So I am thinking of getting a runescape account again for the first time since 2009, since I kind of am getting an urge to play runscape 07, but is it worth it? Are there enough people playing and will people continue to play it in the future? Is it worth grinding, getting decent stats again? Just asking cos I don't feel like wasting my time :P

Old school is popular. But i don't care for it. I don't like getting two of every rare item every holiday for free, skilling is a pita if you've done rs3 for even a day and you have to pay to play. (unless you are willing to spend 14m rsgp a month for membership)

 

 

 

Plus you cant even tell anyone you play, you'll get the same reply every time "aww cmon, play wow with me, rs sucks ass since eoc". But hey, if you enjoy it, it's not a waste of time.

Runescape 2 was the best. (the one after classic)

They have just spoiled it since then with the graphics updates as the old graphics were the best.

False, EOC ruined Runescape. 

Too much change has happened.

didn't they add some sort of crappy complicated combat system or something?

That is what EOC is. they multiplied everything by 10 instead of making it decimals and more

Well I played in 2005 and I can't play this new one for crap. @pixie_payne has recently been playing. I checked my older brother's account he's a boss xD

Graphics is way better now. UI is annoying. Can't do the custom writing like I used to do like wave: blue etc.

Yes the did. They're trying to making it more like Wow or any other online MMORPG with that entire bar which you spam three attacks only without paying for the membership.
