No. Bottom line.

You wanted "2007 RS", and you got it.

Adding new content makes more problems than it solves.
1-It's no longer genuine "2007 RS".
2-It's NOT the main-game and would put it in direct competition with itself.
3-Player base confused.
4-Insert your own, there's plenty.

Asking for new content is extremely ungrateful. Be thankful for what JAGeX did in attempts to make you happy. Of which it clearly hasn't satisfied you, as you that are lobbying for new content to a dead version of a great game, because you're all obviously insatiable, stubborn, impossible, and inable to adapt to change. Nothing done will ever be enough. There comes a time when you need to grow up, and learn to move forward instead of regressing.

All your angst toward aspects of RS you dislike could and would have been much better practiced on the existing game's community, to influence what is and isn't in the game now. Can you imagine the current game with features you don't like gone and ones you do like in it? It's not that way, because you wanted to retain (and now 'patch') an inferior product.

Updates to "old school"? Oxymoron. There's no updating the past or altering the course of history.

Im positive to all small updates and to some bigger ones. GWD for example has many positives but also many negative sides on it so its hard to say to add or not. I would like to see it with major fixes to drop tables and armour/weapon stats.

But yeah, in my opinion updates are certainly needed to keep OSRS going.

OSRS needs quality of life updates and original content, with the latter being very important to fueling the interest in OS.

This is 2013, not 2007 - that year is long gone. No need to keep old school in a time capsule when we can mold it into something entirely different and unique.

I support the creation of new content.

Nope. People wanted "Pre-Eoc RuneScape"; RuneScape anywhere from 2004-2012 era. And this game isn't exactly called "2007 RuneScape". It's called the Old School RuneScape. Adding new content doesn't make it any less old school.

The people wanting pre-eoc were told they couldn't have it.

This game can't honestly be called 'old school' once it has the updates that the main game has (all but the ability bar y'all are so opposed to).

I'm much more likely to shut up.. if the game's name is changed... because it's not old school if it ends up the pre-eoc server jagex said they wouldn't give ya.

The only "Big update" I support is GWD, I don't mind "new content" like the Dom Onion tower provided the rewards are items already in the game and not new stuff.. I would quit on the spot if something like Dragon Claws/Korasi were brought to old school.

My opinion is that the people who quit and came back for 07RS have left, for the most part, and now the majority of players are people who were inbetween EoC and 07/Oldstyle Runescape.

Now we'll be seeing the content that was good that had existed in '08-'12, possibly even up to Dungeoneering. The few things you won't see are some OP xp gaining and the obvious Dragon claws, for two examples coming from either side (skiller or combat/pvp).

I, for one, would rather have true '07, no GWD or anything past that but yeah..It's going to happen. My point is that a good portion of players have left, perhaps not a majority, but a lot are leaving or have left because Jagex decided to twist their decisions in favor of those who play both EoC and this, despite EoC getting the 'almighty' Runescape 3.


Even if you didn't want Runescape 2007 to turn into a Runescape Classic, I don't think you can prolong the inevitable. People tried so hard to support EoC and keep people interested in a major change to the game but it didn't work by a long shot; you killed off a gigantic portion of players and now EoC is still suffering due to it. The gameplay, even if the combat and all is the only thing changed, is completely different and suffering because of those players leaving. The economy is so warped compared to before, regardless of what EoC nerfed or made irrelevant (GWD items, etc).


I feel the best thing for Jagex to do is to capitalize on 07 updates, for the sake of their game, and ignore EoC to put all resources into Runescape 3 to make it the best possible experience for anyone who is still interested in EoC. Why? People are becoming bored with EoC anyway, regardless of what you put into it. You'll have to modify RS3 more and more the more time is spent dev'ing content for EoC anyway, so just stop there.

Supporting 07 updates will help keep that community interested in paying, even if some leave. I just have no time/interest in Runescape, but I know what Jagex should be doing.

Oh, and I'd just like to mention that 07 xp rates follow the ones as recent as November 2012, just prior to the EoC full-launch. That, in my opinion, was the most destructive force to 2007 and will completely destroy it overall. It WILL shut down 2007, regardless of what updates (if any), the same way EoC shut down the main game. It made it way too easy; people got skills maxed out so extremely quickly compared to true 2007. It was a terrible decision to make '07 the way they did..

I dont really care if there is new content or not. Im sticking with 07 scape for a while. EoC has been noobied and most skills are 3x faster to train. Runecrafting shouldnt even be considered RuneCrafting anymore, everyone runespans, and older methods arnt even touched.

If we do have content polls for GE, GwD, and things like that, id probly just vote Yes anyways.
