    This won't last long unless it reaches level 4, but even then jagex would mess it up with new content.

    @Austin -jagex will do anything if a couple people on forums whine long enough

    @DannyRS -The poll is members only and i'm guessing most people who haven't played in years aren't members

    Friend sent me this, just posting it here if it hasn't been yet.

    ---

    This is your one-stop list of things that many players use that would not be in 2007scape. The purpose of this post is to allow readers to mentally sort out what did or did not come after August 2007. Basically:

    Don't vote for the 2007 servers if you're nostalgic for old/original versions of anything on this list, or enjoy anything on this list. Remember that falsely inflating the interest in 2007scape (voting yes even if you're not actually interested) could have negative financial repercussions for Jagex.
    Do vote for the 2007 servers if you dislike the things on this list.

    I created this list by using this page from RSWikia.

    The backup that Jagex has is from August 10, 2007. Updates between that date and the end of 2010-ish include:

    Bosses

    This is interesting. Whilst I would welcome the chance to play again on a 2007 era server, I have to wonder about the longevity of it. Certainly a lot of past players would return to give it a go, and many more would join simply to try and become one of the best at whichever area they focus on but I can see the playerbase dropping after the novelty of it has worn off. People will realise how much effort it takes starting over and not want to throw away all the time they spent on the 'main' servers. Returning players may see that they joined purely for nostalgic purposes and find that they just don't find it as enjoyable as they did 6 years ago, 6 years is a long time for people to mature and change their expectations of games.

    Perhaps most importantly, bots will be rife. It may be hypocritical of me to say this, but if the 2007 server is to live then botting as it exists today cannot infect it. Cheating on RuneScape changed completely with the release of Aryan. Before that, most people focused on cheating as just a way to get an edge, a few extra levels while you were at school. Afterwards and since, people bot numerous accounts at once, bot 24/7, farm millions and millions in gold. This ethos really did have an incredibly detrimental effect on RuneScape, it forced Jagex to take drastic measures and take the game in a direction that was necessary to save it but drove so many players - legitimate and cheaters (including myself) - away. In my opinion cheating would have to return to the pre-Aryan days (for the 2007 server, not the main game) where it supplemented your gameplay, instead of replacing it.

    Sorry for rambling on, I'm getting old. This was just meant to be a 'Looks neat, I'd definitely play again for a while'.

    That's one hell of a come back post!

    I totally agree with what you've said about botting not being what it used to be. One of reasons I stopped was that I didn't want to be associated with this PB users just trying to grow their e-peens.

    Could be interesting to see how an independent economy grows. I wonder inter-game trades, with people offering items on their current game accounts for items on the '07 game.

    Looks good to see this happening!! Might actually come back to Runescape now

    The only issue I see, is those gold farming bots, they could totally ruin the game... but I don't think it will be an issue at the start.. but can be after a while, but hopefully it can be stopped

    But starting from scratch again will kind of suck.. not as much time to play the game as we did when we were younger

    Anyways, this will be great if it comes back, look forward to playing it again

    Yeah, bossing would basically be obsolete. Bossing/Dungeoneering/Flipping or merching on g.e. are currently my favorite things to do on RS. All of those would be gone on 07scape.

    I won't be voting for it, but would still be interesting to see how many votes there will be by the end of tomorrow.
