Enjoyed reading posts. Its helpful to gauge the pros and cons of updates before the poll comes out and to see peoples' opinions on the updates.

I'm hoping that it will be very clear when a poll is up. I'm a bit concerned that there may be a number of 2007 players who are not aware a poll is running. I would also like to see the total level raised as 100 level is quite low and can be achieved in only about 2 hours of gameplay, which is not enough time to really 'get to know' the game if you weren't around in 2007.

Easter – the 2007 Easter holiday event is re-activated for Easter this year.
Yes happy with this. It was in 2007.

- Herb naming – unidentified herbs become grimy ((herbname)).
Hmmm this is a hard one. Personally I prefer grimy but I know there's a lot of people who prefer unids. Not sure what I'll do here.

- Remove roof – a command to toggle the visibility all roofs on and off.
Yes please!! Plus toggle lets people choose.

- Enter to login – enter key submits login info, in addition to the login button.
Doesn't matter either way, but may be more convienient.

- Bank booths – left click bank booths to instantly open the bank interface.
Not sure about this one. Does it take away the 2007 feel or not?

- F2P worlds – still members only but allows PKers to fight with F2P gear limits
Yes. I don't pk never have never will. But if it means less pkers when I want to abyssal rc or do a clue scroll in the wilderness, then thats ok with me.

*hugs you*

I love the old school runescape, but I think the world map should be modified because when you click on the map and zoom in, you can't move the map around. Instead you have to zoom back out, and zoom back in.

^This.

Really like f2p styled worlds for members.

@TinyKitten: Don't go in the wilderness if you don't like it. It's part of the game and why a large percentage of us play.

you HAVE to enter the wildy for certain quests and treasure trails and for the mage arena.

I'm happy with the wildy being dangerous, and I'm even happy for PKing there. But they should remove all multi-combat areas.
What I am primarily against is the behaviour that JaGex calls "player rushing". Eliminate rushing, and I'll be 65% more willing to accept PKing :3

I also wanted to let you know that we’re still working in the background to integrate more of our anti-bot technology into the Old School servers, and as part of this banned several hundred gold farmers yesterday.

This is good to hear, yet unfortunatly it is not enough.
Bots are crawling in in masses, many ressource spots are packed with them already. On OSR it is double hard if you a) can't get ressources on your own due to bots taking them and b) not make much profit due to bots overflooding the markets with goods driving prices down.

Actually, I think OSR gave a vital push to the whole of Runescape bringing lots of players back to the game. Take fighting bots on OSR seriously and do it *now* with all capacity you have, loosing OSR to the bots will be a loss to the whole game. You shouldn't risk loosing the momentum OSR gave you.

While the anti-bot technology needs obviously more time to get ready and fully funtional to cover both games, the OSR team should set fighting off bots manually on top of the priority list.

Best regards,
Mace

If you have to question a potential update up for polling one bit, VOTE no.

^

NO!

Only vote "no" if you actually oppose the change.
And only vote "yes" if you actually support the change.
Anyone who is unsure, don't vote at all. Otherwise you might vote something good out of the game, or vote something bad into the game.

DO NOT VOTE AT ALL unless you actively SUPPORT / OPPOSE the proposed change!

Thx.
