Lol waste of money? As an RS vet I have witnessed the thousands and thousands of people who have quit the game because of drastic changes and would love to RE-SUBSCRIBE to play rs 2007. It's not a waste of money but a very wise investment. Sure it is costing them money to get the servers up and running but it will be nothing compared to the amount of vet subs they will receive when the server launches. Hence the poll to see whether or not this decision will be profitable. Jagex is a successful business and they know exactly what they are doing. :|

2007 was the year I started playing RS so I would enjoy a nostalgia visit to a 2007 server ^_^ but I wouldn't want to start all over again and have to pay extra for it into the bargain. I can't see me enjoying the old-style game play for long, now I'm used to all the changes that have happened over the years - I don't just mean EoC, I mean all the new graphics and everything else too.

I won't vote for this but I wouldn't stand against it - I don't mind the fans of 2007 style RS getting a chance to go back in time, as long as it doesn't have any negative impact on the current game.

thank you for this and I hope it goes through!

2 questions though,
1. we start from fresh that is ok by me but would I still have my bunny ears and scythe if I start over in that server?
2. will classic still be open, providing 3 different game version choices?

To be honest... I'll probably stick to EoCscape. Even though I don't like it nearly as much as pre-EoC, I would like a game that is never updated even less. If I wanted that I would have left at the introduction of the EoC and found a private server.

But I still may end up leaving rs entirely since it's starting to feel like just another MMO and all the updates are starting to feel like filler updates or ones that were thrown together and/or not tested well.

The bottom line is, this is going to be a complete waste of time unless there's a boost in XP and a very low amount of quests required to do basic things on the server.

People miss PKing and they miss the nostalgia of 2007. People don't miss doing quests or spending months on end training their skills to be able to go PKing efficiently. I'm not saying make it easy so every one is 126, but definitely increase the XP.

The majority of people that miss old Runescape are in their late teens or early twenties by now. They have jobs, college and even families to attend to. They simply don't have time to re-max everything that is needed to go Pking, regardless of how much interest they do have in the actual PKing itself.

That's my two *****, I'm sure some will agree as it's common sense.

Thank you for finally putting this up as a poll. It really gives me hope for the game once again. I know it is a members only poll, but is there any possibility there can be a free poll aswell? I'd just like to see how the numbers fit out to be, considering many people quit that wanted a server like so.
