"Revert grimy herbs to unidentified herbs"! You legends!

Only changes I can really think to shortlist would be:

* A unique forum for the oldschool game - must be a subscribed member of oldschool (unless we reach 500k votes and then it could be a total level req.. Not too high, but high enough to ensure it's only people who have played it can comment to remove the hate).

**** sizable/stretch screen/full screen type of function. I appreciate some feel this is one of the perks the old school game. I can live with it too. I just feel as monitors have increased in size SO much since 07 it's a change I'd be for.

* More functional usability. Agility pipe in gnome and barbarian rope swing currently causes a little cussing. Obviously there are easy ways to dupe the game into letting you get priority if you got the experience (tut tut :P ) but it'd be nice to have it more social if possible.

That's seriously all I can even think of.. It's an amazing build and the other things I've wanted have been stated in the blog/been put in game.
Thank you so much! Bring on 500K!
:D

- Firstly, how would you like the community polls to work? For instance, what degree of consensus should be required?
- Secondly, what content changes would you like to see shortlisted for the first polls?

--------------------

-Community polls should honestly at least tell all players when they log in since most of them don't check the forums/mainpage, even though they should. And the poll should prove that they have access to Old Runescape during the time of the vote.

-Honestly, 1 of the very first content changes need to revolve around attemping to remove or at least hurt trust trade gambling such as changing toy horses again, and changing flowers so that you can choose what the mithril seed plants or so that mithril seeds can only be used on flower farming plots (since only the planter can see their own plants when farming). As well as making it pretty clear that auto typing is against the rules as it's a form of a 3rd party software. (Many players don't think it's a clear rule and use them).

I'm thinking any vote should pass with a 3/4 majority, or at least a 2/3 majority. I'm honestly scared of these votes. I don't want this server to change too much. I don't want to see godwars, and I don't want to see dragon claws. There are a few other things, but you get my point.

I am in favor of getting rid of gamblers on the 07 server.

Another thing I would like to see is a remove roofs option. This used to be available in 2007. But, anyways, I can live without it.

One thing I'd like to see improved on is the autopathing. I don't know if this is due to latency but occasionally it would back track on running which in some situations is just not acceptable(like when you are running away form something that can kill you). Another thing that some may consider to be anti old school is GE. I think the GE helped reduce lag to the entire system and could possibly help with bandwidth costs as well. Also I'd help with buying and selling things of course but PLEASE don't implement the trade limit. I believe if you are paying for this to play old school you will be playing it illegitimately as it something you've really liked in the past. Those are just what I want to see voted on and improved on.

Thanks! Your former p-mod(retired 2008-09)

Polls:

Every member Within top 50000 on the highscore OR over 5.000.000 million xp (pures) gets a vote. (Maybe some way for other pures to vote)

Members who become F2P lose their rank on the highscores.

You get the choice: Yes, No and Don't want to vote.

More than 75% NEEDS to say "Yes" for game changing updates. Anti-bot, bug fixes and anti-gold farming should come without votes.

One if the reasons I would say no to hp and prayer values near minimap is because in 07 scape it is much easier to smite while pking. People don't always know their prayer level, and I myself like that. I want to be able to put smite to good use, something that rarely happened once people's hp and prayer were displayed near the minimap.

For polls? Something upon login would get the most feedback. To pass? Something pretty significant, thinking 3/4 yes. However, that's probably too much for you guys, but make it at least 2/3 yes.

But yes, no new stuff until you get the old stuff fixed, that means gambling.
