Jagex, you should stop being afraid of your own shadow and start making the right decisions. I think It's become obvious to everyone that OSRS will never have the same fate as Classic, if treated right.
Runescape's success back in 2004-Mid 2007 was not coincidental and I'm certain it CAN be revived, only if you're willing to implement the followings:
- Complete separation of the RS3 & OSRS websites
- New name (I mean, seriously.. "Old School" is quite a turn off to new players)
- Permanent F2P
- Separate Oldschool & RS3 membership from each other ($5 seems like a reasonable price for a 7 yrs old game, and in general). You won't be losing money as a result of doing so.
- Reintroduce the old method of creating new accounts - NO EMAIL REGISTRATION
- Possibly change the current in-game interfaces to the older '05 ones which looked less childish (Yes, a lot of people have been requesting that since the release of OSRS) or create new ones. Also bring back the old chat box which looked like a tattered piece of paper, it just fits the medieval game RS is more.
- Remove the Wilderness ditch despite of the poll's failure. It is a hindrance to PKing and I guarantee you that if it stays, the lower areas of the Varrock wilderness will be completely deserted on the future F2P worlds. Mark my words. (And also bring back the fence that used to exist there).
Before you flame me, bear in mind that I'm not a PKer.
If you actually implement all of the above Jagex, you will immediately witness a massive increase in your player base (Which obviously is your main goal, correct me if I'm wrong).
It's about time you retrieved your positive image back Jagex. It won't happen overnight after all the damage you've caused to yourselves during the years, but It's definitely achievable only if you're willing to make the right decisions. You have a strong player base behind you, don't lose that too.
