I quit RuneScape around 6-10 months ago due to the direction the game was going (If you played "old skool" RuneScape then you can understand why). My friend told me of the possible return of 2007 RuneScape and I immediately got the feeling of excitement that I used to get when i used to log into RuneScape back then.

The game back then seemed a lot more fun and exciting, even without the fancy graphics. There was a lot more to do. Everything about the game was better in my opinion; Money had more value, it was a lot harder to come by, higher players were a lot more respected, you wanted to train because it was fun rather then just "botting", it wasn't as easy to gain levels so you felt a sense of achievement when you did. There was no overpowered items that divided the community. (Aug 27th?) AGS was the best weapon which made fights more fair, before AGS it was DDS, it wasn't like how it is today, fighting Torva/divine/yak with basic gear and summon.

i will definitely be renewing my membership and casting my vote for the return of 2007 RuneScape. Every "old skool" player talks about old skool Runescape for a reason... Hopefully the newer players will get the chance to experience what we did.

E: The "only member can vote rule" is a bit silly since a good number of members have quit due to how the game has changed. I imagine that a lot of people that are not willing to pay for membership to vote WILL get membership IF 2007 is released due to the amount of hype going on outside of RuneScape. I can't help but feel that this is just a sneaky plot to make a bit more money, after all you are a "business".

If there is only 50k votes due to the member only rule BUT you get a lot more members then expected will the cost of membership go down? Obviously there will be people that just sit back and let other make their accounts members to vote. Will it get any cheaper as the community grows or remain at $15?

Members only poll? Most of the people that want this server canceled their subscription because of EOC. Most of them have already gone on with their lives and won't care to resubscribe, while the rest have moved on to private servers. Plus, charging $15 a month is not a reasonable price at all. That's ridiculous.

And I may be the only one, but I don't want the classic servers to start fresh. I worked hard to get my account to where it is, and hearing that I'll be a level 3 again isn't appealing. Why can't you guys just make a pre-EOC server?

Just to point out to people that may not know, here are some things that RS 2007 won't have, based on the August 10 2007 date (you can decide if that's good or bad):

-God Wars Dungeon (as well as Bandos and Armadyl armor, and Godswords)
-Most of the Achievement Diaries (and related items)
-ZMI altar
-GE
-Summoning
-Assist system
-Slayer points
-Corporeal Beast
-Stealing Creation
-Soul Wars
-Many, many quests

That's just a handful from skimming. Some of those may eventually be added if RS 2007 gets updates, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Edit: Oh, and as you're starting from scratch, no holiday items. That includes 'rares' I'd imagine.
