Ever since the 2007 re-boot, I have slowly lost my interest in playing this game. I stayed true to the gameplay for almost six years but completely stopped one day for my computer broke and I didn't have any interest playing once I found that EOC had taken place of the old system. Now however, I'm proud to say that I WILL re-establish my Membership for this vote and I WILL come back to play if this does indeed come back.

Side note,
An old friend of mine had messaged my wife to check out the Runescape website ASAP. As my internet connection sucks, I half-joked to myself as the page was loading and thinking, "what is SO IMPORTANT about Runescape that he NEEDS me to check out the page, it's not like old Runescape is co---" *page fully loads* I texted my wife "OMFG OLD RUNESCAPE IS COMING BACK!!!"

I'm 22 years old, and the moment I saw this post it immediately brought me back to my high school days of playing getting my old account to become the best PKer because unlike most people these days that worry about only THEIR accounts, old Runescape was a COMMUNITY. Everything was revolved around PKing. The Wilderness was FILLED with people, you run away from one crowd of kids only to run into another clan to chase you down. Those times were probably my best experiences back then and I'd be glad to experienced the untouched version again.

Thank you for letting us have this opportunity Jagex, this is an AWESOME move on your behalf as it would bring back a lot of the old community back. As I said, my friend sent me a message. Think of all the other people out there that have quit since then and THEIR friends send them that message. :) It's gonna be a grand old time!

Every new account made on runescape now gets a free 14 days trial membership.

But wait! you cannot vote with trial accounts.

But wait again! how much it costs to buy membership on trial accounts???

1.98$!

Make a new trial membership account, buy member for 1.98$ , vote and repeat.

If the whole community does this for 7 time, we will get 750k votes easily.

Please share this everywhere so we can reach our goal and unlock f2p on these servers.

Thanks.

@ChronosChaos

Did you even read their post? I take it you didn't.

It says that the ONLY viable backup they had was August of 2007. So no 2006,08,09,10,11 and 12. Get it?

Also all we need is 50k votes to ensure 2007 get's added, and after Mod MMG confirming that the last 2 weeks had 8.2MILL unique ip's I think that'l be a breeze, no doubt we will meet our mark.

"2) On the other hand, you have disappointed many of us with this new idea - the level reset. I do not think that this is fair at all on the dedicated players. Why would we start again from Level 3 when we already have an account and bother to train it on a 2007-server? What is the point in that. I personally think that the accounts that we currently hold should be left as they are - but with all post-2007 weapons, armour, items, skills and other little things REMOVED, but the statistics of the accounts remain untouched. "

^this. and a majority of the people FOR the stat reset have little to NO 99 skills, so OF COURSE they think it's fair

Well put sir. However, maybe a little compromise (even though I'd gladly keep all my stats). What about letting players choose * skills they'd like to keep? For instance, you can keep three skills you'd previously acquired. You're a PvMer, so you go for herblore, strength and prayer. I'm still not sure about that myself, but what do you guys think?
