People before complaining about p2p only vote, please hear me out.

It being said that you can actually subsribe p2p trial account for about 2$. Everyone can afford that!

Also recruiting friend allows recruiter get free p2p when recruited subscribed as far I know.

You are not only subscribing to vote but you also get 1 month free p2p when game goes live if you vote. This will be your last chance get old rs back, so think about it.

Jagex, look at the incredible response you are getting just on this thread. Personally I think the accounts from EOC should be transfered across with no items, that way we do not lose the years of effort we have put in. I quit this game when eoc came out but if you transfer accounts to this 2006 server I would be willing to not only renew my membership but also pay a higher membership fee. I think many people feel the same way. The vote will pass either way but if you didn't make everyone lose their stats they worked years to get then this could be an extremely lucritive business decision for you. I know you lost a huge ammount of members because of the eoc and im sure many of them have been checking back every once and a while just for this exact reason. Please transfer account stats. I would even be willing to pay a fee to transfer my accounts levels to a 2006 server.

I like the ideas! However, a lot of the RuneScape community wouldn't be so supportive. A lot of people nowadays feel the need to raise their opinion above others, and this is where society fails us.

I, for one, acknowledge that it's an opinion. If I wanted to say something, I would just debate it out like a civilized person should do. No need for yelling and screaming, it's just our opinions being discussed. That's how I view it, anyways.

That being said, in my opinion, I feel that rares should be added. However, I feel they should be added at a later time. On top of that, the rares should become a non-trade item.

A rare item could also be dropped in the...well, I can't even think of it. It could be dropped in a Drop Party in Falador! This would surely bring back Nostalgia amongst players like me who would run around, lagging furiously, just to get a chance at a good drop when a richer individual stepped up to the plates.

The reason I suggest that the items become non-trade is based around the idea that the economy remains in balance. The introduction of rare items into the future economy could turn into endless spam and useless ranting.

Now what if you were to combine your drop chances with my Drop Party idea? They could drop the amount of rares earned over, oh, say a couple months?

Say you had 200 party hats. Party hats are just an example, this could really be used with any rares. You could drop a party hat every 12 hours or so. It would take around 100 days for all of the hats to drop, but it would be a good balance. Not everyone has a hat, and people have more opportunities to get one as well!

@I Ko Ki Ko I

I agree that the start will be slow, very slow, everything will be DIY/with friends for the first couple weeks. and a skills pack etc would be great but unless its made untradable i feel like it could be abused, especially by gold farmers on the coin starter part, i wish it wasn't the truth but sadly it would happen and the economy will be back too where it was in 2010 where herblore costs you 300m instead of making you 300m. :(

ya its all good bringing it back. but I CANNOT bring back the time i spent on this game (many years) building my character and questing. TO START from SCRATCH is really REALLY ridiculous. I cannot even fathom the time i wasted building my character (although was fun when i played) and to do it AGAIN? is complete ridiculous. we have to settle on some type of compromise. old players would come back (even me) immediately if all their stats/quests were restored. but to think starting over is mind-boggling.
