I'd like to pose this problem with the vote: Many (and I mean MANY) people, (some of which i know personally) have quit or ended there membership because they completely rejected the eoc and other questionable updates. Those who are still members, coincidentally the ones who are allowed to vote, like the eoc well enough to continue playing obviously. By limiting the vote to current members you deny the MANY people that would love to see runescape as it was. I know very few, if any, of those people are willing to create or upgrade to a members account JUST to vote in the HOPES that enough people vote to make it worth their initial membership payment. This will likely get no consideration, but I am one person and personally know 11 people. ELEVEN people who would gladly vote and continue playing IF they were allowed, but are NOT going to risk becoming a member and the vote failing. For the life of me I don't know why I am still paying for this game monthly, as I despise with a passion the eoc and solomon's store, among other updates and never play anymore. However, if the vote went through to 500k or more (hoping for 750k+) then I would gladly pay the membership fee and play the old school runescape regularly. I just think that you are missing out on a TON of voters by limiting it to members only as there are many people who aren't members who would absolutely love to play the old style runescape again, AND be willing to pay the membership fee I might add... if the vote fails, I will finally cancel my membership and bid a hard and sad farewell to what was once my favourite game.

Profile Highlight They said it will carry your display name from current game to the new servers. With same log in username and pass

Where does it say that? Is this confirmed that we will keep our display names from eoc?

Having an older version of Runescape would be great! I remember the good old times and enjoyed every bit of it. Now runescape is slower and dull. Also, the game seems to run slower, because of all these graphic updates. Skilling is extremely boring now and seems like a pain with the action bar. Some suggestions for our future 07' rs.

Please do not bring back the grand exchange. I loved the interaction with others buying/selling.

Please bring back monsters that attacked you while you were skilling. Example rock golems, this would help against bots.

Please bring back the pvp area in front of varrock, it used to be epic.

Please bring back old school dragon claws, they were pretty cool ;)

Please bring back ancients magic.

Please DO NOT bring back godswords.

I love the idea of if a player dies they have 1 minute to get back to it. If the are not back in time they lose their items to other players.

Please do not set an estimated price for an item.

Please decrease the drop rate for higher level gear such as whips and barrows. This would make it harder for players to get better faster.

Please do not put back in the higher lvl prayers 90+

And, if possible, prevent bots from playing- with a permanent banning system.

Some suggestion for 07' rs. You might want to make an off hand for bows, like a bow/arrow tip, to increase damage? Also, longbows should be able to hit 2-3 damage harder (on a 99 hp scale) than shortbows. Longbows are pointless right now. Please take away dragon pl8body. Also, daggers should be able to attack (super fast), because currently scimmies can attack just as fast. The damage ratio is unfair.

Thank you very much Jagex for giving us the opportunity to grasp old rs once again.

Sincerely,
Tom3038

P.S. As far as rares goes.... You could always just give them all to me? :P

GUYS LOOK....
If we actually vote and we get to like tier 4 or tier 5 then we will have some NONMEMBER SERVERS! May not be a lot but we'll still have them...
Get all your friends to vote! You need to vote! Persuade people at the Grand Exchange on world 1 or 2 to vote...Mod Mark didn't say we can't do that :D .....Or did he...
I don't know but still get everyone to vote!
