I think that maybe you are in the minority of players if you realize that the game will be impossible at the beginning. There are going to be a lot of good opportunities for players who want to build the game by contributing, but I think that a lot of people don't have that kind of patience (look at the rsc servers for example).

 

With any luck, having to pay $15 per month per bot will keep some gold-farming bots out of 2007scape.

I'm talking about the whole 58 page discussion, not your specific post.

 

And yes of course we're the minority, which will probably take up the majority of the servers. If people don't want to grind, they'll quit of course, leaving the majority of the server people who actually do want to do these grinds, thus being self sustaining (however, it will take some time to get there).

 

The first month will be alot of people whining and quitting, due to voters getting their first month free, and the forums will all be up and laughing at how their "predictions were true", discounting the fact that alot of people who didn't care about 07 servers will try it and be the ones actually causing those problems. Then a few months later, the real players will be there, and I think you'll see a decent amount of people there.

 

Also, alot of people seem to forget about 2 things regarding classic. There are no hiscores, which eliminates almost all forms of actually competing, and signups are closed. People will quit all the time for whatever reason they may have, but noone else will take their place. Of course the classic servers dwindled.

That hasn't stopped the F2P community. ;)

Yeah, that would stop most anything. Hopefully they don't restrict RS07 signups like that have for RSC.

THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P.

So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...

$15 is probably as good as that for the vast majority of 2007 wanna-plays :P

Yeah but you also had hiscores for quite some time before it was taken away. You guys relied on it so had to make changes in order to continue. Classic right from the split didn't have a hiscore system, and being an avid RSC player on my other account, I can assure you to this day the lack of hiscores have prevented true competition.

I seriously hope not too. However with the additional member pricing to play (Face it everybody, 500k isn't happening, not by a long shot), I don't see Jagex restricting signups.

I almost want to vote now so I can nostalge for a month for free, but at the same time, I don't want to screw Jagex when I don't pay $15 extra to play the game.

 

In that case, I'd definitely wait for the final day(s) of voting. If it does somehow get close enough to 250k, maybe then vote due to the $5 possible price. Unfortunately though, that is not looking very likely :(

but I think it will be less prevalent than the main game, and hopefully almost non-existent for a while.

I think it'll be the complete opposite. Botting will be epidemic in 2007 servers as people too impatient in the race to the top cheat their way up either by botting directly on their characters or real world trading gold. It wouldn't surprise me one iota if the first whip to be claimed was done so by a botter/goldfarmer and sold for irl money.

This is, of course, one of the aspects that will likely happen. The other issue is, of course, the problem with re-building the game's economy. With everyone starting at scratch and no gear and/or items that can be bought and sold except through the old-fashioned "bank sale" format, it's pretty much going to be DIY for a while. Everyone is going to have, essentially, the same goods and materials as everyone else and no money. As such, there will be little, if any, player to player trading going on.

 

This was the same issue that happened when they reintroduced RSC. As a result, you're going to have people buying and selling crap in the stores again, which means that sold goods will plummet in value and bought goods will rise. No one will make money and everyone will be poor and [bleep]ing about it.

 

Ah well, I guess some people will enjoy this system, like the 120 or so people still playing RSC daily ...

Im assuming rather than gold trading it'll be resources. Like my 50 logs for your 40 ores. Which is quite nice. As it suits both players trading.

The difference between a reset in 07 and Rsc is how beneficial quests will be in the beginning. Dragon weapons can be bought in shops and many quests offer gp rewards, also nats can be crafted. Meaning gp theoretically can be generated much more rapidly as more people can have access to high Althing much more quickly than they could in a reset Rsc.

 

Those of us who know what to do wont see getting established as being as impossible as what most people who will play and shortly thereafter quit rs07 will.

I put my name on the petition, even though I have no interest in it. By no interest, I mean I don't care if it goes forward or not since it will have exactly zero impact on me.

I do know that there are a core group of players who are quite passionate about this, so I said yes for their sakes.

Barrows will be a much better money maker than 85 slayer and much easier to begin. Best armor widely available in the game, low requirements to welfare and with agic dart it's more or less profitable magic xp, and a way to stockpile bloods for pking ;).

 

Prayer pots will be a pain to aquire, but some of us who know what to do will be farming barrows within a month of opening pretty easily. Then just stock the armor til the main economy is established enough to profitably sell the armoir

Sure, yeah - and how long will it take for the 100 or so of you who will stick it out to get to those levels?

Stronghold of Security is 2008 content. Sorry.

 

100 people willing to do the work for a couple months and then pking is better than the barren that is the current wilderness currently IMO. But once again that's how I feel. You have to understand for many of us it's this or nothing... If 07rs is a huge flop then it flops and I go back to my everyday life without rs. Simple as that, eoc supporters should want 07rs to succeed because for many like me it's either this or no rs. Which I'm fine with, I'd much rather be able to provide revenue for the live game then not play at all and contribute nothing to runescape whatsoever

If you had a chance to rebuild a game you loved with the mechanics and gameplay that has a fan base would you not be passionate about it as well?

There's a massive great button when you login game now which says "vote". Does anyone know what happens if you click it? Does it automatically count as 'yes' or do you get a chance to confirm it? Looking at the massive spike in votes I'm assuming it automatically counts you as a yes. If it is that's piss poor consultation.

Not really. I'd prefer to stay with the progression I've made rather than revert back to the person I was. Evolution etc etc
