thank you so much, this is what we have all been waiting for. im glad to hear such great news. i knew jagex was listening to us all!
woooo!
thank you ALL for your hard work and im sure everyone else apretiates it as much as i do!
good luck to everyone in the poll, we old runescapers will be there. its a shame that most of us quit because of eoc
vote yes anyway idiot whats to loose? even if u dont play it others will like myself that would do anything even pay 15$ a month for the old runescape and let the BATTLE FOR FIRST PLACE BEGIN!
I'm not sure if it was previously asked, but seeing as the cut off date is going to be august and after, does this also include updates introduced in august? Seeing as gwd wasn't released to the 28th of the month, it would severely limit the amount of bossing and higher level pvm players can experience if the cut off doesn't include it.
Thank you Jagex for finally listening to the community, which in previous years you have not been doing. I started playing in 2007 and the game was great back then. Hopefully we can get over 500k votes for the free servers, but if we only have to pay *5 extra, I won't mind that at all.
I'm curious if GWD will be included, as GWD was released on the 28th of August.
I know I'm speaking for myself when I say this, but I like the EOC and I feel like bringing another server will just split up the community.
I just don't want the community to be stretched over two servers.
Please realize that in 2007 you do NOT have:
- There will be NO rares (no santas, h'weens, p hats etc).
- Advanced Agility courses
- Stealing Creation
- LRC
- Summoning
- Dungeoneering
- Many other GREAT updates over the years.
I guess supporters of 2007 servers are aware of this all, but I just feel like people will only train up combat to PK when they feel like it.
There were also MANY MANY bugs and glitches, dupes, and other unfair cheats that were around at that time, who knows if Jagex has a list of all of them, or the resources to re-patch them pre-release.
A few drastic examples I was able to find from that time era are:
- Smuggling bandages into duel arena
- Invisible PK'ing
- Jullage
- Infinite Prayer
- Rune Armour dupe
- Invincibility bugs
If the server is being added as-is, those bugs will all be available for abuse. Seeing as all of them have been "patched", various videos on YouTube show how they were done. Bug abuse videomakers are already taking down their old "how-to" videos so they can abuse them again.
I will still probably vote FOR the servers to help try to get cheaper member fees for everyone who is interested in the 2007 server.
