First of all, I'm not the type to normally reply on news posts, however this is definitely worth saying thanks for.

I've always had the thought: "If only Jagex would remake 2006scape, I don't care if I have to sub, at least it will be done right and with a decent degree of stability." Seeing that they actually are debating this is incredible. It's going to bring back the glory days of RS, where getting a 99 or doing certain quests is actually prestigious.

The only real question I have, and I'm assuming it's more or less going to depend on the number of positive votes you receive, is how devoted to this remake are you going to be? Namely, are you just going to essentially restore the save and make the changes for stability and bot prevention and then just continue to add minor updates and possibly holiday events depending on the crowd. If said holiday events do occur, will they be in the same manor as it happened back then?

In other words, I'm asking if the server is just going to be thrown up, updated to run decent and then get the basic content in and call it good, or is it going to be updated in a manner to make it the Palestine of private servers?

This is just me hoping that it'll be the amazing server that I always am hoping for and not the ones I am continuously let down by.

At any rate, and I think I can speak for most veteran RS players, that it's good to see the members of Jagex fully listening to and understanding the desires of the community, and taking action upon what has been said.

I'm definitely voting for this, as I hope everyone will. I know there is a ton of people out there that have been waiting for this. So with that being said, we need to crush the poll, not just meet it. Please stop yelling at me...

"Evolution of combat was suppose to be the biggest and best update to hit runescape yet months later they're bringing back old game servers.

Hmm.. seems legit.

Can't wait till this company tanks. "

Action bar mechanics is what the mmo market wants. Teh only reason the update miserably failed is because jagex doesn't have a clue how to market their games. Just look at funorb, 8 realms, and war of legends..they're dead/dieing for the same exact reason.

Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.

Old Runescape thank god. EoC was a terrible, rushed, forced, generic, not thought through addition to the game. Bring back 2007 RUNESCAPE. What were playing now isn't even Runescape. 2007 Runescape was actually enjoyable and fun to play, now its just a chore and nothing but thinking of how it use to be. In 2007, i use to see, "300,000 people playing!" now its "90,000 people playing!" and newsflash Jagex, they are all new players that came within the last two years that know nothing of the old and once great Runescape. Bringing back those servers will bring back a whole entire new, experienced community that loved the game they PAY FOR. Jagex, start listening to you're players more and their feedback before throwing in an update that jeopardizes you're MMO. Stop thinking that you need to update the game so much, 2007 runescape was perfect. The low-detail graphics and the basic combat is what made it enjoyable. Not this complicated, high-detail garbage. Jus* throw in 2007 and do minor updates. LISTEN TO US MORE.

P.S. : STOP WORRYING ABOUT MONEY SO MUCH AND JUST LET US PLAY THE OLD RUNESCAPE WITH OUT THE STUPID "BUY SPINS HERE." CRAP. Jon the Bard

Jagex be very careful when doing things like this. People have hindsight into old bugs that have occurred. One that I can think of off the top of my head is the Player Owned House bug that allowed players to attack others outside of the wilderness. Some other small ones are the Granite Maul infinite special bug etc etc. Just remember this will be a lot of work to hammer out these glitches that people already know about. Or any glitch that has come out since 2007 involving content before 2007.

Thanks,

Chad

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 hyperinflated.
- 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.

++ This also makes potential gamblers completely ineffective until they do Legends Quest which can take a long time to get the requirements for, and since most florists do not have the inclination to actually work for something like this, it renders O'SevenScape safe from flower scammers!

^ "Jagex has stated that they do not wish to recreate the effect that Party hats have had on RuneScape's economy." - The Runescape ***i

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 copy and paste, and if not please re-post why :) !

P.S. This version has correct grammar.
