To those against it solely for the "10 year old kids are the worst crowd, and are the only people supporting this game":

Consider the fact that many supporters of RS2007, as it has come to be called, Have played many mmos. I've Played WoW, Star Wars the Old Republic, both Guild Wars, Maplestory, and more than you can count besides them. I also have been playing Runescape since Middle School (2006 to be Exact). And I can tell you that Runescape Used to be the Best of them all. I remember those Days, When the Best Melee weapon was a whip, the best Ranged was a Dark Bow, and The game was actually FUN as a nonmember. Sadly, once they took away Free Trade, the game slowly started to deteriorate into what it is today. Yes, they brought back Free Trade and old Wilderness, it's not the same.

As an avid fan of gaming in general (social not included) I wholeheartedly support Jagex's decision to create a blast from the past brought into the modern day. Activision-Blizzard Has Multiplayer servers set up for WCIII and Starcraft, and they used to Bleed cash on anything from the Blizzard side until they did that.

This is a smart Business Decision. Jagex needs to think Profits First, community second, Just like any other business does. I don't support the way of thinking, but I, like anyone else who understands there's a world besides Runescape, should Understand that this is Better for both the community and for Jagex as a business.

I however, am a bit curious as to why they decided 750K votes was a positive idea. I Know they probably picked this number to boost subscription, sure, but it's not going to ever Hit level 4, unless you have a major amount people who have money they can throw around.

And one last Thing I would like to point out. All those "10 year olds" will be out of your EoC servers and be playing the classic, so you don't need to deal with them on as frequent of a basis.

im defiantly wanting the 2007 server as any server pre eoc will be great not saying i dont like eoc but it isnt the runescape i particularly enjoyed the most.... as to the post about what 2007 servers include im glad to see that the first month of it will be free to those who vote i hope to see it hit 750000 votes actually i want to see more then that out of satisfaction that players are really into this as well


my thoughts on rares being put into the game

* yes i certainly think rares should be introduced into the game but not asap
..... why? so players have the importunity to get into the game or decide that they like the improved runescape better party hats of course skyrocketed due to players alching them and making them rise droping them losing them when they wer cheap and useless but they wher an item that was in runescape and has almost always been ther as im talking about all rares not just party hats...

* when should they be introduced i suppose i don't really have a clue about how to do it suppose you could make them holiday events as they where before but at the same time they should almost enter the game asap because they where in the game in 2007

*also i think every player when and if released should be able to get them that is playing at the time to ensure that the player economy stays fair and just only thing i truely worry about is bots sure they will make things come into the game faster making it easyer for players but i dont want to see them at all because once started they are a force that seems unstopable and really just kill evrything people work so hard to complete


also i would like the thank jagex for listing to the community as a hole and giving this a shot i respect you more as a company now i realize money is what makes the world go round and this game run even tho i cant play right now due to some java error or game pack errors

i am very excited to see this happen and know we will prevail

AS FOR RARES - ideas from an 04 player
I think there should be rares on the new (old) servers because many people played just to trade/merchant/own those items, as for re-introducing them I don't think dropping them like last time would be a good idea as people would just try an horde as many as they can and they would be pretty worthless if everyone had the chance to get one. So I think there should be a random system of distributing them across accounts over a certain age when the servers a launched. I dunno :P
