These last 5 pages are slow going... I was worried about missing page 2000, but it seems that ill fall asleep before it reaches there.
Alas, id like to thank everyone for voting (especially the yes voters). I'm happy how the voting resulted and I'm looking forward to this update.

Not to go off topic here but why "plox"?
Shorthand terms, i.e. saying "lol" instead of "laugh out loud" that makes sense because it's a sensible abbreviation.
And gaming/pc/online talk like "newb" comes from "newbie" i.e. a new/unexperienced person, that makes sense.
But how the hell does "plox" make any sense?
I mean, "plz" stands for "please" actually makes more sense, less letters which is the original intent behind gaming/pc/online talk, as well as shorthand. But "plox" is 1 more letter than "plz".
Plus...
The "z" in "plz" spoken outloud, makes sense, it's closer to the "s" in "please" than compared to the "o" or the "*" in plox...
So out of sheer sincere curiousity and confusion, can someone explain this logic to me? Maybe there's something I'm not quite getting.

Why don't Jagex make everyone happy, and not just the 93% who voted yes/don't mind, but also the other 7% of voters?
~~
Let's give everyone a choice, like what mostly everybody wants with updates like new hp bar/new hitsplats/new combat sounds etc etc(i.e. give everyone a choice to turn off or turn on these settings)

Also, we can somewhat counter RWT even if free trade and old wilderness returns.
Make new worlds for PKing and free trade("Wildy+Trade" worlds), and leave all the current worlds as it is. [Think of the return of free trade and old wilderness as a "new server addition with updates"]
If this isn't a viable option, why not just convert a few worlds (around 10-15) to "Wildy+Trade" worlds?

RWT PREVENTION METHODS (SUGGESTIONS):
There is no entry requirement to enter "Wildy+Trade" worlds.
HOWEVER:
To enable free trade on these "Wildy+Trade" worlds, make a reasonable skill total requirement to be able to trade freely(500 skill total for members and 350 for free players is reasonable). For players without the skill total requirement to trade freely, they can have a 100k trade limit every 15 minutes.(THIS SHOULD ALSO APPLY TO STAKING IN DUEL ARENA)
To be able to jump over the Wilderness wall and PK you need to have a combat level of 20 and over.(lvl 20 combat is the requirement to log into Bounty and PVP worlds currently)
E.g
A level 19 player wants to PK. They have 340 total levels. They are able to log into a "Wildy+Trade" world, but is not permitted to jump over the wilderness wall to PK until they reach level 20 combat, and also not permitted to trade freely until a total level of 350 is reached, but is permitted to trade within a 100k trade limit every 15 minutes.
--
Other suggestions:
And also, why not have 2 PKing systems, the current EP system and also the old wilderness PKing system? Have EP system stay on existing PK worlds and old PK system on new/converted "Wildy+Trade" worlds. Some people do enjoy EP PKing as well.
