why?

 

[Hey Listen!]

I recently started playng agan too. Going for 99 woodcut! Netflix powers active!

I'm not the only one that did this

Glad that RS07 is back. Been playing since 06 and EoC was the downfall of the game for me.

 

[oath2order]

why?

Let me correct that, sorry. I'm not in favor of the 2007 servers getting any kind of updates whatsoever. I think that's ridiculous that Jagex considered it. These people want to live in the past, that's fine, but they really shouldn't be getting any updates. I think the worst is where Jagex decided that they might implement modern-day bot technologies on 2007Scape. I'm sorry, but if you want to live in the past, you get to deal with the bot problems of the past.

MY favorite quote from the forums was this.

"Congratulations on teaching kids that all they have to do to get what they want after you have said 'No' is to throw a tantrum and spam the forums for a few months."

By the way, how many RuneScapians does it take to change a light bulb?

Spoiler

80,000

1 to change the light bulb and 79,999 others to say the old one was better

Its more that people want to play the game when it was in its prime. The current game has been plagued by bots and dicers/FFers for years, both of which completely raped the economy into the ground. While I've kept my mouth shut over the years concerning the games bad updates, EoC was by far the worst update/makeover to ever be introduced into RS which caused even more of the already dwindling community to quit. I couldn't be happier with 07scape, in fact you're the first person I've come across who has had anything negative to say about it.

One common complaint I've heard from the Old School crowd is that the game is a lot easier now, post-EoC. I'm confused as to how combat is easier now, especially since prayers aren't 100% effective, you actually have to bring food, and it isn't just point and click

I played a lot last year but my internet has been so bad i just quit for the time being. The new combat is so much more fun than the older combat. I had more fun with the older runescape though.

Been playing some 07scape with a friend, funtimes.

While I don't think I'll play any Live RuneScape, has anyone seen the new trailer for The World Wakes quest? Looks awesome.

 

[Kip]

That was so cool! I really want to get back into it but they are way to desperate for money, they try to drain every last penny from your wallet.

 

[Hey Listen!]

SOOOO tempted to just make a new account and play with you guys. This is gonna be bad for my grades though. First league of legends and now this. Wish my level 80 account wasn't hacked . But a TBT clan would be really fun.

Old School RuneScape is here to stay! In the poll run during February 2013, RuneScape members voted for the re-introduction of a version of the game from August 2007. Although the poll didn’t reach the 500,000 target needed to offer the service free to members, we have decided that for an initial six month period, starting from the 1st of March 2013, Old School RuneScape is open to all RuneScape members at no extra charge!

It’s our aspiration that this newfound community will flourish and continue to grow, and so far you’re off to a fantastic start. Once September rolls around, we'll review the level of support in Old School Servers. If they're still high, we'll maintain the level of service and keep it at no extra cost for RuneScape members.

A small dedicated development team will stay working on Old School RuneScape to provide maintenance, guided by regular community polls to decide any games to the game. We’ll also be adding in more of the modern game’s anti-bot technology so we can maintain our zero tolerance stance against cheating, botters and gold farmers across both services.

If you're a RuneScape veteran hungry for nostalgia, get stuck right in! As long as you're a RuneScape member you'll have access, and while you'll start afresh on the 2007 servers, it won't affect your progress in the main game.

Enjoy!

- The RuneScape Team

Yay!
