Mod MMG please read.

My main was forum banned yesterday for talking about 2007 stuff in general.

However other people we're talking about it to and didn't get a ban.
Also it didn't say why I was banned and for how long.

Could you please look into it if i tell you the display name ?

@Mod Mmg
Wait, your datacenters didn't have DDOS protection back then?
That's actually a very big surprise for me, wasn't runescape a target back then? Or were the DDOS attacks much smaller back then?

If We hit 750K votes this is going to be amazing :D

''2007 Servers will come back as a separate entity to the main RuneScape game, with a larger dedicated development team''.

Does this mean the 2007 servers will be updated with holiday events?
Meh

@ Anti Hero
Its not a question about if 750k players still actively play, its a questions of how many active players are actually subscribers.

Judging by the many of hours I have spent reading others opinions on the EoC here and various other sites, there are not enough subscribers to reach 750k votes.
The other question on hand is, if there are enough subscribers to reach 750k votes (which I doubt) how many of those are Bots and RWT's?

I can not GENUINELY tell you how happy I am to see this type of update. I personally did a 5 minute dance in real life.

I started runesecape in 2004 (i think... my memory isn't that good) and I played non-stop for 3 years, and then The wilderness disappeared, and Free trade disappeared.

I still remember the first day I quit Runescape for an extended period of time;
January 2nd 2008, After the implementation of, what at the time was considered, a dictatorship.

This brings back SO many opportunities. the Love that everyone had for Player-Killing. Runescape at its finest.

The times when Mage Bank PK'ing in a Torso/Fire Cape was only done by those who dared to risk it all.
The times when Green Dragon PK'ing was emerging as one of the BEST fight spots in all of Runescape, smashing Edgeville intensity and leaving it for rubble.

The days of Maikel Pro, ewhenn, Exiled, Team Brutality, Aggression, DI, DS and many many more PK'ing clans. THE DAYS WHERE THE WORD 'HONOUR' ACTUALLY MEANT SOMETHING!!! THE DAYS WHERE PJ'ING WAS FROWNED UPON AND GOT YOU HURT!

The days where you could PK at mage bank in ahrims, karils and a set of dharoks. where you could MAGE with a damn whip. and you could love the fact that you would hit 30's with ice barrage and there was nothing they could do.

Of course it brings back the times where Jojo has the ability to lure you, but it's all risks. It's ALL about being smart enough to not get lured, to not be scammed. The days where it wasn't controlled and YOU had to fend for yourself. Where merchanting was possible in Fally world 2 and you could make millions off of a few armour sets.

All I know is when this comes back, I *WILL* be there slaying and training. Slayer items will be so inflated due to no one having 85 slayer, and whips will be the best item in the game again.

best part

6 months BEFORE summoning was introduced. Thankyou god. The days of familiars and 138 combat are gone.

@Mod Mmg, I was also wondering if resizable clients would be added? That would be amazing. Back in 2007 our monitors were mostly 800X600 Or a little bigger. But nowadays the old rs client is extremely small on your screen.

I'm going to be honest here:

I like the idea of an older server, but I think many will be disappointed with the graphics end of 2007 after being spoiled by the fresh graphics of now. Full screen RuneScape HD was a beautiful update to the game as a whole and how it was played.

I do like the fact that it's a complete reset. However, I wish there were some way for me to either obtain or retain my bunny ears.

I'm really happy that you chose a time before the introduction of the GE! That was an awesome update, however, ruined much of the social and economical aspects of the game.

Lastly, if we get enough votes to have a small development team, can we have votes/discussions with them for some content to be added to this 2007 server? I absolutely loved the graphics updates, quests, mini-games & friend/clan chats.

Oh! We get those random events again!!!! "gosh dernit! not a swarm now! I'm fighting the kbd!!!!" - or while mining: "I have to take a leak... wtf! how'd I get to the middle of the wildy?!" - haha cool.


added as edit: By the way: Thank you for doing this for some of us old-timers!!! Means alot and restores alot of our respect for you all.
