"I left this game about 4 years ago. Sure I've logged in occasionally just to check on my favorite accounts, but i don't actually play. Ive even lost a few 'silver p-hats', if you catch my drift, due to account inactivity i assume (which i agree is a wise move). That was a part-time job without a paycheck, but i did it to protect the younger naive players and preserve the integrity of the game.

These days, those kids are exposed to all manner of uncensored filth in-game, and the integrity went down the toilette.

I've paid as many as 4 simultaneous memberships, but I'm *** gonna pay $ just to vote to restore a game i already spent hundreds on only to have all my accounts ruined by major game changes.

Its an insult to expect your ex-loyal customers to pay $ for a game they don't like (no offense) just to be able to vote to restore the game that they did like and already payed for.

Not to mention having to start all over from square one rebuilding their accounts. Believe me when i say that building a maxxed pure was a pain, and there's zero chance id waste any more of my life rebuilding this account that i already worked so hard on

Im expected to pay over $20 a month just to have my stats deleted, and return to a game that used to cost $5 a month, and years of my free time? What a joke. Its obvious what the motivation is here

Just my 2 cents (litterally), and i think thats the whole reason alot of old schoolers like myself jumped ship in the 1st place

No respect for the hard work and loyalty of the players that made Jagex what it is today

The new generation that displaced the old one will just pony up more cash (rather, their parents will) to see what the old game was like, but i doubt the people that left will

You lost me as a customer years ago, but now theres little chance ill ever come back

This isnt personal. Im not mad, rather disappointed. You almost had me with talk of a 2007 rs and im telling you the reasons why you probably never will."

SUPPORT.

Quote So Wreck3d:
"Prior to my conversation with Mod MMG last night on Skype, I (and the Runescape community) thought the player-base was a lot smaller then it actually is. The true statistic is that there are 1.3 Million Active Member Accounts. Now, obviously, these accounts are not all logged in at the same time. The concurrent playerbase never reaches more then 80-90k AT A TIME, however, there IS an available player base to make this vote happen. 1.3 Million Members type "Runescape.***" and log in at least once per week, forcing them to see the post. This vote poll will get much more notoriety than the petition because its actually on the front page of Runescape whereas the petition certainly was not... I am confident that we will get 500k-750k quite easily, once those who are discouraged begin to see how quickly the poll numbers rise within the first few days.

One other major note to realize before you start wishing that the servers could be a different year: August 2007 was the ONLY USABLE VERSION of the game that they found. While I understand the merits of the arguments for almost every era of the game suggested, Jagex simply can not enact them. This isn't my opinion, this isn't what EVERYONE wants, but it is all that they have. If you are really this upset about the fact that its 2007 and not 2006 or 2008 or 2009 or 2010 or 2011 or 2012 and are considering abstaining from voting- Ask yourself the following question:

Would I rather have 2007 Runescape, or nothing but the EoC?

Please Vote on Friday, and i thank you for your support."

Dang I read over the few details about reseting the accounts. Heck i drifted away from RS for 4-5 years because of the mess since but I don't want to spend another 150 days to get back to where I was at that time. Why not credit all stat totals we have now that are in the older version? I mean we earned them so why not? Totals wouldn't be hard to transfer would it? Or how about letting the people who played back then get their stats back for hanging in and being loyal and coming back!!! More incentive. I dread the thought of having to bury bones again and a few others. We had fun with what we built up to. Old school means give it back totally not half messed up again as the other updates have been. Why does there have to be a major flaw with everything? Give us current totals on stats that will c arry over or give us our old totals at the time please.. Would make a big difference. I'm afraid this will really limit people STARTING OVER. I won't fight cows again sorry. But would pay what ever to have my account back then for the stats I've worked for.

Do This!!!...

@EVERYONE NOT WANTING TO PAY 1 MONTHS MEMBERSHIP TO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure all if not most of you have been begging for this chance since eoc came into the game. I really hope you guys don't let 7 dollars stand in your way *ow and besides.. Mod mmg said those who vote will get the first membership on the 2007 servers for free so think of it as buying membership early. Everybody needs to come together and vote. Don't think your 1 vote won't make a diffierence. Every vote is 1 step closer and 500k+ is what we really need to aim for at the least because it's a free service at that point (with main runescape membership) EVERYONE REPASTE THIS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
