Even though I don't take notice of what happens to this poor game anymore, word has reach across the gaming community about this. I just wish everyone would see it for what it is - another cash grab by the new Jagex. Get the old players back and paying, no work apart from basic maintainance - profit. How could any 'oldschool' player even think of trusting what's become of Jagex to keep things as they were?

Cash grab or not...Jagex is still a company and that's how companies run. :| To even fuel servers and get staff to maintain this server? It requires money.

Changing for the sake of changing? Really? You can say that about technology. It's advancing every year. I'm a

I dont think its a good idea to have rares introduced. i think that you should make them untradeable and see how many rares were in at that time(if thats possible) and get them from like random events or extremely rare monster drops or something along those lines.

Statistically Runescape was at its peak with number of player in 2006-2007...

This is how I envision Runescape after the 2007 server.

*2007 sever released and the already low numbers of the "main" servers are cut in half.
*Over a large portion of time players who quit in the past will get wind of the release and join while the main sever becomes emptier.
*Main server will essentially turn into RS classic. Player numbers will continue to drop, ratio between bots to legit players will be higher.
*Sooner or later the population will be so low the economy will suck, playing will be difficult and the rest of the players from the main sever will either quit or cave in.

Runescape will find a way to "KIND OF" discontinue the main sever like they did with classic.

I loose 10 years of time and a couple $100 that I put into this account through membership fees.

Their game essentially resets its self, defiantly good for another 5-8 years, solving the end game issue... meanwhile people like me kinda get f'd over.

I've never played an MMO where everyone started on a level playing field, I've always signed up a few years in. Even though this will be a game we all know for the most part, it will also in a way, be a new game. That's how I am thinking about it anyway, which to me in itself is a cool idea.

I haven't played in a few months but renewed once I heard about this poll. I can't wait.
