Anyone looking forward to RuneScape 2007?

Post Reply New Topic

If you didn't already know, Jagex added a news post on their website a couple of days ago about a vote on whether we would like to see a server from August 10th 2007 added. This server will be completely seperate from the main game (much like RuneScape classic) but will also include a highscore list.

Only RuneScape members can vote, the vote should start around 12pm UK time on Friday 15th Feb 2013.

We need at least 50,000 votes to see a 2007 server added.

You can read the full post on the RuneScape home page, as well as a forum thread where you can also post about it.

Here's the full list of votes we will need and what we will get from the amount of votes:

50,000 or more votes:

2007 servers will come back as a separate entity to the current Runescape game, with an additional membership fee of around $15. These servers will receive no content updates and only critical maintenance.

250,000 or more votes:

2007 servers will come back as a separate entity to the main Runescape game, supported by a small development team, with a smaller additional membership fee of around $5 extra. These servers will receive basic maintenance for bug fixes and little improvements, with the possibility of integrating our modern anti-bot technology over time, if it becomes necessary.

500,000 or more votes:

2007 servers will come back as a separate entity to the main RuneScape game, with a dedicated development team, with no extra membership fee. These servers will receive regular maintenance, some content updates and integration of anti-bot technology if necessary.

750,000 or more votes:

2007 Servers will come back as a separate entity to the main RuneScape game, with a larger dedicated development team with no extra membership fee and the free portion of the game available to all. These servers will receive continuous maintenance, modern anti-bot technology if necessary and - crucially - regular members' polls to determine which updates you want to see prioritised.

Personally I think we can get 250,000 votes over the 14 day voting period, but I think anything higher than that is a bit unrealistic.

What are your thoughts?

I haven't played Runescape since like 2006 or so. I heard they scrapped the player trading mechanism (and henceforth ruined the whole economic aspect of the game). Does this server have the old system in place? If so, I might actually check it out for nostalgia's sake.
