I do not frequently make my voice heard on the forums. But this is an exceptional time.
Pkers can have their go at pvp worlds! I like killing monsters, I like to play with friends in group events, I like to chat with friends in clan.
"Old Wildy" would only be a nuisance, revenants make wildy challenging but still worthwile going to.
Look at the number of players that have joined rs after the change and what the retention stats are of those. If that is good enough for your business then keep it the way it is.
Unlimited trade, for whom is that a problem? Giveaway for friends? Then up the limit even more for people that have been friends for years..... Or if it is a one time gift, initiate the trade and then confirm it by login ******** more than once, send an e-mail to the registred e-mail account with a key to enter or something. Do not open up for people that want to scam the very young players.
This is really a change that is not necessary.
If it is not broken, why try to fix it!

Bad things come to those who don't read clearly!!!
I thought the vote on Free Trade & bringing back old wildy was a democratic vote system where you chose to either vote for what was, or what is...BUT when I voted I realized I had just voted for bringing the old wildy back (ffs)...OMG! NOOOOOOOO!!!
I don't want it back!
I WANT TO TAKE MY VOTE BACK!!!....Can I?
SUGGESTION: The voting system on this issue should include the ability to vote either for or against (so that more ppl like me don't make the same stupid mistake :[

I think only some worlds should be old wildy pking worlds because if im doing a clue scroll in the wilderness it will be nearly impossible to do the clue without being pked.
If only some worlds are old style wilderness pking worlds then i would be happy.

This is hard to answer yes or no about. The updates were for the best, in order to prevent real world trading and Macroing. To be honest, it hasn't gotten any better, especially since you've been giving stat swipes instead of permanent bans now. Whatever happened to fairness in this game?
Yes, I'd love to see these back, 2007 made Runescape a great game. I vote yes, but you guys will have to crack down harder on botters and gold farmers. This means permanent bans, only. No more stat swipes as I personally don't consider that a punishment.

i personally think that u should make a new island that has a bank and a perimeter around the outskirts and make it the new wildy and make it have a really cool landscape and forts and ruins.... make it accessible to f2p obviously and uh maybe have a boat to go to it like the one for dungeoneering... it would be too much of a pain to have it back in the origional place because of the minigames put there...and the revs.. ^_^

The old wilderness. Go there, even at my level (120) and I die. At least against NPC's I stand a chance of being able to search for clue-scrolls **********. Sure, a certain level of gameplay has been lost, but a hell of a lot more has opened up since it has been gone. I could not see brawling gloves (for example) existing if the old wildy had not been removed. Equally, as its been said, minigames like the beacon fires would be nigh on impossible. Also, PKers would not be guaranteed the rewards that they can now achieve after a few hours of tactical gameplay (gathering drop potential and whatnot).
The only thing I miss is unbalanced/free trade. Sure I got scammed once or twice...but mainly down to lack of some of the things we have now, like the indicator when cash amounts change (the exclamation mark thingy) characters not being clear to read etc - the old 1000k changed to 10008gp trick being one that I fell for. Recently I've been feeling the pinch of not being able to trade freestuff to a friend who I've been gaming with elsewhere for some years to get him started.
However, for the majority, the loss of the wilderness has resulted in gain for the vast majority of the game, including PvP from what I can see. I doubt there would have been a perceived need for clan wars had the old wilderness stayed.
So I think the old wilderness should stay gone. Free trade...well, its a toss up, but I think that the more limited trade is an advantage for keeping the greater majority of the botters and hackers away which makes our ingame exploits worth more!
...Unfortunately I made the mistake of NOT reading the voting page properly...and voted thinking I would get the option to vote against...so I voted (anonymously) then realised that I'd voted for the one thing I don't want to ever see again (old wildy!!). Would it be possible for some kind of Jagex employee to please (please please.....etc) remove my name from the list of folks who've voted FOR the old wildy.
I'm glad its gone!

im sure there are some that have sugested this but, wilderness pking and free trading should be on certain worlds just like every world on runescape. this could be a big thing. runescape would please old runescapers and even bring back the ones lost before the fight against bots and real world trading. this update could still fight against real world trading, bots and scaming and still please everyone.
