I've been sitting here at my computer thinking about everything and anything about the old runescape and what it would be like. I have come to realise a lot of things I think a lot of people are overlooking or just haven't thought about.

First of all, we take for granted a HUGE amount of content, you won't realise until you think about it for awhile or play the old runescape. But everyday players will be missing the GE, Run restore musicians, Deposit all, coin pouch, certain training areas and the list goes on. I assume the update is mainly aimed at Pkers, so maybe you don't care about these that much but there is something much more important people need to realise.

With a new economy, with everyone on a level playing field, there is NO money, NO items and everyone has to start from scratch. This means you can't just say "oh i'll just go buy a rune hatchet and get 80 woodcutting" no because not only will you have a very small amount of money, but no one will have a rune hatchet. You will need to sell items to general stores or high alch for money. You could kill monsters, but when you don't have any good gear that's going to be very hard. You want runes to train magic? Go train mining, collect rune ess, train runecrafting your self because we all know even if someone had 99 within 2 months, you can't afford their prices can you?

There are so many things to consider, and for the first few months training will be incredibly slow, for everything. The game won't be the same as it was in 2007, because in 2007 the game had been alive for a few years, so people already had money and items in the game.

I'm not saying this update will be terrible, I have no idea, I may be wrong about a lot of what I've said but it's probably going to be a very slow start and not what you expect. So it's probably worth your time to just think about how it might turn out. Thanks!

JAGEX! As a 8 year old veteran, I can say that you're once again my favorite company! Thank you, thank you thank you! I rarely post on the forums anymore but this is more than worth it! You don't know how happy I got when I decided to check how's RuneScape going ATM. Now I'll start playing again :D

It has been suggested many times before and now you have finally decided to make a poll on it! This is maybe the biggest thing ever to go on, much bigger than the old wildy poll! Believe me, this is NO mistake of you, this is maybe the best move you have did towards the veteran players, and I say once again thank you jagex!

You guys are so selfish, why are you ruining other people's plans to play this game? At least vote yes for the people who actually want to play something. The community has officially rotten. Disgusting people, it doesn't even affect you at all, SEPERATE SERVERS. So please, vote yes for the people who actually want to reach 750k people*

First of all get your facts straight, I'm sure he meant maxing as in 99's. Suomi is already done with his 200m's he's just waiting till the 20th to have his party. He has played for only 10 years, and no he hasn't found bugs or glitches he's just a very dedicated player. It's easy to say someone is a cheater then just admitting the truth.

If you were a non mem and wanted and old version of runescape badly and yet u can't fight for what you want, that's total ******** cuz non mems all around must feel the same way as i do and want to play the old runescape so badly but don't want to become a mem. If jagex does not allow us to play the old runescape, it will build up a bad F2p community and then jagex will have a problem...

I love the idea of these servers, but i feel the jagged ruff graphics and animations dont deserve 4.95 members fee, i reckon the improved graphics of 2008-2009 are excellent as they are more rounded and human like. Also the magic bow animation looks better ( just an example) as it actually has a string firing the arrow i dont think updating graphics a little that they already done 4 years ago will take alot of time and effort

The 2007 graphics are exactly the same as 2008-2009 but they are just that little bit cleaner and smoother, so i dont understand why people complain and say they want 2007 graphics
