:o Hi since I saw 07scape unexpectedly came back and then I saw these 2 articles about it... Then I just clicked over and read 2 articles :D @Short Term Gain, Long Term Pain Dude I really agree on you :D 07Scape ain't staying too long and the community is surely gonna be split up... Had the same idea that they should put clan chat in old rs too! And bots! I'm sure as long as RS exists, bots will exist as well :I I am a Chinese myself and I have to agree that there are too many 'Chinese' bots :S (quite ashamed of my own country) But anyway... As Jagex gets pressed on bringing back 07scape... They have to "act according to their players' will" and satisfy them with what they (emotional) want. I personally did not join RS before the release of the newer RS2 version, but I have played the old RS2 version of RS private servers :S to see why do most players want it back. Then what I saw was mostly the PKing that they are proud of. Just as you said, Pkers of the 'easy and fast gratification' type have a hard time with EOC. They aren't really willing to change and they miss the old days that they had fun owning others around :o But somehow this type of players are a bit more in the overall proportion of players and so... we see the result.... For the time and staff needed for the development of the game, I do understand it takes a considerable time to put into these servers because I have had (a little bit xD) experience in coding and to even sustain the servers........... To be honest if I had to choose between EOC or 07Scape, I'd choose EOC and to spend a bit of time to be adapted to it. This really really save more time for Jagex to put more effort they should now to the actual game........... Afterall, we all just wanted to 'show off' and feel a sense of achievement, isn't it? xD @2013 SIMPLICITY!!!!!!!! That's exactly the same as what I thought people wanted 07Scape back as one of the reasons! Well I also like simplicity myself xD but I understand things have to come to a change... and while some are fond of the memories, they can't just stop new players from joining... (I'm guessing) Especially in this time where the whole world's economy's getting worse overtime, Jagex needs to eat... They aren't robots afterall >.< It can't stay at that age just for the old players. Memories are memories, but you can't keep them forever. You have to go on. So why can't people let go.... Oh well, if you want to keep being an experienced player, then go on and learn about the EoC, the new updates! (Maybe) RuneScape is a game that has some real big evolution, with the situation it has now, it's got to follow up with the world.... It's true that if one friend prefers the EoC while the other prefers the 07Scape, they may eventually not talk to each other anymore (if they only talk about RS stuff) then some of the community gets split up. Maybe they aren't willing to spend anymore time to this game to learn stuff all over again.... Anyway, to conclude, the possible reasons that players wanted old school back are that they want to feel proud... be simple.. be unique... and even, maybe just to follow their friends on supporting it. I do agree with you, with most of the reasons, and hope this get back to normal soon >_< The above are my own expressions and agreements on your articles... I'm sorry if I unintentionally insulted someone or hurt someone or am actually wrong about some facts :S (I'm not really good at using words!) But afterall, from what I've seen, RuneScape has the biggest community I've ever seen from the games I've played. This is one thing that I'm quite proud with RS. While we might be too negative, pessimistic >_< on what is happening... I hope people feel better when it's all over and gets back to normal, whatsover the consequences or results. We all have our feelings and opinions but Jagex got to follow what most players want.... I just hope that RS Community still stays what it is, so enthusiastic, so willing to give their time, idea and opinions on this MMORPG. PS: Wow have no idea I talked that much O_O
