I would LOVE for G.E to come to oldschool, quick question thought, will everything look like rs3 and have the open varrock bank? or will it have the open bank and the original g.e. either way they're both nice, wouldnt mind which version.

This has my full support! would be great to have a G.E :) one thing i'm concerned about though is price manipulation... so to me this is like a double edged sword, just hope we can find ways around that.

But aside from that, I'm all for the G.E as well as the majority of the other votes,
YES!

yesssss but please if we do have the Grand Exchange, could we have the hub be in Falador Park? I think that offers a much more nostalgic approach to it & would also be a unique spin on a particularly controversial update.

When I first started playing 07 and the mention of GE came up I would have 100% said I didn't want it. Now I feel all confused on which way to vote. I guess I am leaning more towards saying yes. (If you read this Monkey, you can hush up)

It would be a shame to see the banks empty while everyone stood at a dedicated spot, but I also liked standing at GE.

I love the idea of a Dragon defender.

I love that this game really is decided by us, I hope we all make the decision that keeps this game with the old school feel while also making improvements that the majority want. Hyperion ´s No. 1

If GE doesn't pass the poll then the community are outright idiots**** was a massive part of every scapers experience to RS. The game saw a huge increase in players between 2007-2010 and I believe the GE update was the reason for that. It's such a useful update and I hope it gets implemented.

YES TO GE!!!

Please bring back the G.E. and here's the reason why. Not everyone played in 2007 and prior, some of us joined in 2008 or 2009 and absolutely loved the game, it was easy to start out, when you wanted your new armour and weapons you just needed the money. Some of us want a very complete and organized bank with one of every teleport tablet, potion, special weapon, armour, it's just easier to be organized with the Grand Exchanged. Some of us from 2008 like me or even 2009 and 2010 want that game back, and EoC RuneScape 3 OBVIOUSLY isn't 2009, but 2007 is really damn close. If we got a Grand Exchange I know me and some friends who would jump into Old School RuneScape in literally a heart beat.

Oh and anyone who says that "The G.E. isn't old school", do a bit of research and see that the G.E. was released only three months after the version of RuneScape that OS runs off of now, that was around mid-August, G.E. was released mid November.

You just said that 07 "is really damn close" to EoC. and if you guys only played because of the GE, then please stay on RS3.

LOL are you stupid? I said that 07 is "really damn close" to 09.

Dear Mod Ronan.
The warrior guild idea seem's nice and pretty and to be honest it doesn't matter if you add the cyclops basement or not we still only need the dragon defender drop actually i think its going to be nice that you add these strong cyclops cos they will have more HP and that means more XP, so i think most of the players will agree on the new cyclops as long they drop Dragon Defender and they give some more XP, but the Grand Exchange idea seems very bad because it will make the game much much easier than it is right now like if you want anything you can just go grand exchange and enter you'r offer and buy it, dont forget that they might buy an item that worth 200k for 20k imagine that the bought hundreds of it they will make bank in 2 days that you probably need 2 months to make in 07.
So i say No to grand exchange.
and i say Yes to grand exchange.
much love humansoul
Peace :) .

Can you please have two separate questions in the poll?


1: Would you like a grand exchange where you can complete offers
online OR offline
? YES/NO

2.: Would you like a grand exchange where you can complete offers
ONLY while you are online
? YES/NO


I don't want the GE to fail because a group of people can't stand the idea of overnight trading/merchanting. Merchanting is a disease of the grand exchange. This is my opinion, you don't have to agree with it. Some people just want to buy an item because they NEED it, while others use it as a literal money-maker. I want the GE to be useful to people who need items, such as questers or those doing clue scrolls.
