Question for Jagex.

If we are still at level 1 or 2 (50k and 250k votes respectively) when the poll ends, is it possible that you'll eventually upgrade the oldschool server to level 3 or 4 after enough time passes with public demand or enough money is gained to break even/make it a financial success?

I think starting from scratch is the best option. I don't remember people complaining about starting from nothing when Runescape Classic was re-opened.

Also, in my opinion, having stats transferred to these 2007 servers will let the higher-leveled players take control of the economy (Although, with little money in circulation, what economy will there be?).

It will be interesting to see how everything unfolds. :)

Suggestion: Rename the DDP++ to DD(s) Please!

Super Sharp 'Me' has noticed I've been posting on 2 threads on the same subject.
I'm not certain this is good practice? So Just in case,
I apologise. I thought I'd give both threads a little highlight.

Higher level players would not control the economy if your stats get transfer.

First of all if you played in 2007, like most of you preach you do, then you wouldn't have to worry about having to do all of the quests and stats you already spilled blood, countless hours and labor on if your stats get transferred because you EARNED IT.

Everyone who will be playing this server has had the experience to make it to the top.
I doubt that there is going to be any new players in the 2007 server, mostly all veterans and pkers.

If your stats don't get transferred 2 horrible things are likely to happen.
1st: the demand for bots will be overwhelming and will ruin the economy in the long run.
2nd: if everyone starts the same"as lvl 3's" wouldn't you think that the people who have more time on their hands will be more likely to succeed and therefore controll the economy?
Let's face it, we don't have enough time like we use to back in 2007 to train.
I know it would be fun to see what it would look like if we all started equal, but not everyone will play it fair. people will bot to get to the top, people will skip school, work to play or share accounts. things will never be equal, they need to transfer our stats so we can get the economy going and get back to what we love doing faster.

and hey, if you want to re-live your whole rs childhood, then simply make a new account in the server, don't let other people suffer and get what they already have worked hard for,

thank you.

"Why members only? Members don’t represent all interested potential players...

Our current members are the ones we know for sure are committed to RuneScape and have the biggest stake in our future. "


I'm calling BS on this one. No matter how much Jagex tries to pretend to care for their customers they never will. I was committed until you decided to throw away the game.

I just can not commit to something I just do not like.

Jagex wants the votes to be under 500k.

Don't understand why old players or free players are reluctant to vote. You buy membership for 1 month, you vote and then you cancel membership. Everyone gets 1 month free 2007 runescape membership anyways so really you're not wasting money.
