The Wilderness Guardians - SMF Forums (Archive)

You could be right, but ask yourself what would happen if you're not.
All the players who had faith in 2007 scape would quit and it would become like RS Classic.
All the clans that are re-opening would close, and probably more clans.
So much hope is going into this that if it fails, it's going to crush everything.

But my reasons address the PVP too Randy.
Training for the PVP is still grinding... and you'll HAVE to skill to work your way up to rune armour and swordfish and pizzas and good potions.
Without updates, the game will be decent but it will expire.

Here are possible reasons why 2007-scape might end up being more difficult to get up and running than 2013:

1. No new content means it has a shelf life of about 2-3 years
2. 2007 PKing was awesome because of numbers... numbers which we won't reach again. We will not be maxing opts in 2007 scape.
3. Most players will not be willing to pay for it... and let's face it, we'll have to pay for it. Most people will choose the account that they've spent years training.
4. I believe many players will HATE the grinding of skills and the lack of content. It'll be charming for a few months, sure, but what happens after then?

Agreed Randy. The bit where we disagree on is the solution.
I am of the opinion that it'll be harder to have a good clan world in 2007scape than in current scape.

Might leave WG, join VR.

Hello mate, welcome back!
Into looks good, I don't see any problem with it.
Do you really have diabetes lol?

Chris Drops a Potato Into Gene's Mixing Bowl

Yes well I didn't like being so high.
Now my rep is back down to controllable levels :P

No, I'm not going to vote. It is abhorrent to every fibre of my being.
And if they charge $15, the update will fail.
Even if they charge $5, it will fail, but slightly less.

It's already at 145k. I suspect we'll get the 250k, but not the 500k.

When did you start playing sir?
Do you remember all this about 2007:

1. A lot of shit, like cooking fish, is done click by click
2. There is no GE, you're standing in a market shouting for what you want and if you want something obscure, you'd better pay through the nose for it.
3. No Summoning or Dungeoneering - meh I don't mind this so much
4. Glitches galore that they won't fix, but if you exploit them you'll get perm banned.
5. The run system is fucked. You'll end up running backwards if you want to go forward.

I could go on if you still think it was better than it is now.
You're just nostalgic.

Dear Mark Gerhard,

I don't really know how to tell you this, but I'm joining the Convent. I think I realized it That night you picked your nose In your closet and I saw you Drive over The elephant in the corner. I'm sure you're Scarred enough to understand That your driving sucks. I'm returning Your toe ring to you, but I'll keep Your neighbors dog as a memory. You should also know that I Hate your cooking and Our friendship is ruined.

Go milk a cow,
His Lordship

Enough to make the wilderness awesome?
Nope.
At least solo PKing would be good when people work their way up to runite ores...
OH WAIT, NO IT WON'T BECAUSE YOU'LL STILL BE PKING IN ADDY AND MITHRIL!!!!

LOL GF
GF
GF

You are most definitely exiled son.

LOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOL
That has to be the funniest thing you've ever posted!!!!

Rarely do I chuckle IRL at the internet.

I'd rather see Bush back in office than WG members on oldscape.

2007 died first I'm pretty sure.

Good for you, who is anyone else to take away your happiness?
I'm just questioning whether you'll be happy in the first place.

If you think it will be as fun or even close, you are delusional.
Alain, think harder about this.
Was it REALLY that good or are you associating those times with the magic of youth?

You guys are all going to drown in your own filth.
Best of luck to you.
I'm not ever stepping foot in oldscape.

I reset the poll since I added a fourth option - to play neither.
Please re-vote.

Chane the poll so that it's not so stylised.
Simply "What will you be playing when 2007-scape comes"
"2007-scape"
"Modern Runescape"
"Both"

That way, we can get rid of the force-fed opinions.
"I wouldn't even consider playing somethign so antiquated, even if it gets updates."
I wouldn't, but it has nothing to do with being antiquated.

RuneScape has advanced as a game but the PvP is complete shit, everyone knows it.
This way people can play the game they've grown to like AND others can enjoy the oldskool PvP.
Seems like a win-win to me.

1. Not going to pay Jagex more money
2. Not going to ignore the last 5 years (2007-2013) that I've worked on my account
3. Not going to relive four years (2003-2007) to achieve goals I've already achieved
4. Not going to pour countless hours into a game that doesn't change with me
5. Not going to play two Runescapes at once and waste double the time
6. Not going to enjoy 2007-scape like everyone thinks. A lot of shit has come since, but going back will remove MANY good updates.*
7. Not going to enjoy splitting WG into even more sub-clans, assuming some people don't pay.
8. Not going to believe that a 2007 wilderness will be much better than a 2013 wilderness, given how small the clan world is.

* NOTE: Everyone is recalling a highly fantasized 2007-scape where everything was awesome. In adulthood, 2007-scape is going to be a lot less magical and I'll bet you're going to be very disappointed after a dozen hours of gameplay. You remember those times so fondly because of nostalgia, nothing more.
