Do you think the pre-Grand Exchange Runescape community is dead or do you think these folks are just waiting for a revival to happen?
I remember the " good " ol' days when there was no Grand Exchange. I made some good memories having to buy and sell goods manually, but in all honesty it really wasn't a great structure for a game like RuneScape where goods are consumed quickly. A lot of time was spent standing, spamming the same phrase, and sometimes goods were just simply unavailable depending on who was in the bank.
Now you can buy and sell to the entire community while you aren't even online, which is truly a blessing.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by revival. However, if you mean some sort of reverting back to no Grand Exchange, I doubt it. I don't think anyone's planning on it. There's tons of pre-Grand Exchange players still out and about in game. In a lot of ways players still manually trade, but just for different reasons. CC members trade or lend items all the time, and the alching CC's manually trade in high volumes constantly. Checkout Varrock West bank on world 308 and you'll see exactly what I mean.
Cheers~

Not all of them like the fact that there was no ge.
So when the GE came out, the player counters suddenly tanked within like two months but they somehow "liked" the GE? Intriguing. Once again, you choose to ignore other factors.
Ahhh, right. How could I ever forget about the PKers? They jumped ship right after the wilderness was revoked which was part of a bigger update that the GE was solely created to pave way for. I understand now. It was both the GE and the removal of PvP. We were talking about 2013 and after. The wilderness pking removal was 2008.
As usual, when you cant win an argument with fact, you blow smoke out your wazoo and use mirrors to hide your loss.
I brought up 230k player counters. Did we have that between 2013 and the present? I mean don't get me wrong, we're obviously headed there at this rate contrary to what a certain gold farmer said ages ago about us never being able to hit 100k again "due to the skillers quitting", but that's besides the point.
Also, I don't do drugs, dibby. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I don't party. That's something only conservatives waste their time doing. Us liberals actually go to college to further educate ourselves and believe in science. We like to do productive things with our time.
Yes, you brought up a number that I don't have a clue about being in old school or not. I did not notice that you are talking about the online number. The point is, it didn't matter if you try to derail the discussion then or later. YOU still tried to derail it.
You should've had enough common sense to know that this was in 2006-07. I simply told you to not assume that I'd I would much rather anyone PK in game than do so irl. If you wanna get it out, do it on an online platform please. I don't want anyone getting harmed physically.
