Well its pretty obvious by the 'vote' if the numbers are to be believed that players
don't want EOC, if you gave us a vote on bring back RS Nov 2012 pre EOC the
vote would be overwhelming of yes votes as we wouldn't have to start from lvl 3
you could just roll our stats back 4 months but all you gave was OS2007 to say
this was the ONLY back up is laughable, you just wanted our money.
.And now the end is near its time to raise the final curtain.
Regrets i have a few, but i did it my way.

As you can see, I am a long term member of Runescape. However, I firmly support Free to Play servers for Runescape 2007. Without Free to Play servers the ability of the community to grow is limited.

Free to Play allows new players to choose which "Runescape" they wish to play. Free to Play servers also allow current players of 2007 to urge other family and friends to try 2007.

If you do not allow Free to Play servers you, Jagex, are shooting the dedicated 2007 family in the back.

Without Free to Play servers Mark Gerard's statements regarding how happy he is to bring back 2007 is just a lot of BS. Either Mr. Gerard was honest in his statements about 2007 servers or he was just money grubbing for those 449,351 plus memberships (449,351 x $8(USA) = $3,594,808.) Now I know that some members such as myself did not add any extra revenue to Jagex during the voting period. However, there were very many new member accounts plus Jagex didn't lose anymore current members. I figure that at least 2/3 of the vote were new member accounts. That is a huge boost to Jagex for their 2013 first quarter financial statements. I figure that $2,396,539 a month in extra revenue will make owners/investors very happy. Maybe even save Mark Gerard his job.

And, it is probably NOT a good idea to try to add $5.00 a month to the cost of playing 2007. You will lose a lot of players including me.

If others have posted about this, I salute you! I have not read all pages of comments. And, if anyone sees a problem with my math, please correct me. :P I did not consider the cost of memberships in other Countries because I do not know how much it would be in USA dollars or how many new accounts were from other Countries. Yes, I know that memberships in USA are $7.95 not *8. meh If it matters to you, you do the math.

why so greedy and not just for free? and maybe it's just me but 07 is a long time ago so i think the servers will slowly die, why don't run the lastest server just before the eoc came out, there were some haters also but it think that wont die (so fast than an old skool server)

it's just my opinion, and i wont become member again in this ****** eoc or paying 5* extra for a game that will die if you ask money for some ****** updates and no anti-bot st00f, slowly pple will become bored and realise that 07 wasn't that good at all, but it wont be that good at all coz not every1 is will to pay for a ****** server with less updates.

make a free 07 game or bring the lastest servers back before eoc came out, or let the game die..

I'm out..
Thanks 2 my mates (that already left) for the GOOD old time :)

[Guys don't be mad, just telling what I think about this. It's oky if you have another feeling, just go ahead and make fun]

Man this community really does blow, I honestly can't believe people are complaining about 6 months of free 07scape, FREE 6 MONTHS even though we didn't hit the 500k mark for it to be free no matter what, of course this community finds something to cry about all the time, I think the worst part is is that the 07 community probably won't be much better than the eoc community.

Everyone just keeps thinking Jagex is all about money, here's a tip people, IT'S A COMPANY, so it has to be ran like one which means... yes that's correct, THEY HAVE TO MAKE MONEY TO CONTINUE RUNNING RUNESCAPE. Good lord, everyone is just stupid and/or greedy, they just want more more more more, it's never enough for them.

They took out the wildy and free trade to try and kill off gold farming and botters, and it worked so amazingly but of course, people complained about it and ragequit, I honestly think that's when the community was at it's best, when you couldn't lure and do all of that stuff, yeah the community was good in 06 when I joined, but it still seemed good with the removal of wildy and free trade and as soon as it came back!

BAM people begging for money like there was no tomorrow, why? Because they were botters who got hacked. I honestly am ashamed to be part of such a childish community that can't enjoy or appreciate what's being given to them after they've been CRYING ABOUT IT FOR LITERALLY YEARS. But I'll never quit this game because I love this game, at first I used to play mostly for my friends and the community, but honestly now I just play this game because I love it, kind of makes me a bit sad to see so many people like this... "L0L JAMFLEX ONLY CARES ABOUT MONIES".

I hope 07scape brings some good old players back with real morals.
