I don't even remember specific era's of the game.. I've played them all, from right after RS2 came out, through the bounty hunter, god sword times, through the graphics updates.. and I liked everything up to GWD, no graphics updates, no OP weapons (apart from Godswords bc its nice PK loot).
I just like OSRS as it is, I hope that they don't follow the same timeline of updates that they did pre-eoc. If they release new graphics, I hope they go about it the same way that they went about adding OSRS back.. Create an entirely separate server with new accounts and stats. Don't merk the game that's successful right now.
I understand that this may take away some players from OSRS, but I think many people would play both versions. And then you'd also be able to gauge which it is that people prefer.
