I like the overall concept of making it a smother experience. Functionally speaking, I agree it could use a bit of tweaking. However, I'm sure this could still be accomplished whilst still maintaining the familiar 'old school Runescape' architecture the majority of it's players have grown to love. If you're basically going to just move around buttons and rearrange layouts, keep the overall skin of the website familiar and it'll work out great. ;)

Their twitters are @JagexBiggs @JagexAllstar - even if you don't like the website people should send them a thanks. Remember they did this in their spare time (sort of) and they didn't need to help OSRS at all. A few thanks may go a long way and could lead to getting even more help from them in future.

i can see the intention to keep it oldschool-like (like the scroll - which i btw still miss ingame as chatbox background like in 2006 <3)

but please dont use any drop-down-menu ... its so annoying to browse that, highscore page is perfekt as it is now and so are the links to the top left corner :)

another no-go are the graphics like that knight in the world selection screen. thats pure rs3 and doesnt belong to oldschool.

Moving the links to the top is a good idea, as it leaves more space for the news and some ingame screenshots next to them

If that's what you wanna do go for it. Personally I'd rather you didn't. I'd rather see them offer us some website features that we have been requesting for a long time such as our own forums/adventurers log. You guys always said it was really hard to get the web team to help you guys with anything and now that you've got them you're going to update the look of the site which no one has really mentioned instead of give us features that we have been requesting since the beginning? Just seems silly to me.

Honestly, I'd keep the mobile website and leave the main's design alone.
Now, I would accept all your offers in a beat, If I could get a guarantee that this new build will be able to support and display data such as, Nº of QP, Clue Scrolls finished, Player Kills and any other information that would be worth looking at. Perhaps, our own Adventurer's log?
By the way, have we managed to get any response from them regarding our own domain and forums yet? Sorrow is the conduct to a void inside us.
