RuneScape has advanced as a game but the PvP is complete shit, everyone knows it.
This way people can play the game they've grown to like AND others can enjoy the oldskool PvP.
Seems like a win-win to me.
Ts Stormrage:
I have an idea forming in my head again, should this become a reality...
I'll not sit on it for so long this time :)
Colinwarrior:
This is fucking amazing. Once per millennium, Jagex listens to their players. This is one of those instances.
I would highly consider returning to play on the 2007 servers. At least casually.
I also think it's bullshit that only members can vote on the poll. Most current members don't know what it was like back then. All the old-school players have realized what a crappy game it's become and moved on. They should really open the poll to the public.
SquelchyFish:
I needed to change my pants after reading the RS post.
There's not a single update I have enjoyed since returning. Honestly the only thing I can sort-of handle is the sound vials now make when you drop them.
Really looking forward to this and hopefully to the revival of the clan world that it will bring.

1. Not going to pay Jagex more money
2. Not going to ignore the last 5 years (2007-2013) that I've worked on my account
3. Not going to relive four years (2003-2007) to achieve goals I've already achieved
4. Not going to pour countless hours into a game that doesn't change with me
5. Not going to play two Runescapes at once and waste double the time
6. Not going to enjoy 2007-scape like everyone thinks. A lot of shit has come since, but going back will remove MANY good updates.*
7. Not going to enjoy splitting WG into even more sub-clans, assuming some people don't pay.
8. Not going to believe that a 2007 wilderness will be much better than a 2013 wilderness, given how small the clan world is.
* NOTE: Everyone is recalling a highly fantasized 2007-scape where everything was awesome. In adulthood, 2007-scape is going to be a lot less magical and I'll bet you're going to be very disappointed after a dozen hours of gameplay. You remember those times so fondly because of nostalgia, nothing more.
