I have a suggestion for rare item introduction. Say, perhaps a week after release, people are about mid level... 70 for example.

Add a very slim chance for rares to drop when killing any monster, with a drop rate equivalent to that of an ancient effigy is right now. TEMPORARILY OF COURSE. Suppose, maybe a weekend, or a span of 5 days to a week.

I know this way may not seem fair to the "skiller" type accounts, but it's honestly the only fair alternative to giving them to nobody, or giving them to everyone, making them not rare at all.

Well I'm going to vote for my fellow players who feel so passionately about it. Me personally I remember many wasted hours from 2002 till the time the GE was introduced trying to sell products, when I could have been playing. I prefer to chat with someone mining or fishing instead of the massive spamming headache trying to sell items.

Personally it will be interesting to see how this all comes out after a few months of playing. I remember when RS 2 came out, I still on a rare occasion play some classic, but wonder if RS Old Skool will go the same route as classic. Will be interesting. There is a good article on rune tips discussing this "what if" scenario if everyone started at lvl 3 with no Xp. That is what I want to experience.

i vote yes to bringing back 2007 runescape but i will also play current game as well i love eoc as it is but it would be good to play old school as well good luck jagex and hope you keep bringing in these awsome updates for current game and bringing out this server will increase your player count from nearly 100k at a time to like 500k players maybe even 1million if your lucky.

@M a r i s a
I had months of membership left from pins hence why my avatar still shows but i ended my sub since eoc. What you have to realise is I was a paying member on several accounts since rs2 came out, you calling me a noob is just pathetic.

Just because people don't have avatars doesn't mean they wernt loyal customers before eoc and maybe before you even played or paid to play rs.

I was in a pure clan with 150 people before EOC came all of us were paying members on ATLEAST one account, I was a member on 3 and I know atleast half our members were paying for members on their mains.

Realise just because your gaming experience wasn't ruined others could of been. Im happy you enjoy EOC but can you honestly say you don't miss stuff from 04,05,06,07 if you played then? I walk around RS now and its dead.

As far as I am concerned if jagex want us to be members to vote they can go jump of a bridge they promise stuff they cannot meet. they always "listen to their paying members" but 99 percent of them never posted on these forums before EOC and unless they make a legally binding contract if we get a certain amount of votes I will not be renewing members to vote on jagex's own version of a "rigged poll" in their own favour.

If they don't want my money I will continue playing swtor instead of the game i truly loved. It's a shame this great game sold out to an investment company who added micro payments and stupid updates.

Will there be multi spaced usernames up for grabs again? Will we get to pick a new display name if we want for the accounts in 07? Could rares be implemented directly from the live game and be transferred over permanently. Therefore making them lost from the live game which would benefit current players of the live game, making them more rare. Regarding the last statements, it would be wise to allow this only after several months of the release, once a stable economy has been formed ect.
