"But before I get into the specifics, there is one thing that is very important to note. If this idea gathers sufficient support, then we will not need to take our current talent away from all of the exciting updates to be implemented into the current version of the game, as we will be able to hire a new dedicated team to work specifically on this project.

By giving you the choice to play either version of the game, we are demonstrating our commitment to listen and - wherever possible - incorporate your feedback. In the long term, we hope that this project will bring back many veteran players, as well as possibly encourage new players to join. They will be able to relive their old game experience to their heart's content"

As I've read through the endless stream of repetitive BS, I took on the task of just reitterating a few points and ironing out any confusions you guys and gals might have.

- The vote will go live mid day GMT.

- The tiers are achievable and definitely within the community's reach with the right amount of support.

- This will NOT affect the current RS supporters experience in the EOC so PLEASE don't restrain from voting, support your own community and it will support you.

- You may think the additional 15 dollar fee is outrageous, which I also agree with, but you can pay less (long term) by renewing your membership(s). I for one, can't afford £15 a month on computer games so please, VOTE!

- The people that weren't around for 2007 RuneScape, please, don't make judgements from private servers as it is entirely different.

- Yes, usernames will be reset.

- Yes, Mods will be re-allocated as it is, and I quote a "SEPARATE ENTITY" Which means basically, JaGeX are creating a NEW old game.

- This is a huge step for JaGeX, for once in the 8 years I've been playing (on and off, and I do NOT play the current RuneScape), they've properly listened to the community, yes we all know they're also in it for the revenue, but you all have to remember - IT'S A COMPANY! They need money for this.. So STOP complaining about it.

- Much to my dismay, there are a huge number of you just instantly disregarding the idea of something new to you (I presume the vast majority of these are 09-13 players). YES we don't like change, and neither do you, but you would understand if you were in our shoes.

PLEASE VOTE!!
Thank-you,
- Chris :) :)

Why waste time with this dumb idea to try and claw back all your lost members instead of prioritizing the repair of the main game.

We are still infested with bots and gambling and your dumb botwatch is yet to go live.

Why cant we have a REFERENDUM ON RESTRICTED TRADE which would end this problem as it did in 08. There would be no gambling, no rwt, minimal bots, no scamming and a significant decrease in phishing and hacking.

Trade Limit at its worse was a minor inconvenience. Look at all the problems it can solve with a simple update. Im sure every legit player would vote yes to solve these problems and live with an inconvenience than have the game remain as it is.

FIX YOUR GAME AND THEN PEOPLE WILL RETURN

As much as discussion about private servers ISNT allowed, I've been searching around some of the well known ones and it's the talk of their communities.

If anything, Jagex is doing something right. Now let's see how many players actually stand behind this idea and support it. Let's be honest, if you can't afford $10 this day in age you shouldn't have a computer.

This is a really good start to the year, Jagex! Will make sure to vote tomorrow, a 2007 version would definitely make me far more active on Runescape. I know you're trying hard on this game but EoC just wasn't for me... :P

Also, can someone tell me whether friends chats were around in 2007? I can't remember O_o
