Legacy mode (old combat in RS3)
Mojo:
O.o this looks interesting.
Leffe:
Well when this comes in the game I expect 07 numbers to go even lower. It might end up like a dead game.
I don't think they will keep 07 if this is successfull though.

"I don't know what runescape is anymore, it just feels like a giant beta for a full game that has yet to come out. New content is always nice, but giant game changes like this are not fluid enough to know what the hell you are doing. You get comfortable, then they change it, then change it again. What the hell is this game anymore? Jagex seem to be caring more now because they never believed that the decline in players would really matter and now they decide to give us the chance to vote, once eoc has been around already for months. Absolutely stupid.
I actually like a lot that came with EoC, it isn't perfect but its actually ok. What is the point in trying to implement new combat abilities to make combat less click intensive and then bring out a poll to make the whole thing optional?
Jagex are in all honesty making this game far too confusing for the average player. We are constantly having to research in each new massive update on how to play effeciantly, if we wanted to really do that we would play another mmo in which you'd expect that to be necessary. Runescape was meant to be a watered down mmo, which was just easy enough to just play with minimal effort but ok gameplay. If jagex want to make runescape a real contender they need to do more than just EoC, they will need a much MUCH larger map for runescape, much better graphics and consistent game play. If that isn't possible then just stick to what we know, and keep it simple and fun.
You're taking yourself far too seriously now Runescape and its going to end you if you carry on."
"This crap is getting beyond a joke now. You either want to keep EoC combat or you remove the EoC combat. You simply can't have two completely different combat style systems in one game.
By pulling this poll it reeks of two things. Desperation and No-Confidence in the ability to maintain the EoC combat system.
Fair enough that the EoC isn't polished in we expected. But, by allowing two different combat styles shouldn't be allowed. How this even going to work on bossing that require some of the abilities used in the EoC?
I can see the advantages on bring back the old style combat for slayer, mini-games and the wilderness and general killing monsters.. but this idea.. is the worst.."

Time for me to buy an xbox.
Mack:
I don't believe it will work. There has to be so much changes within the current game to balance the two combat systems lol. Worst part about this is 07 will die because of it and my grinding for months amounts to once again nothing. If this kills 07 im not going back to the original game im sick of Jagexs shit honestly.
