If everyone is going to start fresh and all items will be gone...

How will there be any rares in the game if all of our accounts start fresh?

LET US PICK UP FROM WHERE WE LEFT OFF. Don't reset accounts, don't import anything from rs now. Just let us login and continue from where we were!


We don't want to start from scratch!

I will vote yes if I can get a response to this. I need to know.. ^_^

Yesyesyesyes!!! Okay. A couple key points. First off, I'd like to extend a huge thank you to the Jagex crew for even considering this. I've been in full support of a project like this for awhile. While yes, I'd prefer a 2006 version, I also completely understand why that would not be feasible. So if 2007 is the best available, more power to you.

I'd also like to add a suggestion into the mix. Understanding that you are a business, and as much as we may not like it, revenue is the most important thing for any business, I can see where you are coming from when you make the vote members only. But I'd like to suggest a free player poll as well, just so you can see how many new members you might receive were this to happen. Also, what about ex-members who terminated their payments because they grew unhappy with the game past this point? I was a member back in 2007 (not on this account though. I don't even remember which account) and I'd be more than happy to pay the membership again to go back to 2007. But as a free player now, I cannot officially give you my input as you are allowing the members to*

**;dr Great going Jagex. Thank you for at least attempting to implement our feed back. But free players CAN make up a portion of your incoming revenue, if pay as much attention to us as your current members. I was a member then, and I would do it again for 2007, so any money that I WOULD put into it should also allow me to vote and voice my opinion.

And many people I see are also complaining about starting over, and losing their stuff. You don't lose anything. You get a separate character in new server

Also, those of you who are members and are able to vote, please do. Even if its not something that you personally support or look forward to, it would be 5 seconds of your busy day to help out hopefully at least the 750k others who do, with no ill effect towards yourself. And if you started playing after 2007, and are a member, you won't want to miss this. I guarantee it

Ok, I'm not an active RS player and I started playing in 2004. TBH Jagex, I ******* hate you right now. BUT, if you released these servers, I will probably fall in love with you again.

Also, I want these servers back so badly I would gladly pay triple membership just to get the chance.

So Jagex you finaly saw that EoC was a terrible idea so now your trieing to bring back people that quite? You want me to pay you to open this server? I would have been more than willing to pay before but now that you just screwed the main game up completely I still will not come back. There are plenty of clone private servers out there that I will continue to play and donate to. You shouldnt bring this back, it just returns memories of how badly you messed Runescape up.
Besides why would anyone want to play this? It will end up just like classic. You guys wont support it and it will be over run by bots and scammers. In classic I had someone boting at hill giants for a week, I also reported him every single day. He was never banned, this will happen on these servers. This will create very unhappy players.

This wont work. I would have supported this to no end before but now that I have a life in the Marines, life inside runescape 2007 just seems like hell to me.

-OORAAH!

Actually laughable that you're going to set such unrealistic goals for this game to come back within reason. The fact that you need members to vote is an utter joke. Half of your current members, whether you want to believe it or not, are bots. You currently have 500k~ account with P2P so every single person would want to have to bring it back for a reasonable game to come back basically. Your FAQ's say people should "buy membership to show their support". That is the biggest money grab on earth. I was playing during 2005, actually enjoyed the game at the time, but have completely quit for what you've done with the game because it is no longer fun. I am not going to spend my money to be able to vote on this just to be granted something you should be bringing back and keeping free and with a reasonable support team to deal with bugs/ reasonable account issues etc.

I guess I had hoped for too much out of Jagex. Only thing that matters now is money and that's all you're looking for.
