Jagex, I commend you on your decision to conduct a poll to return 2007 servers.

This would not have been an easy decision. Acknowledging mistakes never is.

Regardless of whether you view this as a cynical cash grab or honest attempt to return Runescape to its former glory, I believe this represents a turning point. Importantly, Jagex are starting to listen. The lines of communication are, once again, open.

It will be interesting to see the Jagex response following the close of the polls in a fortnight's time. The spin in Jagex's response to the wilderness poll was disgraceful. It highlighed Jagex's engrained corporate culture of covering up failure and wrongly celebrating fixes of mistakes. This second poll is significant - it will truly allow us to evaluate whether Jagex has really changed.

I'll be watching with close interest the poll, outcome and Jagex response. I may even renew my membership for the sake of voting.

highscores is now a members only feature, and weather they are bot accounts or not, they require someone to turn that bot on and pay its membership so they will still provide votes.
also not everyone is in the highscores for every skill, and theres a limit to how many people can be ranked (i think 2m) in each skill.

JaGeX and JaGeXmoderators,

I'm glad you guys are listening to the community by releasing an older aspect of the game we all love. But however I don't feel so positive about this, and I feel like my choice is taken away. Many players asked you for an older version of the game because they miss the old hitbars, old armour looks, old combat system, ... But going back to 2007 is going back way to far in time. Everyone I know, including myself, likes a 2007-server but preferes a pre-EoC server. Many people want a 2010-2011 version of the game with the current statisitics they have now but with a complete economy reset.
There is to much money ingame causing to dupes which results in a problem with prices. The drops of bosses aren't profitable anymore and there is way to much money ingame. When we still had random drops in wildy when killing someone a lot of items (bandos, claws, ags, ...) Dissapeared. And that was a good thing. Prices were stable because the ammount of an item ingame didn't drop/rose. My point is that I miss the old runescape like it was in 2010, not in 2007. A game needs some graphics and some work. You should make a poll with asking what year of runescape most people want back. The majority wouldn't ask for a 2007 version, only the youtubers. But don't forget that those people of 2007 are now 20 years or older and they wont be playing this game as much as they did back then. So I'm asking you to give us a chance to choose what older version we like most. So basically i'm asking for a 2010 version with the current statistics and with a complete eco-reset. Please listen to this and make a poll about this. And I know howmuch work you guys already invested in finding a 2007 server and I do respect that. I wish I had a million dollars to invest in you guys for a 2010 version. The game was lots of fun back then in 2010. I can't do more than make a reply to you guys and hope you do the right thing. The 2007-server will cause longterm problems, I'm sure.

Just here to say the only reason I've payed for a subscription is to vote for this poll. Imagine how many others are following suit with me. I want to rejoin this community and I hope my future community members will welcome me and others by helping this poll out.

Everybody should vote whether they will play 2007 or not... atleast help the people that would like to play it and that are willing to pay the extra money, because who knows maybe you might like it and want to start playing. Besides its not hurting you by voting if anything its being the better player by voting and helping the people who want 2007 servers.
