To all the fence sitters and nay sayers.

The 2007 Runescape(ORS) will be online Friday so if you want to play it free, you have to be a member for at least 1 month so you can vote or you can stay on the fence with the splinters where you sit.If you stay on the fence, you will pay more later on cause we did NOT get at least 500k for no extra charge.

@Malcolm X

VERY WELL WRITTEN
Thank You!


Re:

"There's a calm, but quiet lull during all of this celebrating that's making some good points: "We're not kids anymore! We don't have time to retrain our accounts and feel like our hard work has gone to waste because of Jagex's EoC mistake!"

While a vocal bunch of you seem very intent on "starting anew", you forget the downsides including: plagues of bots, months before the game stabilizes enough to be enjoyable, and lack of ambition to retrain the same stats people already have. Listen to the voice of reason, most of us in favor for stat transferal are older players in our 20's looking to play casually with the accounts we created as kids.

We're also viewing the downsides of starting anew via a logical lens rather than being emotionally driven like many of our younger, less hormonally stable kin. "

Not sure this part is quite right...
"What we need is stat crossover! Wherein players can train up their skills in the overwhelmingly more efficient 2013 server, and then bring them over to the 2007 server to PK/PvM with a separate bank."

I believe This is a very big step for jagex.
And I just bought Membership after 3 long years for this cause, But not everyone are as fortunate as me when it comes to membership, In NO way can we reach 500K votes.
So Jagex is kinda like buy membership to Make OSS better, and if not too bad for you.
We won't work on it at all... and you pay $$5 extra when people cant even pay the cost of $7.95 for the main game...
Its pretty Dissapointing.

Surely there is no risk attached to voting.

Sure, those that cancelled years ago like myself have to pay one month at £4.95 but that then earns you the right to vote and a free month of RS07, regardless of the poll outcome.

If it doesn't make 500K and you don't want to pay then simply cancel your membership. Your first month of RS07 will be free so there is no risk as far as votes go. If everyone just paid for the standard membership and voted I reckon we could make 500K.

right, just a thought....... seeing as everyone is level 3, that means nobody is 'trained' enough to make some of the basic items such as runes, arrows ect....

WEAPONS:-
in my opinion, you should not start off with the usual 25gp/axe/hatchet/bread/shrimp.. you should be able to choose what character you want to be.... for instance to stop there being a massive rush on trees to fletch for bows.. you start with 1k brones arrows instead of the 25 or so you used to give us... when it comes to runes, maybe give us 100 airs/minds....

ARMOUR:-
as there will be nobody with bandos/armadyl/barrows at the time because noboidy can use it... people will have to kill the boss themselfs for the armour because there will be nobody having the armour... making the point that everyone was annoyed at pre-eoc that the rich were too powerful...

Melee weapons and armour, nobody will be 99 smithing anytime soon, so there will be nobody in rune?

MISC:-
simple things like Lobsters, Sharks, Tuna, Potions, Herbs will be rediculously expencive because nobody can afford them.. making them, null and void... bones for prayer, hide for crafting... they will be all far too expencive, making everyone rich richer, and everyone poor poorer.....


Solution:-
when you log in... you get a option screen on what you want to be... if you choose to be a 'skiller' then you have 1 of all pickaxe/wc axe.... comes up to about 60k or something silly like that....

if you choose to be combat... you get a set of armour, and a choice of weapon for example longsword/scimitar/sword, a bow, a certain amount of arrows.. and a few runes...


another thing i'd like to add... is when EoC first came out Jagex and mod mark said about the servers will never run together.. in my opinion, and i know you said its not viable... but why not just change the combat style back to pre-eoc, with dungeoneering with summoning with farming (i cant remember if it was out at that time)... and then everyone you enticed into the game from

from 2007-2012, will still want to play...

also, random items from random events.. how will you intergrate those into the game, im proud of my robin hood hat.. and my rubber chicken from 2005,


i think your plan is flawed because in 6 years time, you will have the same outlook as you have now..


another thing is, you spent so much time investing into EoC and its failed... can you see EoC still being here in the future? looking long term, with so many people wanting the old combat style, can you honestly say you think EoC will last... ive had many people log on and renew there membership now they know there is a pre-eoc server coming out, but what i dont understand is where EoC will go, I can guarentee you that your fancy suited executives wont keep both servers running for 3 years, because of how much EoC will have failed.... Why not just cut your losses and keep dungeoneering, keep summoning and just be ballsy enough to Admit you were wrong (aimed at mod mark)

you say how, 'it was the players choice for eoc' because there was a poll on it.... just because there was a poll... why not actually go out onto world... go to pvp places, such as clan wars, castle wars, and ask them what they wanted.. thats who it would effect most, pkers and pvmers.. i can guarentee that 90% of pvm'er from pre-eoc didnt vote because basically they either couldnt be bothered, or when they played they were pvm'ing and pvping....


in my opinion, you've not screwed up, but you've made a massive mistake CEO.... the sooner you have the guts and the balls to admit it, the sooner that rs will become thriving and become the game it used to be!
