Keep banning the bots and gold farmers, they are already making the game less enjoyable than it should be and wrecking the hiscores. Hi.

I'm VERY happy that you implemented the 75% rule, I think this is IDEAL, a 51/49 split should not determine what is implemented in the game and what is not. You definitely did the right thing here

I'm also extremely happy that you implemented the must have 100 lvls in 2007 to vote, this protects the actual old school people who begged for this server from the ones who didnt know the old school and just dont like EOC.

Both of these are great implications and in my opinion will make the voting completely fair. I just hope GWD isn't ever in the poll....

Is nobody else concerned about the relatively low skill total needed for voting? Some EoC players have made it clear that they would vote no in our polls to sabotage any votes. Is there not a way to implement an "active Old School player" system for voting?

Here are things I think would definitely be welcome additions to the game:
Bank search or tabs
Rest feature
Enter to login
Herb renaming to prevent scamming
F2P worlds for members only
Right click reporting
TAB to reply to messages
Anti-bot technology ASAP
Pathfinder update
Ability to resize screen or full screen

All sounds great, love the 75% rule, think the 100 total req could be higher.

Not sure why everyone is making such a big deal of Legacy of Seergaze :o

A few people have mentioned the tab-messaging and resizable screen, so I'll quickly respond about those:

Tab Messaging isn't on that list as it needs a bit more fiddling with the engine code, but it can be done. It will probably be in the 2nd poll.

Resizable screen - This is surprisingly difficult for us. It basically needs a re-write of the 2007 interface backend system. So it won't be on the first few polls, but could be possible down the road.
