (worth 10m at the time).
I would LOOOVE to see Free Trade Re-Instated as it would also bring back Duel Arena Staking which was the second most amazing thing about Runescape.
__________________Overview______________
Sure the Reinstating the Wilderness has its ups and downs. RWT will likely come back into full swing, although I doubt any of you have seen the Green Dragons in Chaos Tunnels lately. Hopefully Jagex will focus on making NPC's and Random events more difficult for Macroers. I dont intend to encourage rule breaking but imagine the price of Dragon Bones or pure essence without all these bots? 10k a dragon bone? NO THANKS. (continued)

Say the bots do come back? Well at worst Jagex will have a lot of banning to do. Maybe 99 prayer wont be so expensive then?
Free trade will do away with the current shadiest part of runescape "Merchanting Clans". I would also love to see the dangerous Random Events re instated :D So as the final hours wind down and we draw closer to the cutoff date, look forward to a positive years.
_____Bots and You_____
Jagex will combat the bots. You can do all you can by Bot Trapping.
Cannons infront of the door a Aurby normally stops auto miners. Dropping Nature runes in a different room close the the chaos tunnel dragons will normally lead the bots off track :P Also Make sure you "Report Abuse" any Macros. All boting sites you may come across should be reported to Jagex.


Thanks, Take care and Best of luck in 2011. I know it will be a good year :D

@kilik2006
Thats what we like to hear! :P I completely agree with you, but there is one thing i'm worried about, is there room on Gielinor for all the Activities in the wilderness? If so, where?
Guthix never really died. He lives on in all of us.

The wilderness and free-trade should return. They added a vibe to the game that would be (is currently) bland without the aforementioned aspects.
With the trade limit I feel restricted in what I can do with (keyword) my money. Can I no longer outbid someone else for an item I need desperately? Can I no longer help newbies out? Can I no longer work my money around to try for profit? Can I no longe- you get the point, surely.
I've been playing since ~2002, and I can assure you the two aspects of the game need to be reintroduced. The game is too bland without them, even if with them comes some supposed bad sides (RWT? (even though I find nothing wrong with it myself, this being a game and all)) but the positives outweigh the negatives in this instance; the populous want it back, so bring it back. Endof.

Exactly my point ^^
I loved the Danger in Runescape. Someone could die and lose full Verac. You could be the lucky guy to grab the verac!
I also enjoyed people who had drop paries in Falador west bank!
Oh the Joy of Old Runescape :D
