Its Funny how you can tell who the Old School players are compared to the RS3 players who are trying to mess up OSRS. There is a reason why everyone wanted Old School. Not because we wanted to start over and progressively go back to EOC but to go back in time and stay there and feel that nostalgic emotion we OSRS players love. Currently there are around 45k players active in Old School, trust me the moment you start updating EOC content related or something similar youll have 80% of those players quit once again. Just remember Old School was brought back for a reason. Not because RS3 was going amazing but because RS3 was not giving you guys enough revenue anymore. Listen to OSRS players not RS3 idiots who will help you bring this company down little by little because thats exactly what is happening to RS3 right now.

I will absolutely vote no..i don't even want an adventurers log or an option to toggle..

please keep it as it is
..
I do wish tho that you would have put the time it took to do this work to better use like giving us our resizable browser that so many of us are waiting for.

.i can't think of any improvement that I want more than resizable

too bad the time wasn't spent on that.

Don't change the website!!! I got one of my friends to play again and when he visited the homepage of 07, he said 'this is what I remember' (referring to the website design). I will be VERY upset if you guys change it.. I imagine you think this is above a poll but it's not. We are ultimately the ones paying for the website and game and I do not want it to change. I do not like the new design at all.. Why does it need a mobile version anyways? Unless you are going to make it so people can play rs on their phones, don't waste your time.

NO

I think the whole idea of a new website is good and you have done a great job thus far, but personally i feel like it needs some more "oldschool" touches to it, such as the vines that are currently on the oldschool website, and the main characters look too animated, maybe add something iconic to oldschool such as corp/zulrah and other iconic oldschool pieces on the homepage.
I feel the way it is currently is too plain but with a few graphical adjustments it would be a great update :) - Keep it up!

why the heck would you do that? at this point, it's not even "old school" anymore. you're putting the facade of RS3 over old school '07 rs. haven't you heard the phrase "don't fix what ain't broken"?

you people in jagex haven't been following that phrase at all. the old page's truer to the 07 page, yet you still want to make it "modern". that's the reason why you screwed over runescape 07 and just runescape in general in the first place... and you want to do it again?? really now?? That's a fatal error in your entire team- to pretty much force-feed "modernity" to the player-base that doesn't even want it.

some things are better left unchanged... because it's not broken in the first place and players are perfectly happy with it.

also you've existed for, what, 15 years now..? and you still don't know how to read the psyche of the player-base? runescape went downhill ever since you decided to axe '07 rs. the player population went from 200k-250k PER DAY to a measly 50k. it rose to 90k now though but what does that say about your decisions and loyalty to the players? it's trash.

you won't ever learn, will you? slowly and slowly, you're beginning to corrupt osrs with rs3. wow.

You should look in the mirror and see what you've become, jagex. it ain't pretty.

I really think it should stay closer to the same design. Adding a menu at the top makes sense and all, but all these other graphical changes just make it too dissimilar to the site that we all have a deep nostalgia for (which is the entire point of old school).

My biggest gripe is that the vine covered pillars are gone! Not cool. This should definitely be put to a vote so I can vote against it.
