@Ranger, That will be the case if you guys don't get enough votes. Jagex has already announced they would introduce very few to little amounts of updates / macro control to the 2007 servers if not enough votes were obtained.

I doubt that will be the case though even if they don't get enough votes. (Im still expecting around 300-500k).

Not having Anti macroing features will cost Jagex. If they feel there's going 20,000 fewer subscribers a month due to issue's with macroing, That's going to be £100,000 a month they losing (£1.2M annually). Would it be rational not to implement something that would probably cost a small amount to do?

I'm being conservative too, anti-macroing measures will be the pinnacle whether a revenue stream opens up or not. If not the game will be dead within a month.

Of course I could be over estimating Jagex reasoning, which would be odd considering I feel they drastically flawed when it comes to that already.

I just hope they keep it EXACTLY how it was on august 10th 2007.

I dont want them to bring godwars back.
I dont want new graphics. (old style full helms looked so good)
I dont want the x10 hitsplats (or x1million such as in eoc)
I dont THINK i want discontinued to be there.
I definitely dont want the grand exchange. (Falador park is a hugely nostalgic area for me)

The only modern updates which wouldn't affect it too much and may be welcome would be,

Profanity filter
Trade screen alerts (preventing scamming)



EDIT: Oh and to those who think botting will be a big factor, I *an see it to some degree but not nearly as much as the live game now. With few players (50k) I doubt many will gold farm because the demand for gold will be low.
