2007 Servers - My Movie
Randy:
--- Quote from: His Lordship on February 21, 2013, 05:33:43 pm ---Agreed Randy. The bit where we disagree on is the solution.
I am of the opinion that it'll be harder to have a good clan world in 2007scape than in current scape.

Harder in what way? The only obstacles are the membership fee and the level reset. Jagex could abolish the fee if the player base is large enough and the levels won't be a huge issue because everyone else will be on the same playing field. Clans will progress side by side, from bronze to rune. Obviously getting the players back will be the struggle here but it's MUCH more likely in 2007 than the EoC (that is why they quit, yeah?).
His Lordship:
Here are possible reasons why 2007-scape might end up being more difficult to get up and running than 2013:
1. No new content means it has a shelf life of about 2-3 years
2. 2007 PKing was awesome because of numbers... numbers which we won't reach again. We will not be maxing opts in 2007 scape.
3. Most players will not be willing to pay for it... and let's face it, we'll have to pay for it. Most people will choose the account that they've spent years training.
4. I believe many players will HATE the grinding of skills and the lack of content. It'll be charming for a few months, sure, but what happens after then?
Randy:
Obviously I have no proof but I really think most people want to play for the PvP... not the skilling.
Updates are the thing that ruined it so that really shouldn't be a problem. The PvP system before the CWA was ideal.
His Lordship:
But my reasons address the PVP too Randy.
Training for the PVP is still grinding... and you'll HAVE to skill to work your way up to rune armour and swordfish and pizzas and good potions.
Without updates, the game will be decent but it will expire.

The norms in 2007 were different. People went to wars with nothing but an invent of lobbies and that was acceptable.
Grinding will be a pain, but as I said, the clan world won't be just about the full rune pkris like we associate it with.
It will progress. The early clan fights will be bronze/iron and slowly advance up the ladder. Maybe that's how tiers will form.
In terms of skilling, the economy will work itself out due to skillers and botters as it did in 2007. I somehow managed it as a noob... didn't you?
