Runescape was great before the wilderness and free trade were stripped away. I agree that RWT was a problem, and i expect it may become a problem in the future but still, this may bring back a few ex-players.
I'm excited about the wilderness returning.

I've been playing runescape ever since I was in highschool...before the yoyo. This game was so fun and exciting when we had free trade and the wild. Ever since it has been taken out, the game doesn't seem so enjoyable....most of the time I log in, stand around at a bank deciding what I want to do, then just end up logging out.
Prices are so outrageous that normal players can't even train their skills effectively, all because of the GE. The GE would be the greatest thing if it just didn't have the price caps and we could set our own price somehow.
I liked training prayer when dragon bones were 1-2k each...but now at over 5k for just a single bone, you can't really get anywhere unless you spend everything you have, and people without a lot of money can't train it at all. Sure you have the option of getting the bones yourself, but it would take ages just to get enough bones to begin to get anywhere with it.
I can't help friends when they want to train a skill but can't afford the supplies, I can no longer give birthday or christmas presents, or let my friends borrow my items because you can't lend over 1 item and then when you do you can't borrow one in return.
I can't wait until everything returns to normal, to the way it used to be....returns to the game that I know and love.
Without free trade and wildy, there is just something hugely 'bleh' about the game.
This is the only online game I play, but ever since taking away free trade and wildy, I play it out of habit rather than the love of the game.

let me tell you something runescape is of battles and skills.
i skill yes but i kill too monsters that is. i am a pvm type of person.

i also enjoy slaying. and btw if it was not for skillers you guys would drop dead like flies.
and you guys make me rich by buying my rocktails and my snake skin boots if you guys are rangers.

and you should really watch how you talk to people.
it is clear you do not have respect for yourself as well as others.
and to whom it may concern i am not a bot.
i bet there are a lot of pker bots too that voted.
and you can care less about anyone let alone yourself. khanbibi madskills admin

There is a lot of speculation and theories as to whether this is a good idea. Some should be tested before big changes are made.
1. Increase trade limits between players and widen the GE price limits 5-10 fold and see what happens. Will merchers get richer and prices become even more outragous or will prices reduce? Everyone hopes that free trade will stop merchers, i think the existence of a GE and very rich players will only make prices go higher. You cannot stop merching if the mechanism is still there, but life without the GE was pretty miserabvle for skillers trying to sell their wares and purchasers finding a seller.
We all have opinions and ideas on what would happen if free trade was allowed, test the waters and see. It does not need the wildy returned to do this.
2. Provide players with a bot alarm service - like report abuse. Currently when we see botters and report them, nothing seems to happen. 5-6 hours later they are still there botting away. Probably providing the money to merch and push all those prices up. If we see botters disappearing after they have been reported, we might believe that there is new botting detection software that works. At the moment bots rule and free trade will only make botting even more attractive to cheats and the goldfarming companies that make money off the back of runescape.
3. Think through all the rules and changes needed to put people killing back into the wildy and then publish a complete well thought out plan, because frankly the current one is not.
The story behind the beacon network requires it to be where it is - but how many skillers or questers could achieve all 14 beacons in the set time if they are set upon by groups of pkers camping by the beacons? The inferno adze and varrock a(4) armour will be unobtainable. Fun for pkers maybe, but the opposite for those of us who love completing diary tasks.
So much game content and fun has moved into the wildy. Its not just quests, are chaos tunnels in the wildy?

bringing old wilderness and old trading back with no limit of how much you can give and take and even the staking with no certain limit.. think about this, all those players playing in the private servers.. they wouldall come back to runescape and that is alot more buisness for you guys i mean ALOT MORE. only reason why those private servers are around is because you guys removed wild and the trading. so just somthin to think about. but in my opinion i would love the old wilderness and old trading back! :)

Read my 5 posts on page 519, they explain all the stuff you guys are going in circles about.
and as for my signature, yes i admit to being a pker, a lurer and such, but that does not change the fact that what i say is the truth, i have been lured and scammed in the past and i learnt from it, it made me a stronger player. I dont scam, i lure, there is a distinct difference, and if you must know the lures i did were on other pkers, not on unsuspecting noobs, so for example 10 of us would stand in multi combat and have one friend get skulled in fairly good armour and then have that person go and find a pker in lots of gear to chase and attack them. our friend would then drag that pker into multi combat and we would drop them and share loot, that is still luring but it is not luring in a bad sense, so before people like Phtarthic (pathetic) post nasty comments about me, get your facts right, because this is why many (not all) of you '07 noobs should not be allowed to post an opinion on this, you dont even understand whats going on.
/anger off :)
Peace

A vote for free trade and old wilderness is not fair to players that follow the rules. i just witnessed two players who said they each created 10 and 20 new accounts just to vote for this. I dont find this fair at all.
