    Hype has been over for a while.

    Over the last 2 weeks there has been mass bannings on 07, mostly throw away accounts, once they get banned, they rnt going to make new ones.

    Only "active" part of 07 is the people botting it. And people going for #1 for whatever reason

    Price being low? How?

    You pay the same to play 07 than to play on eoc.

    The service sucks. Servers are laggy and buggy. There is like zero development team, bug fixing takes ages! The site (if you can call that a site, it contains only redirect links) is shitty.

    There is no advertisement, fans making rs videos are not ads!

    Jagex literally makes money of this by connecting the two games together (same account and shits). It is unlogical because you cant play the two games the same time, and I bet not many people do it. To maintain the 80 world servers and a 5-man-development-team does not need 7$ per month.

    You realize that there isn't meant to be any development? Its an 07 server, its the way it is. Bugs and all, thats how it was in 07, thats how its staying.

    They don't need a website for it. its not mean't to be a game in its own. its mean't to be a different server of runescape, much like WOW or any other big MMO's have different gameplay servers.

    Why would they advertise something that is 6 years old? Everything about it is 6 years old, what would make a new player say, DAMN THAT GAME LOOKS AMAZING. Not the graphics, not the game play, not the bugs, not anything, its pure nostalgia. Thats the only reason jagex put out the servers, to keep current players from leaving and giving them something to play.

    Also, since when has jagex EVER advertised? I know they don't in the United states. I see WOW commercials all the time, other MMO's. Ive never seen a runescape one, they have said there-self, they don't do mass marketing.

    You're pay for runescape Membership, With that comes the ability to play EITHER EOC(the main game, which is always under development) 07 Servers, or classic servers.

    As for the laggy servers, yes they are, I believe its due to the fact they added the load of 80 some worlds for 07 to the already vast EOC servers. Making it much more laggy and server dcing. Thats what people wanted tho. they wanted 07 back.

    As for the $7 Membership, Like really? saying that is expensive... You can't even buy TWO gallons of gas for $7. Buying a new video game is ~$60, thats 9 months of rs membership, Not many games have enough content to keep you into it for more then 9 months, and if they do, its most likely cause you're paying for online services or bonus packs.

    Overall, its a great deal. And if you don't enjoy the game. Don't play it. Its crazy how much people will complain about something. No matter how much jagex changes the game, or listens to people. They can't make every single person happy.
    Its just the fact of life. If you find yourself botting every single xp you gain. Paying people to do your quests/firecapes. Only pking or pvming and raging when jagex does an update. I would suggest you find a new game. Runescape is always changing, weather we like it or not. No day will be the same as the day before. Ive never botted a single xp on my main, and i still love the game, but that its because i take breaks, and do things i enjoy, rather then dwell on all the things i don't :P

    I think their goal was to give people what they wanted but secretly hope that 07 servers die out. They knew it would happen eventually, it's just a matter of time. Lack of advertisement, the soon to be added extra payment for membership(right?), no new players as people move on, etc etc.

    I think the main thing is the new people. Many new players will be sticking to EOC because they've never played 07rs. New players is the thing that keeps a game from dying.

    If you played rs in the past you either play 07 untill you are bored or you keep playing EOC. What will someone do who found rs today, play the updated eoc or the 6 year older version? Pretty clear. Soon only a few 07 addicts will be the only ones playing it.

    Jagex wants the new people to go to eoc.
    its on homepage..

    I find 07 pointless even though its fun. Its not the most up-to-date version so of course people won't continually play it. Just like Runescape Classic died so will 07.

    I'm still waiting for september to come thou..

    When our 6 months "free" 07 end.

    If they will add an additional fee for 07 they'll dig their own grave doing it.

    I'm guessing that more than 1 out of 4 players will stop playing cause of this. (I will be once of those)

    In europe it's already 6-7 euros per month (about 9 dollars), if they increase that I'll just go back to LoL..

But I like 07, pking is awesome..Clans are awesome...Just wish more botting was being done so prices would be stabled.
    I was there for original 07. I love EOC with all the changes. Just take the good with the bad and keep botting. I hardly even experience the updates, so why should I care if they removed the wildy and put it back if I'm superheating 12 hours a day. Ain't nobody got time for PK.
