Bogus. OSRS was made because people wanted a pre-EoC version of the game. The only reason it ended up being the August 2007 version is because it was the latest complete backup that they could get up and running in no time. The original outcry though was for a 2006 version. Bunch of people said they only needed a 2006 version with no updates. Jagex was like "best we can do is 2007, its the most complete near that time frame." People agreed to that, Jagex ran a poll, I voted yes so they could have their game and because I figured it would bring in more money to spend on the main game...they were never going to get the votes for it to be free or updated. Then Jagex decides to give them updates and no extra fees anyway. Wouldn't have voted yes knowing that but whatever. I feel like the original core that wanted 2006 either didn't remember quite how it was, or got drowned out by the people that realized they could try to make the game into pre-eoc as much as possible and left so now you don't have them. Pretty sure " most people " just wanted pre-eoc (eoc made a big amount of people quit or play less and less) , the ones that want 2006 etc are most likely mistaking community for gameplay. In 2006 the community made the game for me, I loved doing slayer back then because of all the people you met whilst slaying. You can't change the mind of the players by bringing back the old game unfortunately I wish they could :/ For me 2009 ~ 2010 were the best years for me gameplay wise
