It think it's very generous for you to take the time to design and innovate the Oldschool homepage. While the new designs are clean, sophisticated, and contain visible, obvious links to popular pages (Hiscores, Polls, and Forums), I personally love the classic, simple, design that is the Oldschool homepage currently. :D

One update I would like to see in the future is a revamp of the Oldschool section of the Official RuneScape forums. Although the current RuneScape forums theme is comprehensive, modern, and organized, the classic design of the forums was simple, clean, and user friendly. Having the option to choose a theme on the Oldschool section would be an excellent cosmetic update. ;)

Best,

It would be fabulous if you could add a price index and tracker to the Old School Site. More than a third of the people playing Runescape are on "Old School" now, that's a large part of the community that has no access to this valuable tool.

Jagex are you seriously kidding me? This looks like a half EoC website! The PURPOSE of old school is to give it the NOSTALGIC FEEL. And the current design RUINS that. If you are going to update it give it the 2011 website.

What's next Jagex? EoC in old school?

It's a nice design, but it looks way too much like the rs3 website. The idea of a new website design is good, but please keep the nostalgic feeling! Not only ingame, but also on the oldschool website. Personally, I love how the website looks right now, because it takes me back to when I played rs back in 2007!

I like it, but it isn't old school, maybe you guys could leave the textures, or make he varients of the current and existing graphics, basically, just the same graphics of the current page, just higher definition, though that being said, I think you could also keep the hot bar at the top from the revamp. The way to keep it nostalgic is by keeping it as much as possible to the real thing. I say keep the graphic change to a minimal but use the new links and layout, keeping everyone happy. Coming from a graphic designers point of view anyway.

Just had a quick look and here is a just a few things I noticed

- Nice and efficient
- Silver top bar is kinda awkward
- Not sure you need to have worlds as an option
- I'd prefer something else over the wizard
- The space under the silver bar and over the scroll seems to large
- Rs3 blue up the top could be the same as the background Thanks for adding in Aussie servers ^_^
