P2P F2P? No, just no.... No themed worlds, no restrictions, no.......

Every server should be indentical gamewise but ofc people can develop different communities to those identical servers. That's why I voted NO to OSRS f2p.

Abstain? What's the point of that? At the moment about 370,000 of the 450,000 'players' who voted for OSR, have abstained, so they would actually dominate the poll.

It is a silly idea - non-voters do not count in a real poll.

Abstaining should be yes since they do not care, they should swing with the majority. Especially on this F2p Pking vote, a lot of people don't care so they don't vote, and the people who vote no are misinformed. If you don't want the f2p world then just don't play in it. A lot of people really enjoy pking F2P Style.

Honestly, most of the people that are playing the old rs are the ones who have been in the community for about a year. The ones who apparently cannot play without the claws, chaotics ect. AND who I believe are going to ruin the game once again and bring a new version of eoc into the old school '07 version. But this update is kinda of pointless, tbh. I was kind of hoping to fix up the interface and game a little more than such minor things.

I voted Yes to everything, and here is why.

Grimy Herbs: This was originally updated into Runescape due to a massive amount of scamming. I am perfectly aware of the anti-scam methods, but honestly, not everyone does. Why should someone have to risk their hard earned cash buying basic materials for skilling? A bowstring is a bowstring, it can't be mistaken with say, a ball of wool. A Guam leaf should be a Guam leaf, there should be a 0% chance of buying the wrong thing when trying to make an informer purchase.

Basic interface updates: Basically, just the little irritating things that I disliked back in the old days. Good to have them implemented. As for 1 click banking and some such, it comes down to a simple condition many computer uses get. Carpel Tunnel. That is the reason so many things originally got make-x options. Now, I'm not saying we need all those make x things back, since that would destroy the nostalgia. But really, the bank update is literally a drop in the bucket, and those extra clicks can add up for a sufferer of CTS.

FTP world: I won't use em, since I don't PK, but others do, so why not? It doesn't bother me none, and in fact will aid me due to the demand for F2P gear and consumables such as str pots, swordies, and other things like that.

Honestly, I understand where the people who vote no on grimies are coming from, it's just I don't want to deal with the BS that undoubtedly will arise. Remember that most of the updates like these ones came around for a reason, and those reasons aren't necessarily invalid.

One last thing. If you can invalidate anything I say, remember that me being wrong in any way does not automatically make you right. Remember that before some of you undoubtedly will begin to flame me.

The majority of those who are against these updates are using Cold War Era Domino theory logic, which as you can tell by how that whole cold war went is complete rubbish.

All these updates bar the unid one do not affect the core game like eoc or even a graphical update. It's simple changes like right click to pm, that's not game changing its easiness just makes it more convenient to talk. It doesn't make the game easier. Arguing against it is silly, especially with the logic oh if we vote for this it will soon be eoc.

NO, making it easier to talk to a friend for example is not going to cause eoc.

The way i see it, basically a 26% no vote means its not gonna happen which is ludicrous. I'd personally say a 65% yes vote beating out a 34% no vote seems much more fair.


Also, most of the people that are voting no, which i know several, are only voting no because they feel the development team is wasting their time.

Left-click bank booths for direct bank access greatly affects the core-game.

1. There is a banker there, and he should be interracted with. Left-click: Talk, Right-click - additional options; that is how it is meant to be. I cannot explain why this matters to me, I guess because I always talked to the banker to access my bank when I started the game.

2. We need to steer against these simplifications as a few of these could cause trained skills to not have a value.
Most of the interfaces were (at least it seems to me) intended for the occasional use while playing the game, not for a massive-powerleveling crowd.
