I fully support this wonderful initiative by Jagex. I'm a veteran player who's been playing RuneScape since early 2004 and I stopped playing in Nov 2007 for the main reason everybody else stopped - The elimination of Freetrade and Playerkilling. I am however, seriously considering re-applying for membership if 2007Scape would come back to life!

And for all of you players who wants to have RuneScape 2010 back or whatever the year may be say after... 2009, the sole reason why they choose to pick the year 2007 was because of its peak during that time. The removal of player killing & free-trade left a vast amount of dedicated RuneScape players in anger and frustration. For those of you who weren't around 2006/2007, you have no idea or whatsoever what this means for some of the veteran players here, choose your words wisely when participating in discussions regarding things you've never actually experienced, in this case The comeback of RS2007.

Can you clarify what the 2007 service will consist of?
We are looking at fully restoring our backup of the August 10th 2007 version of the game and running it on dedicated servers, so that it functions exactly as it did back in the day.
There wont be God wars.. DONT WORRY.. God wars was released 28th of august

The random events like the tree ents and river trolls does a much better job than this current botany bay nonsense. Botany bay does absolutely nothing as you can see except get the same spam bots over and over again. It doesn't catch real botting.

If this DOES come through and a separate old server is released, I'll have no reason not to resubscribe for membership. While I'm not super excited about have to start fresh, being much busier in real life than I was back in 2007, I'd no doubt put loads of time into reliving such a classic.

I hope this goes through, I really, really do.

This is great. I long for time before the Ge. Times when it was a must to go out of your way to heckle and banter over items.

With any luck there will be enough people passionate to generate a good community... If this comes about anyhow.

I would love these servers. But i'm not a member thanks to all the updates i hate over the years. Clearly i'm not a potential customer... even though i payed for years of membership during this years the server are going to be on? What the hell is that? Let vets vote we are the potential player base.

On top of that what the hell is with those prices? $15 a month to play? Maybe getting down to the current membership price... That's going to fail... why bother. I payed 5$ a month and that payed for server maintenance + weekly updates. Now you're going to give us the same server with no updates for the same price? I know Jagex has become a money hungry company but this is pathetic. Servers have only gotten cheaper over the years and very little staff for an outdated game... I would easily pay for this game but you should really rethink your prices. This is not the way to bring back a huge potential player base.

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes.

But one thing. What will happen to the items we have that are made after 2007 when we would log into a 2007 server? Also I wish that there would be some slightly newer items like godswords. I dont know when whips came out but those would be nice to have too.

Why would anyone be oposed to this? Even if you would'nt play on the old servers, wouldnt it be nice to get rid of the complainers?

Oh yeah and im sure most of the people who would for this arent even members anymore. Why leave out most of the potential customer base for this?
