I am also happy to hear that u are bringing back old runescape i played runescape back in feburary 2001 and i wish u guys can find backup from 2006 but i will be satisfied with 2007 as long as the wildy is back to normal as 2006, i hate the fact that everybody has to start over but u know what it also shows how much interest everybody has to start the game over to have old runescape back so as a 2001 player that has played on and off for years i am glad to say that once 2007 version comes out i am going to be back and i also wanna thank everybody who made this happen and i also wanna thank jagex for making this happen

This is my opinion, i dont mind eoc, but i do not play it anywhere near to what i played old RS. This is great, the community should be better as people discover rushin* is much harder without turmoil, claws and overpowered gear.

I loved the old game, and if this comes back i will definitely pay $30 a month for membership even though i wont play Eoc at all. I miss old things Runescape had like Dragon scim look, rambo dds spec that wasnt 450-450 it was 300-300. Old style gameplay where people were self sufficient, if people needed food, they would fish and then cook them.

I personally am more happy to restart than if i didnt, think about someone walking around in a Runecrafting cape that they gained in Runespan, next to someone who slaved at Double Nats? The two games shouldnt cross except for friends chats.

The community wont leave this game, as many people think because of the goals people will set, i already have set goals for my new account and ill be lucky to achieve them within 6 months. It wont be replaying a game, it will be playing a new game, we will have to learn whats in the game by ourselves, relearn training spots, and the fastest ways to train skills. If you want 99 Strength, you cant camp Armoured Zombies for a week, youll need to find a training spot, and be constantly be banking for food as Prayer potions and 43 prayer will be hard to come by.

Its a new game, that hasnt come out, that i already Know i love, thats how people should see it.

And to the people saying no... This is for us, the community that prefers the old system, the community that had the balls to go into bandos with 70 attack and strength solo. Runescape is too easy, and thats why some people like it, Theres no challenge. Vote to help us, vote to save runescape. This has no effect on you if the vote is passed, it wont take updates from the new game. It will just let us enjoy what we have been craving for a very long time.

If you read this your beast :)

I'm not against this but I got to admit, once the nostalgia wears off and having to level up from level 3 all over again after they put COUNTLESS hours into their main account...

I have a feeling its going drop in players, and rapidly.

Not to mention all those nice fancy expensive items you worked so hard for - all of it won't be coming with you to 07. That party hat you got? Nope. Santa? Sits in your bank. All that millions of GP you accumulated? Unusable on 07.

Those 99 stats? Heh, have fun getting them all over again, now with even more extremely tedious grinding.

Just sayin'

I'm so glad to hear this... but at the same time so disappointed... Do we really have to start from scratch?

Think about it, players have spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours of grinding, do we really have to go through all of that again?

I can understand that the bank simply can not be copied, but earning all that XP again is just demotivating, especially after we got used to modern, faster, XP gain.

Are you thinking of at least allowing some faster XP gain? At least in the beginning, maybe?

I really don't want to bring this up, but I imagine that a lot of "old-schoolers" would go back to playing illegal versions of this game, since they don't require so much grinding.

I'm not complaining about the grinding of the game itself, but come on, we have already been through that.
