How much time and effort would you all save by just leaving the site as it is now? I don't see any problem with it and oh, by the way, I actually love that it looks oldschool and I have never noticed issues with it being "slow". I'm sure real Old-school players know what I'm saying here and I'm also sure that real Old-School players that haven't come back to the game yet would be turned off by some ugly new age looking dumb noob website when we have the oldschool look and feel here minus the new logo which looks like it wants to say RUNESCAPE: OLDSCHOOL... who let who bully them into letting that one get on the site as our main logo? it should read OLDSCHOOL - RUNESCAPE because that what this game is called isn't it? oh well who cares looks like the game is just going down the drain as usual anyway lol.. FOCUS ON THE GAME, not on updates. THE GAME!

oh mobile website? i'm sure they can do a nice mock up using the current and original oldschool style background / borders. That would be nice, or does that just make too much sense or something? are you just trying to confuse us now? why are you trying to confuse your players now jagexerz? are you trying to jag exercise our heads? are you playing mind games? love games?

Sorry but i like the Rs homepage exactly how it is. Theres nothing wrong with it. It's not meant to appear as a modern game its perfectly laid out already and its what people remember. No point in updating it, no1 really ever checks their mobile for updates anyway cos u post maybe an update a week and 90% of the time its just little things that no one really cares about

If anything Make it use the old acc creation screen, its easier to understand than coming onto a basic website clicking create an account and a stupid ugly pop up appearing which looks displaced as it is.

Please don't change the website, it's perfect the way it is right now. The only web updates I'd love to see is:

1) Having our own seperate forums(the way they used to look) with the ability to change the font / color and all the other options we have currently.

2) A highscores update, keep everything as it is currently, but add a sub section for boss kills, clue scrolls, minigames etc.


Simplicity is somethimes best,

-Sigh

The main point of this project is to bring back the Old School feel, the website is perfect as it is now. I for one will be upset to see the classic homepage replaced by a generic template format that you see plastered all over the web these days.

"Getting the website up-to-date would mean it would be more reliable and faster. It also builds a better foundation to allow for more updates in the future."

Firstly, I haven't noticed any problems with the website being slow or unavailable for large periods of time. Secondly, what future updates could you possibly be talking about - the site has all the functionality required in it's current state. This is just the beginning of a long slippery road where more and more RS3 features get forced on Old School.
