Although I understand that this is what a lot of the community has been asking for, I just can't convince myself that it will be anything like what it used to be. While I can see the support for it coming in, I don't believe a majority of people will stick with these '07 servers, especially considering a seperate membership cost which is almost certainly going to be there. I may try it for a time, but as a whole I find that the EoC is more enjoyable to play and the lack of content will be a turn-off. I think a lot of people who wanted the EoC to be removed were thinking nostalgically about PK'ing and how it used to be, but in all seriousness it will never be the same. You can bring back the old graphics and mechanics of the game, but the old community will never be restored. I've seen people say that in a year it will become nearly as dead as classic, but while I don't believe it will become completely obsolete, I do know that it will flop and lose popularity after the first few months. In conclusion, I did enjoy the game back in 2007 and i would like to relive those days, but it just won't be the same. I sincerely hope that other people will be able to enjoy the game just as they did back then, but I just can't.

I read the first couple pages. I would like to point out that even with how bad private servers are they get thousands of supporters. There are 3 runescape remake servers right now with a hefty amount of players I can think of, and they are terrible. one server particularly was shut down that had over 20,000 donations of either 2$ or more and 500,000 registered, and this was a illegitimate server with no guarantee of success. There is plenty of interest, just like there are people who love runescape classic and still play it today even though its so limited, there will be people who think the same of rs2 who want to play it again, far more so than classic just because it was the version so many started in and enjoyed.

Thank you jagex, I will be reactivating all my old accounts just to vote.

not really sure what was so great about 2007, i started playing back in 05, had multiple accs, pked, skilled, did pvm etc. skilling was a ***** for xp/hr and you basically just stared at your screen while doing it or you afked which isn't even really playing the game , just watching or doing something else so you don't get bored. there was less bosses, overall less to do , i can honestly only see a benefit in this to pkers since eoc really screwed up pking. otherwise 2007 wasn't much better , for those saying the community was better, that's a just a load... there was tons of crap going on in 2007 just like there is now l0l , going to be funny when all these people pay for 2007 just to realize it wasn't even that good.
