This could easily work. Despite me being in favor of perhaps later year servers, I shed a single tear of joy. As long as we can reach enough votes, consistent updates can be made to the old servers. I know for a fact that I'll be making a pure! I'm all game for paying as much as I need to except I can not pay with Paypal. This is my only issue. I can really only pay with cards so unless there's a card that would enable me to do that, I wouldn't have access to a 2007 server unless we reach enough votes!

I believe that RuneScape should support servers for members on RuneScape classic the '07 version and the current EoC version. Note F2P should only be supported by the current EoC version of the game, This applies to all future updates. Quests and skill updates should only occur on the most current version of RuneScape (ie. F2P supported version.) This Is The Way...

In all honesty, we will hit 250k votes without a problem.. If we do happen to reach 750k is there a possibility that you could implement 2010 graphics, and the grand exchange along with other things leading up to the 2010 era. Nothing farther than 2010 should ever hit this new branch of runescape. Pass this message on if you agree with me.

Even tho I am quite happy with eoc I will vote yes to the 2007 rs to allow those who want it to have a chance to play the game they want. I think a lot of us members will vote on your behalf for it, as I would like to get it to the level that there will be ftp 2007 as well. One of the things I loved about runescape was the way people who couldn't afford members were still able to play and level up in the skills available.

There were people who stayed with runescape classic, so as far as I am concerned, I am happy to support those who want 2007 version, even tho I will stick to the eoc version myself. I think this is a real compromise by jagex to provide something backdated for their members who want it, and they are governed by what back ups they can restore to working order. I think its great they did find a backup tthat went back to that time.

Free to play players need to be eligible for votes. I don't see why players who have no interest in the current p2p have to renew their membership just to vote for this, when the wilderness referendum is for all to vote and not limited to p2p or not.

There is a majority bulk of old school pure f2p players who will vote for this, but they don't just jump to p2p for voting. They stay pure f2p for their own reasons. Besides, old school players who have quitted or retired for some time wouldn't want to become member but be unable to vote to play at all.

If you truly care about restoring the servers, you won't ask for people to be members to restore it. I hope it's not a gimmick to get players back to P2P. As I honestly speak.

Jagex you must not give in to those wanting stats/items transferred but keep it so all players start out at level 3!

Why?

- Fair Start
-Gives time for all players to contribute to the economy
- Encourages growth due to the rarity of items at the beginning
- Players are saying how many will quit due to the lack of items and trade but this will honestly teach players to be more patient and to value a positive economy since RS2's current one is over inflated.
- By transferring over items/stats you are basically adding "Discontinued Rares" in the sense that many players will make millions and even billions by using their skill/item advantage compared to others.

^ "Jagex have stated that they do not wish to recreate the effect that partyhats have had on RuneScape's economy." - The Runescape Wiki

If you give players the opportunity to transfer items/stats you are allowing that effect to re-occur on this new retro server. Please don't allow the 07's economy to be effected by the transfer of player stats/items!

If you agree please re-post, and if not please re-post why !
