everyone should vote there is no reason not too. You may want to play later on even if you don't want to now. When free trade was first an option I voted no. Boy am I glad that we got it back. I think anyone who has membership should vote. That is just the kind thing to do. If you were not a player during 2007 you have no idea what your missing. 2005-2007 were the glory years of RS! EVERYONE VOTE!

"Time to renew my membership.."


Couldn't of said it better myself ... this is worth the 10$ even just to vote.. JaGex if this goes through I can honestly say you've regained my faith as a company. Providing the oldschool servers STAY oldschool.

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!!

PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS AND LET US IMPORT OUR ITEMS AND STATS
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 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.. Zil

For the people demanding pre-eoc servers that isn't entirely possible as even the unofficial wiki documented on the 10th of August 2007 the last COMPLETE backup was made. So any backups made after then was purely designed to rollback the MAIN game which they will not do for obvious reasons (enough people enjoy the EoC, I only really enjoy dungeoneering in the EoC but still).

So stop complaining we got what we voted for a pre-eoc server. 2007 was pre-eoc, vote for it and then try it out, if it isn't for you got back to the eoc, but at least it will always be there for if you ever want to go and play it. :D

To be honest, i dont want 07 servers, it will not be fun as people think. As example
- no d claws of any otter usefull special attack weapon except for gs or dragon items
- no turmoil
- slow hits

I don't think this will be a good update. I rather have the pre eoc game back.

Anyone who was actually around before 2007 will be excited by this. After years of being away from the game, I will be returning if the vote passes. 2007 was a great time for RS, and any true veteran players will agree.

No as an online game, but as an alternative project for that old backup I would propose something similar.

Imagine a day many years into the future and something happens to Jagex leaving all current RS players in limbo. It could be a fire, a major hack, or maybe the company is bought out by a competitor and shut down entirely. Who knows what will happen, but all those accounts we've built up for years are suddenly gone without any way to get them back. We can't even look at our character or admire our bank to remember the good old days, much less show others what we did with our time for many years of our life.

Instead of an online game why not build a self-contained version of RS circa 2007 which can fit on a DVD and be sold as an independent game? It won't have any updates or support, nor will it have bots or any other players. It won't be an online game at all, but rather one I can play by myself on my PC. Regardless of what happens to RS I could still train skills, earn capes, fight slayer monsters (without competition!), build my house, run agility courses, pick up drops, complete quests, chase down clue scrolls, etc. There was no GE until late 2007 so anything I need I would have to work hard to earn, including the mining of pure ess and acquiring rare drops.

Arrange it so I could import my current RS character into that game right now (save it as a separate data file?). I should also be able to copy (not move!) my current online RS bank into the DVD version of the game, but I could not transfer anything back to the online version of RS (an anti-bot measure). Encrypt the code so hackers can't steal your company secrets from the DVD.

To think I could be retired in a nursing home 60 years from now still playing the old school version of RS long after the game or company has moved on to bigger and better things. I'd pay good money for that!
