I just wanted to put my own word out there about this. I have been playing Runescape for around 7-8 years, and I grew up playing it. I feel like I am different than a lot of the community though because I throughly enjoyed the 'old' Runescape and now enjoy the 'new' EoC Runescape. I used to be a member, but I personally don't have the money to pay for it lately, but I have been here forever it feels like. I personally believe people shouldn't try to put down Jagex for charging for things because all in all the money from members and micropayments pay the bills which keep the servers online, so we can keep playing. The game before was "old school", yet it was still a lot of fun, but things weren't as balanced and were a lot harder to do back then, and we always had problems with botters too. The EoC Runescape has great graphics, a bot-catching system, and better balanced combat in most areas though it doesn't feel as homey and comfortable as the old Runescape. The old Runescape holds deep meaning to me cause it reminds me of when me and all my friends would get together and go on quests to slay demons and just help each other out and have fun, but things were tougher for us back then. I remember that it was hard to earn money since one time me and my friends all got together and mined, chopped wood, fought monsters, fished, and ect, yet we still only got like 100-300k if that. Now, I am one of the only ones out of my friend that still gets on at all it seems, but now it is easier to do anything on here which makes life for me on the game cooler. The community has changed over the years, and I think everyone misses the old community cause there was a kind of family feel to it back in the old days. When I first started, some random guy ran up, and gave me some good armour, a weapon, and food and tools to get me started. Now, it is more likely to get scammed out of the bronze sword you got in the tutorial. It isn't a problem with the game. It's a problem with the folks.
