"I'm not looking at this from a business prescriptive, the highest numbers would be the most obvious choice. I'm looking at this from a player perspective with the intentions of being fair. 250k players may not "quit" but they will eventually stop playing the EoC sever for good because the sever numbers will be so low sort of like what happen with classic."

Ramous.. the player perspective has been ignored by jagex for years. They are a business and MUST look at it in a business perspective. Without money, there is no company or game.

Comparing RSC to the situation is like looking into a barrell of apples saying "they're all good" (all the while looking directly at the spoiled orange in the middle of them).

RSC's current state is because of CHOICES jagex made.

This one has a chance to have it's own dev team (paid for by those of us willing to pay to play it).

You're afraid your eoc game will go away.. I get that.. but, I'd have to say.. it's likely to go away anyway.. when there is this much hate on it so many months AFTER it was implemented.

You seem to be suggesting that jagex should turn down money.. that one thing which is absolutely REQUIRED in order for them to keep the lights on.

I simply cannot agree with that. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

To be honest, I just want the game I love back. I don't care about low server numbers, whatever-- I'll do what I need to do myself. I have VERY fond memories of Runescape 2006-2009, however, and Jagex will have earned an active player back in me when they implement RS 2007.

@ Burn

Do you honestly expect Returners to just play EoCscape and not enjoy ourselves at all? We want our 07scape so we can play the game that we LOVE. I infact logged in today, and even made a new toon to check out this new tutorial. I was so Angry when i found out you can't even leave the starting area... without doing the quests.. Seriously?.. Runescape back in the day was Tutorial Island -> and a smack in the butt to lumbridge and was basicly "Now GO! Go do your Thing!". Sorry alot of us are not into EoCscape.. If you were one of us, you would understand.

Statistically Runescape was at its peak with number of player in 2006-2007...

This is how I envision Runescape after the 2007 server.

*2007 sever released and the already low numbers of the "main" servers are cut in half.
*Over a large portion of time players who quit in the past will get wind of the release and join with the intent of only playing 2007 severs while the main sever becomes emptier.
*Main server will essentially turn into RS classic. Player numbers will continue to drop, ratio between bots to legit players will be higher.
*Sooner or later the population will be so low the economy will suck, playing will be difficult and the rest of the players from the main sever will either quit or cave in.

Runescape will find a way to "KIND OF" discontinue the main sever like they did with classic.

I loose 10 years of time and a couple *100 that I put into this account through membership fees.

Their game essentially resets its self, defiantly good for another 5-8 years, solving the end game issue... meanwhile people like me who've been here from the beginning kinda get f'd over. I wouldn't have a problem with this update if they could let us import our stats and items. They did it during the EoC beta and they did it during the transition to Runescape 2 when it became three dimensional.

Sorry to be so negative, but i don't like the fact that we have to start from scratch.
I mean it could be fun at some point like pking and having a fresh new start.

But I don't like the idea of having two different account, and the term of the "community splitting." As I worked my ass off to where my account is, At this very moment.
I just want my account to be able to pk in that server :/ I sound so selfish atm lool but it's my opinion. :) AND IT's COZZ I Trained my ACC to where it is now ^^.

@Ramous 2: Wow. Dude, chill. We have 80k votes at the moment. I assure you that many players are happy with their hard-earned completionist characters and will not transfer over to RS 2007. If anything, it will be 2007 that experiences the "RSC" effect, NOT the main game. I say that as someone absolutely pumped for RS 2007.

It would be pretty cool to have Andrew or Paul manage RS07 IMO.

@Tyria - Everyone was complaining even before EoC was implemented saying "DO NOT DO IT" and JaGex added it anyway thinking it was the right direction.

@Ramous - I've been here from the beginning as well. No one is getting F'd over quit being over dramatic. EoC will eventually kill Runescape and this is probably one of the few options atm JaGex knows will bring them in some money.

Quick flaming Ramous 2 and Ramos. No other true veterans give a **** about restarting. You're just a classic 2K10, EocScape, skill/money hoarding noob that ruined the game.

On a side note I will comment about completionist cape. That cape encouraged legit players to bot because it takes so many hours to get.
