I would Love for Both the wildy and Free Trade come back, I miss the old RuneScape days with wildy, and I think that Having set price limits is kinda lame(no offence). And I'm Sure that there would still be a way to stop some of the issues with RWT, Players need to understand that this is a GAME and its meant to be played for fun, not just for a fast 99 skill or a Fortune of Gold.
Anyways I would love for Wildy to come back and free trade to, or just a higher trade limit really but most def wildy=)
*Edit* Also THE NO LIMIT STAKES! I Really miss that, Even more than Wildy Because it's Safer and It's more fair Because you Know what the stakes you will win/lose and It's Way more competitive=)

@Loon I fail to see how the message I posted was an attack on you. A statement directed at you for you to respond to but far from an attack. Learning from your mistakes is as I said the best way to learn period. Argue that point all you want but the best lessons learnt in life are from ones mistakes. And if you actually pay attention to the stronghold of security content then it becomes pretty clear to be wary of the pitfalls of other players' guild. As for PKing in general... taking items from kills is your reward for killing someone no matter the threat they possess to you and not all pkers in the wilderness are those who prey on the weak. Many I know of go out to the wilderness looking for a worthy fight and leave clue scrollers and abyss rcers alone. And of course lets not forget about the massive clan wars held at the fence that would last hours on end. Its one of the main reasons why so many valuable members of the runescape community left in the first place. The bottom line is Pking and scamming are minor inconveniences when compared to all of what players are capable of bringing to the game with this content in-place. Loon if you wish to speak civilly then please do so; I don't troll this forum to fight with someone over the internet, I come to this forum to help those who voted no see the information on both sides and understand the value of such content.

With these things already in place, they give structure to trading and Pk'ing. But now you have decided to put it back to what it use to be. I did like it, as i didn't abuse the system, but due to RWT and what-not it got out of control.
"The good old days" were a good experience, how-ever, that should stay in the past. What was in the past should stay in the past.
Ive given good thought about it and I would like it to stay this way and change my vote to "No".
Cheers,
Lemon.

LOL it's rather sad for the new players that are from 09-10 they are saying no because they dont know how fun it was back then. Also Jagex will not lose players they will regain old players.. So it's obviously soon passing don't complain.

Oh, im sorry, but please F**K you who flamed me.
No regrets. That's how I speak :D :D :D :D, if you thought, that I was so keen on getting people to vote for this poll/referendum, well you're wrong.
Glad, that some are agreeing with me. Keep up with the .... work.

Looking at the current poll it looks like wildy and free trade are going to come back.
There was no option to choose YES for e.g. free trade and NO for return of wildy.
For the free trade, I don't mind if it comes back. There are benefits for it, only I fear a lot of botters will make abuse of it.
Now return of old wildy. I don't mind that players like to kill other players, as long as they are willing to get killed.
Some people (me included) hate the fact that when doing e.g. a clue a bunch of pk-ers trick you or lay in ambush.
So there are people that don't like PK.
Therefore my suggestion: you can bring back old wildy, BUT
- provide a setting that everybody can activate PVP or not.
- when activated : you can kill other players but you can
also be killed
- when not activated: you can only be killed by revenants in
the wildy.
PK-ers have then all the excitement they have and cannot kill innocent victims.

I am a player who has played since 2004. I loved the feel of Free Trade and the old way of merching and how you could travel all over RuneScape to sell items for a higher price than you bought them for. I miss how the Seers' Village bank used to be at peak times, always crowded, now you are lucky to have 10 people in it at any given time. I miss the thrill and the sense of danger when entering the Wilderness, either to Runecraft, (by the abyss) or then just wander around for fun with friends. I miss Law running on Entrana, a system that worked very well, and wasn't abused and died with Free Trade (I wish I had 54 runecrafting at the time! Lol I was one of the nooby moneymakers, hehe not one of the guys making the nats :D ). I miss all these elements of the game. I would like these things and many more to return to RuneScape, as this was the first RuneScape I ever knew. But to be honest I can't see what Jagex will gain from bringing them back. There have been almost 1 million votes placed now on this Referendum. 7% of those votes disagree with this all. Even if half of those players quit, 35,000 players will quit RuneScape because of this update. (I doubt that many will quit, for many threatening to quit, it is all just talk). I know this is an attempt to revive RuneScape and bring back many of the community. But I have several friends who quit when the Wilderness and Free Trade were removed. To be honest, they have moved on. I can't see them coming back to RuneScape, even if these elements of the game returned. If the majority of players did not return, then RuneScape could come out worse, losing up to 70,000 players! (maybe more, if the people who voted Yes regret doing so!) I do want these things to come back to RuneScape, but I don't think it will bring back the old Community. :|

And Also - turning PvP off in the Wilderness is stupid - defeats the purpose of it all. Anybody posting that idea - don't, 'cause it's stupid. Revenants are there to replace Pkers, so If Revs leave, then Pkers have to replace them to make the wilderness dangerous. It's far too easy now, seriously. Needs fixing.

To be honest, I would make all worlds Bounty Worlds, except you could go anywhere rather than just Edgeville. At least then the wilderness is a bit more dangerous.
