Great job Jagex! Respect for listening to the 100k+ of players who wanted this, i think the votes are a bit excessive and $15 is a bit to far. But none the less great job. I think if its 2007 it should be December 2007 or early 2008. G.e And Godwars were good updates.

here is some thing to concider...

no one will have any skills... every one will be starting with a clean slate..

there wont be any one on the high score board... which means you have a chance to be the number one guy...

I have a number of questions, since you're apparently listening to everybody now :) Almost 10 year veteran btw.

I just bought the gold membership package about a month ago. Will I have to pay additional fees for this service if the amount of votes calls for additional fees?

A good idea would be to offer an additional package for this. Like, players that have gold, can now buy a separate and cheaper additional 12 month package for the 2007 server.

Also, If i don't have to pay additional fees and am able to play on this account for free, will i be forced to use the login name that i made when i was like 10 years old? I (and many other players) would really appreciate the ability to choose your display name. Only once though. Before you first log in. Not a once per month thing.

Will rares be a part of the game? Rares have always been a huge part of runescape but I would only see them as a problem if they were placed into an eco-reset server filled with players that are wise to what these items can potentially be worth. Private servers (remakes) that have done this have had their economy controlled and destroyed by this because of hoarders and merchers. Think carefully about whether rares should be dropped.

Jagex, I personally believe that the entire game should not be released right from the get go. As we all know, it will be a huge race to see who can get the first whips, godswords, barrows items etc. I think that higher level content should be introduced slowly. In the form of maybe weekly content updates. Because the game would be imbalanced. Barrows items being relatively easy to get compared to rune items that need 90+ *mithing to make for example. Of course this would depend on the popularity and the number of votes this gets. If anybody has any arguments against this i'd love to hear them. Maybe i'm thinking to much into it. I'm not afraid to admit that i've played on private remake servers and they slowly introduced content and it felt right.

Logged in just to comment here. I randomly checked the rs homepage after being away for a year. Couldn't believe my eyes! I'm a 2004 veteran so I'm definitely going to support this :D

I'll be buying membership just to vote Yes!

For all of you complaining about having to pay to use the new servers if they came out...


"Level 1 - 50,000 or more votes:
2007 servers will come back... with an additional membership fee of around $15.

Level 2 - 250,000 or more votes:
2007 servers will come back...with an additional membership fee of around *5 extra.

Level 3 - 500,000 or more votes:
2007 servers will come back... with no extra membership fee.

Level 4 - 750,000 or more votes:
2007 Servers will come back...with no extra membership fee and the free portion of the game available to all."


If they get enough votes, you won't pay an extra dime.


Also, those of you complaining about having to be a member to vote...

Members are the ones who give Jagex the monies to fund all of their work. YOU wouldn't want to work for free, and neither would anyone else! The people who are actually funding Jagex's work SHOULD have the say in what happens to the game...since they are the ones putting in more than leisurely time. The fact that members pay means that (usually), they have more faith and investment in the game, and they stick with it through the good times AND the bad (unlike, from what I've seen, the people who cancel their membership when things don't go 100% their way...)... and hence should be the ones who get catered to.
