Meh. Fair solution. At least Jagex had some mercy for not crossing their arbitrary 500k threshold. I'm glad '07scape is there, if only for the ability to take a trip down the ol' memory lane.

I've played RS (sometimes off and on admittedly) since the days before membership ever existed. Keeping with it that long means letting go of being butthurt over gradual and necessary changes -- else I would be long gone by now.

By and large, RuneScape is actually better because of the updates over the years, and that includes the GE and the EoC. It is nice to have a fun reminder of how things used to be, but '07scape is just that: a reminder, a relic and a museum piece.

Firstly, I want to congratulate Jagex on such an outstanding outcome of votes! That is something to be very proud of. Secondly, I want to thank all players who voted in this and had the 2007RS spirit as I did.

Here's to a year of 07 scaping! You guys have earned my subscription. RS2007 kicks butt, just like Elvarg will most likely do to me when I first attempt D Slayer. :P WE ARE...

As long as this does not interfere with the main game...oh wait...

I'm tired of seeing a ton of 2007 updates on the main page all week. 2007 needs its own separate home page. The community is divided and thats fine, so cut them off from each other completely would be my suggestion.

They got what they wanted, but at my expense? No one's expense (outside of our wallets) should have been made. Mine nor theirs... Do you even have the man power to take on 2 huge full-time games?

This whole thing just seemed premeditated to begin with. You magically found a back up of 2007... like what kind of terrible data storage or networks do you have that thats all you had and took you so long to find it. Sounds like you need a new IT manager and better organization skills...

Good luck though, but I will be an angry bear if you put off another update for this 'other' game. I voted because those people deserve it, especially if they are willing to pay for it.

One major question....what ever happens in 6 months..will be be required to pay for the current game, that the success of old school shows not many like.

I love old school but just dont like the idea of having to pay for a game I will never play again...... in my heart it feels like paying for my neighbor to have *** with his own wife.... sound foolish but that sounds like what jagex has planned.

ONE QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **PLEASE READ** ****IMPORTANT****

Q: Why does 450k votes NOT ensure a larger development team? Why the small development team of 250k votes; we were only 50k votes off; why not round up? Surely 200k votes matters!

IF RS 07 DOES NOT HAVE constant, weekly updates, the game WILL FAIL, pure and simple. It needs to be updated AS FREQUENTLY as modern eoc runescape to attract NEW PLAYERS and to be a success in the long term. Surely you cannot expect the game to "grow" in the next 6 months if you do not constantly update it as you would had we received over 500k votes. The 250k 'cut' off isn't going to 'cut' it long term (no pun intended).

I know what I'm talking about. I've been playing rs since 2001, since I was 9 years old. I started only a few months after it came out. I've seen the comings and goings around here.

P.S. This poll would have made the wilderness poll of 1m+ votes look like nothing if you had opened the vote to free players, and that's a given. Since you are only looking at this from a business standpoint, however, you have alienated hundreds of thousands of free players who would have voted 'yes.' I estimate you would have received over 1m votes.

So treat old Rs just as you do modern rs. MORE THAN HALF OF the total players on runesape already play 2007, which is clearly an indication that almost half of your players are NOT happy with EOC. Don't be blind to the reality. If old runescape overshadows EOC in the next month (and it will unless you conspire to purposefully not update old rs for some reason), prepare the eulogy: EOC will die. Why? Because 2007/08 rs was a better game.

This isn't nostalgia talking either. You've had to compensate for lack of sales by creating artificial in-game wheel of fortunes,etc. which you would have MORALLY been opposed to just 5 years ago. KEEP UPDATING OLD RS and see what happens to eoc!

Please answer my question. Thank you again!

Very respectfully yours,
King of Serb

grats jages you manged to divide your community and players in to eoc and 07players instead of trying to fix the current game and try to make it something even die hard o7 players would want to play it would be so funny if eoc just became dead content and no one played it all that for 5 extra dollars. i personalty like the eoc and cant wait for world wakes i am dying of suspense after that epic video that's the kind of stuff i want to see not some pathetic attempt to get 5 extra bucks that was your guys plan the entire time you new we would make the 250,000 mark and you also new just how impossible it was to get 500k votes shameful very very shameful
