No Grand exchange... It will ruin the Old School aspect IMO. Rise of merchanting clans and massive inflation, will ruin the OSRS economy.

Yes to Zulrath. IMO there should be penalties like this for other items (mage books, void night, etc). We need more cash sinks. Nothings crazy but there aren't many cash sinks in the game currently.


if you don't think merc* clans are not in ors right now i :D

No to the GE. If its added so much meaning of old school runescape will be lost. I like having to network, in order to find buyers and sellers. Adding it will also remove a degree of difficulty that will put many players out of the game, I know I won't stick around & I've met many good friends though having to network and it will be something sorely missed if replaced by the GE. If you want the GE go back to EOC. Also adding the dragon defender is a good idea! :)


who are you to tell us what to play? who are you to define what is or is not old school? who are you to tell us what we even CARE about "old school"?

that's right, you're 583 total and still in the nostalgic phase - rendering your opinion irrelevant to majority of the playerbase.

Merc* clans completely disappeared upon the removal of trade limit. I would know, I made a LOT of money off chessy's merc* clan. So there's that. Also, who are you to define the 'oldschool aspect'? most of us consider oldschool simply the combat system.

I personally prefer the trade-post distance trading idea, but I realize that many people want the GE to come into the game. I do like the idea of there being a trade hub in Falador. Just like the good old days ^_^
If the GE passes the poll it would be pretty cool if it ended up in fally.

I don't know if it's a good idea...I mean, the ge killed most interaction between players. I mean, it would be nice to not have to stand around saying you're buying something, but with easy access comes lower prices. The price of items will go down because they will be easier to get.

And people standing around saying buying/selling is one of the nostalgic features of 2007. And nostalgia was the whole point of bringing the old game back...

The way I see it, leave "old" runescape old, and keep the ge out of it.

"nostalgia was the whole point of bringing the old game back..."

???????? when 450k people voted to bring back old combat, a HUGE majority did not do so because they wanted oldschool, they did so because they wanted OLD COMBAT. We do not care about nostalgia. "We" being the people who have stuck around since oldschool came out and have put in the hours and know what we want. I understand you're new to oldschool, being 482 total and all (like 99% of anti-GEers), but can you just understand that nostalgia DOES NOT LAST. When that's gone, so is the player. HENCE WHY WE DROPPED TO 10K ONLINE.

You introduced a severely flawed Trading Post. Now you announce you're going to poll on GE. So of course more players are going to immediately think YAY GE YES!

Just improve the Trading Post so it's actually useful for your players.

NO GE.
