Jagex,

I began playing RuneScape roughly 8-10 years ago. I came back about one week ago, because my wife started getting into the game, and we always game together. The 2007 version of RuneScape will be the reason that my membership never subsides. Playing even now, while I understand that this is RuneScape 3's development we're talking about, pains me. Please take this as no insult, RuneScape is a colossal achievement amongst gaming period; but it will never be the same RuneScape I played throughout my childhood. If the restoration of RuneScape 2007 goes through, I believe there will be many roads to trek and obstacles to overcome. Such as previous comments stated. Namely--The economy. Rares, etc. I think that if this does go into effect, and 750,000+ votes do occur, that certain previous events in RuneScape history should happen once again, in real-time. Such as Party Hats, Santas etc. That will be the element, if mentioned before the polls close, that make or break this development.

I posted a very heartfelt letter on the forums on my old account, Jwjp93. This was about a year or two ago when I came back with a 1-month membership card for nostalgic purposes, and the Taverly-in-Ruins update came out. That day, I wrote my letter stating why I was leaving RuneScape for good. Obviously I've come back since, but that's because the bones of this game leave an imprint in any players mind, whether or not they mock the ideas, past or present.

I will be voting yes to bring back RuneScape 2007, and I want to thank you for even considering this. Even while I play, it still intrigues and captures me--But the, dare I say Adrenaline, used to be real. Despite my age and how I've grown in ten years, I will still get that rush with RuneScape 2007. From a veteran player, you have my gratitude. Whether or not this goes through, I won't forget your consideration to the original RuneScape, and not just the genesis.

Thank you,
Joshua Powers

Mr. Gerhard : this is an awesome decision to bring back the classic version. I will be in unless the cost is at your maximum.
A Few simple question if you will . How do you expect to get the older ex-members to come back if they are not aware of what is going on ? I am only 1 of thousands that have had friends leave in double digits since E O C. I do not have any contact info for them , it is against the rules remember. Just looking at your proposal brings false hopes in the light of this decline in enrollment.
Would it not be better to offer this access to members on a basis like dungeoneering . This would do 2 things for the both of us. It would not put me in the mind set that your are just after my cash, which it has written all over it, and care as much as we do. if you are worried about the funding and enrollment issue, well it will correct itself in time. at least 8 of the 14 members in my ex clan stated if the old Runescape would return so would they. I do not think that most of them would pay extra for the service though. Like any good Business you must invest in your products and services and not expect a profit the first day. this is what a lot of us are seeing. all of us are excited here about this but there are to many if's and' * or but's in what you propose.
What I'm trying to say is excellent idea my friend but wrong approach.
Respectfully Your Consumer.

Who am I kidding no one will read this...lol Minor

If the 2007 server means I have to be a level 3 againn, hell NO. I've been playing since 2006 and disagree. Some ppl actually have a life and don't wanna start from scratch again ! It would be extremely hard to get 99's without soulwars. Your all fools, runescape changed for the better. There r bots? IGNORE them. Gamblers? IGNORE them. ALL my chats are ALWAAYS off so It's fine by me. 2007 was nothing.. it was much harder to get anything back then sorry.

MY opinion.

A quick message to all those who are in the opinion you should keep your current stats:

How could you justify this?

Tons of new methods of training have been released since 2007, making it extremely unfair to anyone in that timeframe. Where you can train slayer for instance 5-6 times faster than you could back then, you'd be abusing the fact that you trained your skills after 2007, which would be unfair.

I don't think most of you guys considered this.

I know when I trained anything back then it took some real time, it would be a shame if you could 'rush' an account in the EoC and then transfer it to the 2007 server!
