I'm so glad 07 rs is coming out but the thought of having to start fresh kind of frustrates me. I want to be able to relive the old days on my MAIN account (eoc acc w.e) I spent six long years getting to where I am. I guess it would repel me from playing 07 rs. I absolutely HATE eoc and I think it's the worst update ever so I probably won't play on that. I just wish you guys would understand why I'm hesitant to play rs anymore. It's like a kick in the face either way for me... :( Recruiting for Roasted PVM clan! 160+ strong

as a player from 2002 and seeing that you're going to make everyone start from level 3 is just ridiculous, i dont have the time to train my stats to what they were, i dont understand why we cant have our stats right before eoc came out where the "old RS" was left behind. make my stats on the eoc servers all level 3 cuz i obviously quit for a reason and dont give a **** about that, if stats are going to be transferable i will vote for the 2007 server, if not im not paying you guys 20$ to restart from level 3 and quit in a week because killing cows and chickens is a joke

Just look at the highscores and go to the last page and you will get roughly the amount of current RS members (including trial accs).
So yeah I think it might reach 750k and I hope it does really.
(I know that trial accs can't vote)

Well you've given these players what they asked for "Old Runescape". I read the first 30 pages of these thread, but most of it seemed the same, so posted here now.

Good job on making the "poll" members only. If players are serious about this proposal then they can show their commitment by putting their money where their mouth is. Also good that you are not allowing trial/f2p vote, as we all know that this would bring forth a torrent of "voting bots", as what happened with free trade/wildy vote.

I think it's fair that everyone starts on the same level, gives an even base for everyone. I may even consider having an account on a 2007 server, just to supply the pkers with items as a skiller lol. Was what I did back then. Don't allow imports of accounts from 2013, as most of these players will have come from a ps, and there they have to start from lvl3. Shouldn't make any difference to be honest.

I think the voting targets are realistic, I have read that a ps had 500k registered members. 250k+ votes will bring the price of a 2007 server down to an additional $5 a month, and if the 500K+ goal is met, then no extra membership fee. Considering the amount of players posting about this over the last several months, 250k is doable goal. I doubt you will get a "jaw dropping 1.4 million votes", but let's hope the vote can gain 500k+ votes, so additional costs are not involved for players .

I will probably vote "yes" to help these players out, but unsure if I'll play 2007 servers.

"The poll will be live on the website this Friday 15th February for two weeks."

Good luck
