I can't immense my Runescape experience from when I started playing in 2003 to the point of 2008. I'm a veteran player. Runescape was a wonder*us place for me - I absolutely loved it. I started when I was only 9. It felt like another world to me. After I got so into the game, competition lurked into me; the wilderness became my new home. Not only that, I fell in love with every aspect of the game.
My love for the game, however was shattered alongside millions of players after the ridiculous, sudden and unjust changes were made in 2008. I was flabbergasted at the extent of the updates - RWT and botting, in my opinion, could have been stopped in much better thought-out ways than the torturous updates that sprouted out. I didn't know how to respond to the wilderness being gone and free trade being vanished. I felt as if 5 years of my life were just wasted. That is why I was one of the 60,000 members who cancelled their memberships and boycotted the game immediately after.
My love for Runescape, however, could not escape me. Even though the updates scarred me I couldn't completely extract myself from the game. I came back and started fesh on a new account and pretended that this new Runescape is how Runescape was all along. I was still hurt, but hey, at least I can still enjoy the game somehow.
When I first saw the petition for the vote, I couldn't believe it. My mind was literally blown. I shouted in joy, voted on my current account and all my other accounts and every username of mine that I could think of. I called up all my friends, most with the same reaction as me, and I had them all immediately vote. If this vote gets passed, if everything goes back to normal, the way it should be... No word can describe it.
I'm already planning and getting ready for it - I'm reviving my old Pking clan and started a new hybrid pure on scratch. Yeah, I know I'll be good from now on. How's everyone else coping? Reactions?
