Dear Jagex,
I think that the evolution of combat has led to a lot of people ultimately deciding to leave runescape. I have been playing runescape for about 8 years and for me, it was like the last straw for many of us. What I mean by this is that years ago whenever there was the old school system of the wilderness, and there was free trade, runescape was at it's peak. But then after various updates such as the bounty hunter system and taking away free trade for a certain period of time, it greatly took away from the credibility that Jagex had established as the developer of this great MMORPG. Many members and non-members left runescape after ***h of these updates. I think that so often you guys tried to fix the game from all of the scammers and botters that were so often present, but for a lot of us it was almost a part of the game. Sure, everyone's been scammed and it sucks. But the updates that you guys decided to make in fixing these problems like taking away free trade was much much worse than getting scammed one time. In addition, I think that what always made runescape for me personally, was its simplistic and basic combat system. I think I speak for many of us "old fashioned" players in saying that we loved that. So after seeing what happened with massive updates like bounty hunter, free trade, and the repercussions that came from that, when the Evolution of Combat was released it was like a slap in the face. Don't get me wrong, some of the updates have been great! The new clan system is fantastic, and I think every player loves training a new skill every couple of years. I personally love the idea of these "old school servers", but I fear that they may not be as good as they seem. When you say "a screenshot of the 2007 servers." What exactly does that mean? We won't have summoning, hunter, or dungeoneering? That sounds terrible. Is there anyway we could have a version of the game with all of the same content as the main game, just without EOC?

I rather eoc because I know how to work with it now. At first I was like OMG I don't like eoc but now I love it. Although I will probably go and check the old school rs once in a while but not often.

The thing is, is that you have to train all over again. If we could of kept our stuff,money and skills (levels) it would be nice.

i joined rs in middle of may or june of 2008, i fell in love with the style and game content. i made my contract with that style.i never lost my membership till eoc was eminent. then i quit do to i HATE eoc.you stold our game we love. yes only 20 % of people who completed beta did not like eoc. but 1000's of members did not like eoc or beta so we did not do or complete it , so we never new about a servey that you call a vote. if you would have notified and publicized that a vote would have been at the end of eoc more would have went threw the agony just to vote no.it was an unfair and unjust servey that is claimed to be a vote.then forced us to quit by one ************ttty update after another.if it was a skills, or mini or quest or patch error. it would have been fine. but adding stores to change rs, or adding content with out a rightous vote for all members is unjust and wrong.you and only you stabbed your dedicated customers in the back. any major update to change the face of the game should be an over all vote. you did an over all vote for wildy to come back. you did not force us all to go pking just to do a servey if we like pking to emplement it. this is the first update that you said a servey is a vote and quarantined it to be biest and unjust. all other major updates you put up for a full members vote. this shows you rigged it, why change the way you do things. ohh wait you wanted to do the change, so you rigged it.

my 2013 client keeps crashing much more than previously, and i'm almost certain it's because of the new servers. I'm not paying more money to start from scratch. I really hope that i don't lose any of my eoc friends. I loved the idea at first, but all these restrictions are ********. Hope the Jagex company makes some FRIGGIN money, i guess.
