Good Gods, there are already complaints.
And 350+ pages in so little time....

At any rate, I'm okay with this.
This is actually right about the time I joined.
That year I was actually assigned to make an account for Runescape as a Computer Essentials Class project.


My only concern is whether or not the folk that have been barking for this for so long will actually follow through as they say.
ESPECIALLY with all the complaints already, I fear many of them will grow bored quickly.

If this gets implemented and the playing numbers drop noticeably at ANY TIME, I will lose ALL RESPECT for this community.




It begins.

Support.

As someone who has played off and on since launch, I greatly support this. Runescape has changed over the years into a whole different beast ( Whether for better or for worse is your own opinion ). Runescape was a game that provided a much different combat experience from other games, which is what I enjoyed so much about it ( Not saying that EoC is BAD, its just not for me ). This is a great way for RS to allow older players to return, such as myself, and allow people who prefer new RS to continue playing!

I don't see why people wish to vote against it.

It doesn't harm you in any way, so... Why vote against it? That's just pointless. I guess I can understand wanting to express your opinion on it, but since if doesn't really have any impact on you whatsoever. The only thing you would accomplish is hurting other players.

Anyway, that aside. I hope this will please some players who dislike EoC. I probably won't do it due to having to start over, but I'll still vote in favor of it. :P

May Saradomin guide you!

This is awesome!! But just one question...

Will we get to keep our items and stats and bring them to old RuneScape?

If not, please make this an option so we don't have to play 2007 as noobs!!
You peer into a Chapel of Zamorak, which appears to be abandoned. Before you can close the doors again, a Revenant Chaos-Bringer flies at you and slays you instantly with a bolt of Shadow Lightning. Oh dear! You are dead!

If you're really gonna do this make the servers like the RSC servers. They exist, fix bug, never updated. If you start making content for an 07 server then you're just going to end up with 2 separate runescapes.

Also while the poll being members only is a good thing whats to stop gold farmers making members accounts and auto-voting again. Pretty sure a 1 month subscription on 100 accounts would be worth it for them in the long run because then they could just make more accounts and bot on the free version of 07 servers and current RS to make even more money. (although i guess they could just do that with current rs now so who knows.)

Possible way to stop this: Accounts must be 1 year old to vote. For all the new members ya it kind of sucks but even then they don't really know the old system anyways so they shouldn't care. also this would stop rich people from being able to sit at home and make accounts buy them members just to vote.

Wow, a chance to start rs all over again with realistically obtainable end-game gear and no rich-poor gap to start with? Even though this would mean going back to meleescape, I am interested.


I have grown fond of the eoc, but I realize how important this is to a lot of players and will vote in favor of it. However I feel that the vote should be decided by members only; we do not need a massive number of 2nd, 3rd, 4th f2p accounts rigging the vote.

Make it avaliable only to accounts older than, say, 3 years.

Everyone vote! You don't lose anything from voting! Please just do it for every player who wants the old game! You lose nothing from voting, and gain more people playing the game again, which makes jagex more money, which means jagex may rethink micro-payments (possibly) :)

Faith is restored!

And everyone vote! Lose nothing from it! :D

I support this. Though I don't want to admit it, I've checked the updates on Rs' home page nearly daily, waiting to see them revoke the EoC. Sadly, they chose to do this instead, but this is still much further a step in listening to the community than they have taken previously.

But as always, there's a catch. Only CURRENT members can vote.

I've played runescape with many friends for over 5 years, and I've purchased multiple friends memberships solely for the entertainment and fun this game provided. However, I'm afraid that purchasing a membership now would literally only serve in my being able to cast a vote**

**;DR - I see why you made the vote members-only, but possibly accounts that have had X amount of months of membership in the past would have been a better way to go, rather than making a poll you pay for.
