I want the ability to revoke votes plox. Apparently we were lied to when we were told that "EoC will not be effected". Looks like we already are being effected as our Updates are being delayed thanks to Nostalgiascape.

First of all, thank you guys for doing this, its is extremely awesome. Second I have some ideas for OSRS (Old School RuneScape) that could be beneficial to us all, if we hopefully break the 500,000 mark:

1) Please apply the same update you applied in November of 2007:

Yes, I'm talking about the Grand Exchange. That was one of the good updates not the bad ones. I know some people don't want the GE because of "the nostalgic" affect of bargaining and trading, but a lot of us do want a GE. My solution to this problem is to add the Grand Exchange to certain worlds, like for example, worlds 1-50 would include the Grand Exchange, whereas worlds 51-101 would not. That way people who want to know prices and don't want to stand in Varrock, or Falador, or Lumbridge, or anywhere else for six hours typing "selling dragon med helm" inceasently, while experiencing extreme lag and intense spam will be happy, just as those who want to do that will be happy.

2) A graphical update would be nice
Remember back in the good old days there was a screen with an armored man on one side, and a skeleton on the other. The skeleton represented 'High Detail' while the man represented 'low detail'? That was awesome. Do you know what would be even more awesome? if 2007 players could enjoy the graphics of modern RuneScape, but the gameplay style of 2007. I mean you could play in a graphically enhanced version of the Taverly of 2007, without getting lost in the new Taverly of 2012. Oh and Fullscreen please.

3) Please get us a wiki. Please. I cannot stress the importance of this enough

4) The good features of modern RuneScape should be added to the 2007 Runescape, to create the optimum RuneScape. I mean, add the loadstone teleportation system for example. Add the new bosses, but make them easy to kill using 2007 combat. put in the new music, the new graphics, the new sounds, the new animations, those are good updates, but game altering updates, no thank you. Unless they're awesome, like the GE. :)

adding in servers from 2008/2009 would be awesome, provided that they DO NOT HAVE A TRADE LIMIT AND THAT PKING IS BACK AND THAT THERE IS NO EOC. Adding some worlds where there is no Pking could be awesome to, since some people want to go to the god wars dungeon or the kbd and not be senselessly slaughtered on the way.

A suggestion, for those players who have spent a lot of years on Runescape, cant you make a import account button? Cuz we will have to start from the whole beggining :/ This is my 6th year on RuneScape and I have spent a lot of time building my account up, like skilling, moneymaking e.t.c :)

- Yours gladly and truly The R7! ;)

I have ben playing for about 7 years and have a lot of respect for you, but I realy don't want to start from scratch. in my opinion if u wanted veteran players back its a great start..but I don't think they want to start from scratch as well. I enjoyed classic runescape and eoc was a let down in my case. maybe the team could have a way to switch between classic runescape and current, (current for players who like current runescape) and for those who want to go to classic. and switch back if they don't like one or the other. if there is a way to fix runescape you guys will find it im sure! hopefully this will spark an idea. seth mo Really? Right in front of my rangoons?

Adding in modern updates to the 2007 version DEFEATS THE PURPOSE

Add Godwars, and MAYBE the G.E.

No more beyond that.

I thought of that. That's why I said the GE should be in certain worlds only, whereas the remaining worlds can be free of the GE. That way those of us who want the GE can enjoy it, and those of us who don't can still enjoy a RuneScape without the GE.

And the Godwars Dungeon is already in the game, since it was added on the 28th, and this is the 30th.

Now, these are the ideas that I propose:
Some worlds will remain as they are, 100% true to the original 2007 RuneScape. Others can be tweaked a little. For Example: worlds 1-50 stay as they are now. worls 51-101 get graphical updates, new quests****, but no more than that. As in no game altering updates like a trade limit, no removing pvp, no adding revenants, no EoC. We get all the good stuff of the main game, but without the bad side effects. Like for example, they tweak the Kalphite King, such that he can be slain using normal RuneScape combat. The Old School Kalphite King would be a completely seperate entity from the main game. Nostalgia can only survive for so long, take RuneScape classic for example, is anyone playing it today? even after the relaunching of the server? Barely. We don't want that to happen to our precious 2007, now do we. Now don't get me wrong I don't want to corrupt the 2007 game, I'm saying they should make it better for those of us who just aren't that much into it for nostaliga as much as we are for the love of the game. Admit it, no one wants to type in "selling dragon scimy" for six hours in varrock square.

Personally I don't care if they never update quests, or bosses. I just DO NOT want:
New Skills
Game altering negative updates like EoC or Trade limit or No wildy etc...
I DO WANT:
Updates that make the game better:
Graphical updates
animation updates
GE
etc...

that way it's still the RuneScape we know and love, but better.

Oh and we really need a wiki. Jagex pls
