To be honest, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE OLD WILDY. But there are some issues... I don't like the *its... Like, you can get hit 800 in few secs... Many weapons are overpowered...
About the Trade: I wish it got all back to the way it was... Just make the trade free, but there should be a note about the item's price... I would love that...

Hope it updates very soon.

I agree with MOGGY, that post is genius!!It is a game and its no longer as fun as it once was, and that's the one and only reason Jagex should need to bring back free trade.
500k votes isn't enough?? 90% have voted YES so in my opinion that's a load of ...... The community has spoken and its spoken loud and clear!!!
I'm sure if all the old players knew about this we'd get 1 million votes within a day. It needs to be advertised because otherwise only the newer players are aware. I only found out for example by coincidence when my gf's brother got bored of a silly club penguin game and asked me if I knew of a good online game.
FREE TRADE NEEDS TO BE REINSTATED

All right i have read about 100-200 pages of the comments and there are a lot of people saying that they don't want free trade and old wild back, because of clue scrolls and scamming and botters and real world trading. Well if you would just get out and look around the internet you'll see that all of the problems are still happening all the updated stuff just changes the way they do it. and if we were to bring back free trade and wild almost all the people that are playing private servers and people that quit because of the updates will come back, i have played this since 2002 i quit when they got rid of free trade and the wild but if they bring it back ill will for sure return and some of my friends would to.

By the way, to most of the Forum Mods (bcuz their opinion is almost same): You think this is best way of RuneScape? To have this trade limit, and a weird PVP'ing way? Well think about how many players quitted because of these updates. On one side you're thinking about community, on another you're not.

i think they should bring back the free trade because it kinda takes the spirt of trading back and forth away and also its peoples own fault if they get scammed. they just need to pay more attention

I started playing runescape when it was still in its infancy. In the beginning alot of the fun for me was to slip past all the players in the first levels in the Wildy and explore everything that was their. I was killed my fair share and the old wildy and you don't die without getting a little ideas how to avoid it the next time. for me the wildy was a huge part of the expierience of playing the game and i pretty much stopped playing after you cut it. The wildy should come back and give that expierience to new players. same thing for free trade yeah i got scammed a few times but it teachs you how to play the game better. right now runescape is for little kids who never lose and whine too much. bring back the wildy!

you know what else I miss... I miss going to Fally park and sit around trying to sell my whip for 2mil despite the 15 people standing next to me selling for 1.5mil. but i didn't care, I sat there and continued trying to sell it until someone came along and bought it. I miss those days. I felt such accomplishment. Bring back free trade, jagex. We miss it. Your Real true hardcore Rs fans miss it.

Jagex, you should've thought better about all this.
I want old wildy and free trade to come back, but do you guys?
You expect 1M people to vote on the new poll, how many active players are there? certainly not 1M. If you guys won't give the players their free trade & old wildy back there are going to be riots, and loads of players will quit. you'll have the status of unreliable, and the further you postpone this update, the less faith they'll have in you guys..
you guys can do it in days, (mod mmg? said that). why don't you just do it, 90% of 600,000 people want this. I'm not sure if you guys know what an amount of people that is..
just get it over with, yes or no. you make me think you guys don't want it updated but just want more people to come and play..
Btw, you gave a wrong point of view to the palyers who started in '08-'09. the wilderness is something safe now. 'bounty hunter'. you get +1 sometimes ffs... back when it was still a real 'wilderness' i ALWAYS had to pee when i walked in, it was so much fun and scary in the same time. i miss that feeling, you had to really watch out not being killed. you can expect everything to happen. guess new players don't understand that feeling.. but it was awesome. hell with the scamming, u now have these '!' red things poppin, and you shouldn't fall for it, as well as for the luring.. if you fall for it you're a dumb ***.. i never understood why you took it away.. you lost 3/4 players. including me

. hopin' you'll use your mind now.. just give it for new years. people give you membership fees as a return

.
sorry for the bad english. i normally NEVER post but this time jagex is acting really stupid.. just give it back? don't you see 90% wants it back.

I strongly vote "YES" for free trade and old wildermess.
"but what about my clue scrolls?!?!?!" so what?.... clue scrolls were in the old wilderness whats makes things any different now? Theres no reason why they shouldnt be..
"prices will sky rocket!!" has anyone else noticed since the update which removed free trade/wildy how much inflation has taken place?...
I am a pker, its gives a thrill and income as allows use to receive a thrill and a CHALLENGE. Old wilderness was feared because many couldnt handle the challenge, or simply wanted to abuse something in it (green drags/clue scrolls/runite ore) without receiving the consenquences. And thats what the revamping of the wildy did. Green drag fighters should be taking risk, clue scrolls are suppose to be hard and not just "i looked up the location, now ima get mai loots"
I preffered the times in Varrok west/Fally world 1/2 where masses were selling, and the person who got read, got his items sold. With free trade, merchanting cc's which abuse the GE will be gone, and they are the real scammers. Abusing there members to rise/crash a price for the own leaders gain.
I use to stake in the duel arena, and wow, thats a thrill, you could make mills 1 minute, lose them the next. This is an experience many of theese new players are missing out on.
I remember back around the 10th/11th/12th of Decemember 2007 when wilderness and free trade was removed. Many people quit, but now, many shall return which can only mean good things.
And to be honest now that you released this poll with 90% of voters supporting, if you go back on that, you cant full back on the "larger percent of the player base ....", you litterally just wave goodbye to there mememberships.

@FETISH 1337
What he said. Does Jagex actually have the passion anymore? The kind of passion us old school RS players have? Tbh runescape played a huge part in my teenage years. I met so many irl friends because of it. My brother and I hated each other and still do to this day, but when we pk'ed together we were tranquil. It was the only thing that brought us together as sad as it sounds but it's true. We had true passion for runescape. We loved it.
Do any of you feel what we feel? Or like FETISH 1337 said, do you just want more people to come play? I dare a mod to come out and respond to this comment and tell us how much you miss the old RS. Help us bring it back!
