I personally don't like it- it looks too close to EoC's website layout for me to approve. "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

Also, I see several RS3 players weighing in. I think that when you at Jagex read our comments, you should take into account who wants what. It seems obvious that RS3 players would have a bias towards the updated look, whereas OSRS players are the ones who want the game to look and feel like it did back in the day. It should be a choice for those who are actually playing OSRS, and not RS3.

Perhaps this is something that RSOS players should vote on in poll box's as to keep this vote to RSOS players, and have those who play SOLELY RS3. I know there will be some mix of players who play both, and still favor the update, but they are much less bias to "new" look.

Let's just be honest, the primary reason for this change is children with their smartphones. Thanks, kids, for ruining another relic of the past.

Get a real computer.

Also, will this be polled fairly? (75% needed in order to vote it in)

Do NOT change it!! When I first learned that oldschool was a thing the first thing I saw was this. I had chills going down my spine from the massive nostalgia going through my mind. Why would you change it if oldschool is supposed to be oldschool, if it is changed it just won't feel like the game that I played 10 years ago that I loved.

The website looks great! What I'm getting at is the designs you guys used for "roleplay" characters displayed on the website. It strongly suggestions the intentions of this game.. And, I like that it does that. Please retain that classic vibe with the art work. You guys are awesome!

A lot of changes to OSRS have been made that I don't care for, and would rather not have, but THIS makes me angry.

I understand you guys are pushing to increase the userbase and navigation is "tricky" but enough is enough. Knock it off. This is OLD SCHOOL runescape, based off of the runescape site from 2007. It's NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK "MODERN". This is what we asked for. Old School runescape. Not 2011/2012 rs3. If this keeps up, "OSRS" will become EOCRS just like it already did.

To those agreeing with this change, you need to stop brown-nosing in hopes that agreeing with the update will make your chances of being a player mod that much closer.

Jesus people. We have people LITERALLY COMPLAINING that the site looks TOO OLD. Get a hold of yourselves, that's how it's supposed to look!

Grand Exchange came along, whatever. I wouldn't be able to voice my opinion anyways because I am in the minority. Permanent F2P rolled out, okay... What am I supposed to do about that? It was going to happen eventually. Hi-res display? What the heck... Now visual changes to make "old school" runescape into "modern day runescape". Really?

Stop it Jagex. Just stop. I don't care if I'm in the minority here but you need to stop trying to divert Runescape from what it once was. A classic. That's what it was. But it's heading towards 2011/2012 RS3 too soon and too fast.

Edit: Just read all the comments from YOUR osrs userbase. There is a massive hatred for what you're trying to do and what you're pushing to make rs more modern and cater to the younger userbase. Nobody needs a mobile site, except the children who are constantly on their smartphones.

Too many new players who never played this game in 2007 are coming to OSRS thanks to exposure on Twitch, and this is a very bad thing for us. These new players will ruin this game once again. Veterans need to be aware that this is happening, so we can collectively oppose it.
