Hmmm, things I'd like to see implemented would be:

Chat Filter Option (the stars irritate me! ****!)
Adjustable Screen Size
Experience Counters

Nothing to make the Game Easier, nothing to cause harm to the fresh Economy.

And yes, 75% seems like a fair amount of people. Over the last few days I've seen approx. 50,000 on at any given times. That would mean 37,500 people would need to vote in favour of a change for it to be implemented. Also, a "No Vote" option should be included in Polls, as some people won't care for the proposed updates - they'll then be forced to choose Yes or No, which is unfair to them and also everyone else.

A side note: If you remove one form of Gambling, another will pop up out of the cracks, might as well just leave it & ignore. If you choose not to Gamble, then you won't feel cheated.

I don't see what the problem is with the flower game.

I don't care personally because I don't play it and honestly I think it's a cool thing in the community that we've created but I mean hey if you don't like it nobody is making you play it lol and of course unids should stay because once again if you don't wanna be scammed don't trade with unids and I like taking the risk because I use to merch them.

It's jus* the way the game use to be and it was fun.

Most people that don't realize this didn't even play back then which is why they're so scared of the idea but you will all get use to eventually, just please don't cry for updates to make it more like EOCscape

2/3 VOTING Majority for changes, leave polls open for two weeks

The shortlist I would say would be:
Anti-botting mechanics
Profanity Filter update
Fullscreen game (atm I downsize my resolution)

- Firstly, how would you like the community polls to work? For instance, what degree of consensus should be required?

A thread in the forums *hat describes what the purpose of the poll is. What the selections are, how it can effect the game, and approximate duration until released.
Within the thread has a link to the poll.
The purpose, in general, is to have an in-depth conversation amongst the players. This prevents blind voting so players know exactly what they are voting for. Also, people will speak of pros and cons to the selection.

Poll it self
---------
1) Players who have voted for 07' servers should have a higher voting weight than players who have not voted, and players who are new to the servers. This allows 07' voters to have more of a say.

2) "I vote for none of these"
People who don't vote don't have a say if it is 50/50 (such as getting to 500k votes, those who did not vote are effecting the 07' membership fee). By adding a "I vote for none of these" is for several options. This allows players to have a say in what content is in the game... that includes not having any that is being polled.

3) Ability to change vote.
Player's change their mind and point of view. Maybe they were persuaded, maybe they thought about it, maybe they could sacrifice their first vote for another selection. This allows players to have that ability. I know I have made quick votes without really giving it some thought and regretted it.

4) 80% and it's in.
If a selection has 80% of the votes, it is in. If none of the selections meet 80% or higher, than "none of these" are going into the game at this time.


- Secondly, what content changes would you like to see shortlisted for the first polls?

Interface/tweaks to some gameplay such as: Remove roofing, visible hp and run without going into skill tab or option tab, clan chat auto log in, tab to reply to pm's. Nothing like, G.E. or Resting.

Thanks for the blog!

Here is a vote I would like to see take place:
Flowers come out in a certain order.


This would benefit the community by preventing gambling. Look what it did to the main game.. Don't let it happen here...

Yes people have the choice if they want to gamble or not. But it leads to people being tempted to risk their money, discourages people to go out and make money themselves, creates a lot of spamming.

It only has NEGATIVE effects on the game, NO POSITIVE effects thus why is should be removed.

Please, make the poll.

What's wrong you guys? I wasted a week of my time. You're wanting changes on the old school? Go play EOC! The only thing old school needs is bot fixes.
So you guys don't want old school, you want pre EOC. You want to ruin old school.

Jagex, if you mess with old school, other than bots, You will lose more players than you ever have. I have stayed with you a long time but I will leave if you start changing old school into pre- EOC.
These polls and forums to discuss changes need 95% to change anything.
Unids are only beneficial to merchants, but I thought I started in 07 and we had unids, diff acc, so if we did, fine, but you said you were doing an original back-up from 07.

Jagex take heed, you should know, by now, your game can die.

Personally, I am upset at how part of the community is already asking for additional changes to the 2007 servers. This is outrageous.

The Old School servers are supposed to play exactly the way Runescape played back in the day, so why ask Jagex to add features that were only available after the server's date? If you want those features, feel free to play the new Runescape; otherwise, please leave the old school servers alone. Throughout the years I have made multiple accounts, my first dating all the way back to 2005. I have experienced many drastic updates in the game, but I have always wanted to escape the newer ones and take a look back.

The old school servers are perfect right now, and need nothing but that enhancement to the anti-bot system and the addition of Construction, which doesn't seem to work right now. If Jagex actually implements any of the additional updates, I will surely leave Runescape permanently. Jagex promised 2007 servers, and that's what I wanna see. I want to have the same level of difficulty, the same graphics, and overall the same experience I had way back then. Up until now, it has been a real success, and I don't plan on sticking around if the community manages to mess this up.

Add a little option here, change a little bit of graphics there, add this item here, change some details here. What would happen next? G.E? Please...

Don't mess up, Jagex. This is a golden opportunity.
