Jagex, year 07, i must say is probably the worst year of my life. Prior to that year i played runescape like every day with the same guy Insane Jecke. Well he quit that year, and i aint seen em since. Im hoping once everything is back to the golden ages, he'll log in once more. But i know thats nearly an impossibility. But i want runescape back to how it used to be, the first online game i ever played, period. And clearly everyone all of RS wants it back to, this topic is bigger than the topic about you givess giving away 10000$. and they were both started on the same day. that should say something. So for the 90 percent on runescape that says YES to bringing back free trade and wilderness, dont let us down.

There are many mixed feelings I have about this and therefore I will make a list.
1. I support free trade coming back but I believe we need some system of pricing items. When you trade or sell something on the GE there should be a suggested price.
2. I do and do not support the returning of the old wilderness. I like how the wilderness is now with the volcano with one of two only places for free members to fight greater demons and this is an actually good place to do so. I also like renevant hunting. However, I do miss the old days of exploring the wilderness avoiding pkers. I believe that we could keep bounty worlds but have it non-auto-skulling and keep the rest of the runescape world open, kind of like the old days.
3. The one thing that is getting me is how to keep bots at bay. You claimed to have sufficient anti-botting methods before the whole removal thing happened. Somehow I have the feeling that bots will come back in multitudes and we will have the same problem.
4. I would like to see all of the old cities back in their haydays. I miss the crowded squares of lumbridge, varrock, and falador with a lot of people to chat with. The amount of spam would be a problem though.
5. Merching would be gone (WOOOOOT! :D ).
6. This would bring back scamming, account selling, real world trad, ect.
Overall, my vote is a no because the cons outweighed the pros in this situation. I hope you will take the time to carefully read this and consider your vote.
P.S. Jagex, I ask any players in the wilderness fighting greater demons (like me) or doing a clue scroll when the update comes into effect be teleported to lumbridge with a clue scroll relocation.

I have so much respect for Jegax doing this the second I saw this I texted all my old friends that played rune scape an quit because of the free trade removal as well as the wilderness being made overly user friendly, and removing "Exciting staking", I applaud runescape now and am personally excited for what jegax knows they did wrong, they made so much of there *an base quit I remember the months leading up to the patch as some of my fondest memories of the game. If they would remove the patches I always said I would come back to play. For all the people who are saying it would be a mistake the majority of them never played during runescapes peak time and it really did make the game so much fun. I urge everyone to vote yes in affirmation of this so that all the old players can come back an enjoy the game once again and all the newer players can continue to play the game the way they learned it because not much has changed other then these key elements.

JaGeX plans to ruin their own game again.. make me LOL hard as.
To all u Pkers that just create new accounts just to get more votes for it... GET A LIFE!!!! I myself do like the PvP the way it is now.
The people that are honest players that know RS will fall because of this are actualy using whats in their head,Common sense.
I don't mind if Free Trade comes in because the ge will not go if that comes in.
So all u Pkers that would love to have old wildy back,just wait till u get ur ass pwned when ur luring noobs to get some free cash (2gp).
Also, 60% of the 90% saying yes are noobs just creating accounts to get it back...
Kind regards, XAngellicPkX

Well I personally think getting the trade limit dropped would be pretty cool, but maybe keep the wilderness the same just so players cant scam. The only reason I think taking away the trade limit so players can trade for free if wanted and so that players can buy Items from people at the Grand exchange for the lowest or highest price without needing to take extra stuff. So like easier merching.

I'm Sorry does anyone remember the massive riots in this game back in 2007 when what a massive amount of players would call the best part of runescape was taken away from them?.. THIS IS BY FAR the smartest move Jagex has made as a company, This will make hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of players happy like they were before they most likely quit because of its removal.
I know i quit because of it way back then, i admit i came back to try out the new way of things but it just didnt have that same amazing character that the old runescape had. In my opinion they took an amazing original concept of a game and just completely destroyed it. I will definitely be voting yes for this as i am an old pker and i loved the wilderness how it used to be and i cant thank jagex enough for bringing back the game that i loved. THAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOU LEWL.
Go ahead though, vote yes :P

I really enjoyed the old runescape, before 2007. When I found out about the new trade limit rule, my entire world shattered, lol. But not because I was upset that I could no longer scam other players, for I didn't do that, (shame on those who do). Also, the wildy was basically all I played for. I remember when I was younger and I was so proud of myself for knowing the exact route and ways to go to find it.(But now I realized I was a complete noob at knowing the map of Runescape) But about the trade limit thing, I reeeally loved giving my friends items coins etc. that they needed or just wanted =P. But now I can't do that... so I really don't bother playing runescape as often as I used to. I think Jagex should definitely change it back to the "old runescape".
P.S. -And the new 10% multiplied health and damage system? C'mon! Runescape, you don't need to try to be more and more like an RPG, you are the best of the best, or at least used to be. I mean I could take all these stupid little updates, some small, some really big, but I mean I just dont like this 10% health thing! I haven't beem able to pk,(The only thing I used to do since the wildy was removed). I think that's all, thanks for reading.
