No.

No no no. Why is Jagex even humoring this idea. They must know that the playerbase never knows what it wants and is on a never-ending nostalgia trip that can only lead to disappointment. If and when they release 2007 servers, they will flop after a month or two; they'll go the way of RSC. I will be legitimately annoyed if they end up dedicating any resources to this, especially at a boost to membership fees. Just no.

Jagex, at least let those of us against it *vote* against it. Don't tell us to just sit back and not have a say. This will be a waste of resources and you must know it.

There are 1.8m people on the highscores, of which around 1m have a total lvl of 34

that leaves around 800k legit members

granted some people will renew membs just to vote, but I still can't see 500k people voting, 250k maybe

As long as this is commercially viable, I see no problem with it. I would hate to see this be set up due to players rushing to vote to experience the 'glory days' only to lose interest after a few months.



I hope there is a huge margin of safety built into the budgeted expenses. Nothing would be more disheartening to players than to see this project launched, only to be scaled back in six months due to lack of funds.



As a side note, the current game is my favorite by far. I think those that are wanting old servers are looking through rose-tinted nostalgia glasses. If this project is viable, however, I think it'd be cool for those that want this to actually get this.



Edit to address the top post on this page:

I agree partly. The player-base has no idea, on average, what it wants. This project is supported mainly through nostalgia. If you read, however, it says that the increased membership fees would be to those that want access to this project.

Jagex can hardly even maintain EoC servers, theres still massive bugs from beta that haven't been fixed.

They suck at running EoC as it is, now you are focusing efforts on going back in time?


Literally how stupid can you be? How can a company profit hundreds of millions of dollars, yet have no actual business sense... ?
