Melo Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yes, I will find the outspoken players who fit his description. That doesn't necessarily mean that the general player base behaves like them. If you play the game, you will find hordes of people who do not whine, complain or anything like that. You will find dozens upon dozens of people who are just enjoying a game. Btw, I've been both on the RSOF and on here since I heard about the possibility of RS07, and to be quite frank, I find the attitude of those pro-07 to be far better. Sorry if I skip words in my sentences from time to time. My brain tends to be a step or two ahead of my fingers when I type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotherBrainII Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 You may very well find them to be true, but I don't. After actually playing the game and having conversations with various people I've never met before, those assumptions ('generalizations') couldn't be more wrong. I have yet to find a whiny person, nor a hardcore nostalgia purist. Though, I have found people with concerns about the game as it as right now, who I have discussed possible updates with to fix minor/major problems with. But maybe I haven't looked in the right places. I suggest looking all over the EoC, where pretty much anyone who so much as hints at liking it is immediately barraged with abuse from ten thousand clones of DClawUrMomsAssOpen or whatever they call themselves nowadays. Most major CCs can't go an hour without having someone come in and vomit incoherent spam all over the place about how much better 2007scape is. So no, I'm not doing this thing where I'm not allowed to have any opinion of the general pro-07 community without having a 5000-page academic dissertation to back it up.

Sy_Accursed Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Stfu, they said an additional fee, doesn't necessarily mean they aren't just assuming you'll be buying EOC too. No need to be a douchebag about it. What exactly do you think the word "additional" means? Are you purposely feigning ignorance? Are you purposely feigning stupidity? I just said, since its a members only poll they could be assuming the people interested are already members and saying it will be an additional $5. That's how I read it. Yes an additional fee to normal membership - ergo both the base normal membership is required and the additional fee.Regardless of someones membership status it cannot be an additional fee if they are not paying a fee in the first place, that is what additional means. Just like you cannot have additional sky TV packages without sky tv in the first place. 1 Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoko Kurama Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 @Zeker_Jane Sy_Accursed has said what I was about to say. It appeared to me, on your previous posts, and still now, that you are implying that if 2007 is not free, then people will be able to pay for 2007 without paying for EoC and vice versa. If this is not what you were implying, my apologies, can you clarify what you were saying? If you are implying what I think you are, then I don't think there's anything to debate, Jagex has explicitly said that if you fall short of the 500K vote, then you will have to pay an additional fee for 2007 in addition to the standard P2P package. So, then, it'd be something like the standard 5$ to 8$ + 5$ in order to play 2007. Edited: replaced '-' with 'to' for clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not implying anything I said I was under the impression that 2007 will have a separate fee based on how I interpret what Jagex said. Then people started talking shit and I replied. I haven't seen Jagex explicitly say you must buy both PTP and 2007 membership to just play 2007. 99 farm easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruinous Edge Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I don't see how this is causing an issue, Jagex clearly stated in the poll that anything under 500k votes would incur an additional $5 on top of current rs membership. If 500k votes were reached though the additional fee would be scrapped and membership to 07 servers would be inclusive with runescape membership.It really is that simple... :?

C'mon guys and gals, let's try and be a bit more civil, yes? Zerker Jane, the original newspost said that if they get between 250k and 500k supporters then the 07 servers will come back "with a smaller additional membership fee of around $5 extra." This indicates pretty clearly that people will have to pay an extra $5/month on top of the existing membership fee in order to access the 07 servers. But considering the count is at nearly 400k, it seems pretty likely it will reach the 500k+ mark so that 07Scape will not cost anything extra. 1 Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero.

Ginger_Warrior Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Referring to the epitome of the EoC community as "self righteous" and full of "hubris" is an ad hominem attack and has no part in a sensible discussion.

Please start treating other TIFers as such. Where did I do that? "A fair portion" = The entire EOC community? That's not what Ad Hominem is, by the way. It would be Ad Hominem if I was insulting him to make his argument (which was actually just an insult against the 07 community) look worse. I was not doing that as his argument was already poor, I was just pointing out that he's the EOC version of the portion of the 2007 community he hates. Last but not least, I get called stupid in this very thread for liking a different version of runescape and that's all cool but I'm an [wagon] for telling you to learn what words mean?
