Hello friends,
In this topic i will discuss a few points why we all should vote for 2007 Servers and try to convince His Lordship like minded people to change there mind about this whole situation. As someone who has recently retired and seen most of the ups and downs of the clan world since 2004 i have a few fairly new pointers and reminders we should take a look at.
1. 2007 A Golden Era
Its a pretty basic one but it's really necessary to start with this. As much as we think that reliving the same golden era of Runescape will ruin it for most of us but we can't deny the fact 2006-2008 Era was indeed the Runescapes best and specially in accounts of PKing and Clanning. Dozens of Clans and PKing teams were made in this era that went on to be the first few innovators of Clanning and PKing Community.
2. PKing and the Wilderness will be active
Here's something most of us are forgetting about 2007 era is that due to the lack of content in the game (Atleast as compared to today) PKing and Clan Wars was actually something people did on the weekends for fun with friends but this doesn't mean people will do it again but slowly and gradually a lot of people that join this game will ultimately join the PKing scene of this Server.
3. Jagex does actually listen to there Player-base
It may come as a shock to some of you but Jagex does listen to its player-base and the only reason we have seen such a drastic change in the game since 2009 is because of Jagex listening to there core gamers which is mostly and sadly are PvM'ers and Skillers. Clanning and PKing Community and specially Clanning Community have kept themselves isolated in terms of keeping up with Jagex, may it be in regards of feedbacks or following there upcoming decisions on rsof. Clanning and PKing Community have always reacted when a big decision comes into a move but as we have seen from the past when we all talked as one we were heard, seriously which other game companies you have seen that has actually gone back on there big decisions such as Wild Removal etc? None!
4. 100k Votes and 150k to go!
I was personally busy because of Valentines day (yay!) that's why it came very late to my knowledge that Jagex was doing something like this and i was suddenly very excited and i hope most of you are aswell. It's only been a day and we have shocking 100k votes already which is a massive numbers considering the vote is only for members. This much response only re-assures that there will be many old faces and communities returning to play this Server. Remember, the game is only as successful as much as its community to promotes it to be. I had a few messages on Facebook reminding me to vote (yes i have my Runescape friends on Facebook, Hi Danni!) and this is the enthusiastic part of this Community that we all love.
5. End to Runescape Private Servers
I might be wrong about this and most of you will still say "Oh they will still play private server because of all the free stuff they can get there" but believe it or not there are players that play Private Servers because they have to and they don't have much choice in that matter. 2007 Server will be a very good viable option for them and we will definitely see people shifting from Private Servers to 2007 Server as its a much safer option. Who here remembers 2006scape? I certainly do as it was one of the most underground discussion of Clanning Community and a lot of people were considering to shift but now we don't have to!
6. The Game will be Updated
If we reach our 250k votes goal Jagex promises us a small development team that will do the following
"These servers will receive basic maintenance for bug fixes and little improvements, with the possibility of integrating our modern anti-bot technology over time, if it becomes necessary."
Even if we dont reach our 250k votes, don't get disheart as its not the end of the world. We will work our way around this game and make it respected in the eyes of Jagex and make it a game worth updating. If Jagex see the numbers flow they will work for them and as far as i know Jagex most probably is staggered to see such a reponse in just 24 hours.
7. What have we got to loose?
Personally speaking, with the recent closures of clans like Solace and RSD i have lost all hopes for the Clan world ever reviving but this server is a little glimmer of hope i see in all this darkness. Sure, the process of 2007 Server ever becoming a buzzing scene for clanning may seem impossible now to some but slowly and gradually we will get there. There are dozens of young kids once like us are joining this game and this is for them. We felt the magic when we played it in the young years of this game and despite slowness in XP and Moneymaking methods, we all somehow learned our way to a perfect Clanning scene but now with so much knowledge we think we will fail? I dont think so.
I urge all of you to vote as much as you can and bring back the game we all loved so dearly. The success of this server entirely depends on us. Starting from the beggining may seem radical but this also means we can do it right.
Make this game worth bragging about again, i remember back in 2006 i'd goto my real friends and recommend them games like Runescape and WoW as people recommend games like League of Legends nowadays but recently most of us or atleast i have kept this game a secret from my friends, it maybe the reason that i am 21 years old and playing a MMORPG and leading wars by screaming all night at a computer seemed silly but i want to be proud of this game as i once was. We have a Golden opportunity and we all should work together to avail it.
Spread the words, contact your old friends, post it in different communities and make them read this topic. Hope this helps all the undecided people i recently have been talking to.
Happy Scapin!
