From a player who has been around since classic I want to mention a few things.
First off, the whole reason OSRS was brought back was because people did not like EOC. PERIOD. Not for any other reason than that. The only reason we went back to 2007 was because the Mods only had that copy of OSRS. They even said in the blog before they asked if people would want OSRS that "we luckily have a copy of the game from back in 2007". If they had a copy of OSRS from 2011 then they would have used that instead.
Now that is is no longer EOC they can continue to improve and have the game grow just like they were with RS3 but without the EOC being a part of it. Everyone complaining about "Stop changing the game I want it to stay 2007 rs and no easyscape!" are missing the whole point of why the game was brought back. It was to have a copy of the game that was before the change that literally made it a completely different game with the combat system.
Yes, they are bringing in Addy and Rune dragons. Yes these were in RS3, but they are going to be completely different. Different drops, different stats, different environment (with them being in a completely new guild). As Mod Ash even pointed out that it just makes sense to continue this trend as we have all metal dragons up to mirthril already. This isn't like they announced we are getting something that comes from RS3 that was never in OSRS. This is just common sense of an expansion of the metal dragons that were already in the game to start.
Everything they do from here on out is a huge improvement to the game. No one wants to play a game that does not improve or get better. The reason EOC was hated so much was because it completely changed the game. It was no longer Runescape. It was world of warcraft with worse graphics. They can go back to their roots and create updates to the game they first created and this time with the communities opinion.
@Mastshafter- Know what your talking about before posting. Thanks
