They are coming back: 2007 Servers
Fuls:
God people are retarded. Everyone's just going to play it to realize how shit 2007 actually was then realize their mistakes come back and actually appreciate the game a lot more.
PineappleTom:
I think starting from level 1, self-sufficient, is quite a cool idea. Although I won't play.

Do you remember all this about 2007:
1. A lot of shit, like cooking fish, is done click by click
2. There is no GE, you're standing in a market shouting for what you want and if you want something obscure, you'd better pay through the nose for it.
3. No Summoning or Dungeoneering - meh I don't mind this so much
4. Glitches galore that they won't fix, but if you exploit them you'll get perm banned.
5. The run system is fucked. You'll end up running backwards if you want to go forward.
I could go on if you still think it was better than it is now.
You're just nostalgic.

Seeing as we are actually now just being un objective as fuck, I'm going to savagely support 2007 scape on this thread
1. I LIKED cooking fish click by click, stringing bows click by click, mining the hard way etc. I EARNED my levels. EOC came out and all my years of hard work were thrown away by kids getting 99s in 1/4 of the time because of updates for the lazy.
2. Market trading is so much better. It's like real life, you can merchant effectively, make judgements based on your own intellect rather than what the game FORCES you to sell/buy for. There's an element of risk.
3. Yes, those skills suck, especially pokemon.
4. Not really an issue, EOC is ruined by bots. If enough votes are taken there will be a development team. Not that the current EOC team can even sort out their current shit making this a moot point.
5. I still do that in EOC. Shitty java game.
I honestly think that you are angry because its belittling all your past achievements. So am I, I don't and probably wont want to get 99 fishing again as it took up so much of my life in the old system. But I for one am looking forward to a chance at a second go KNOWING what we do now. Its going to be a real social economic experiment and i'm curious as to what will happen over the first months. Mith and Addy wars? Great. Won't this give others a chance to see first hand how WG was borne out of PK's wearing the very same? It's like the ghost of christmas past.
Will I max, probably not. Will I even play this much, probably not. Not that I don't want to, it's just a lot is going on in real life. In my retirement I will play things like this all day every day until the day I perish. Sometimes I question your motives in your ruthless assault against 2007scape Gene as you can't commit to it either for the very same reason. We just need to bite the pillow and relax, it's coming regardless of how much we squirm.
Owen:
I'm not even exaggerating, this will probably be the death blow for Jagex/Runescape, if it gets it's own development team.
It'll flourish for a few months, then turn into classic.

For being an antiquated game, Classic's doing very well despite not being advertised as much and pretty much hidden from the main site.
Your argument is invalid, sir.
