I think that most people forgot that the 667 revision exists. It came out in 2011 which I believe was the prime of RS2.

667
✓ Torva, Pernix, Virtus
✓ Divine Spirit Shield
✓ Dungeoneering/Chaotics
✓ RoTM - Steadfast/Ragefires/Glaiven boots/Armadyl battlestaff/Storm of Armadyl
✓ Old item models

718
x new item models for torva,virtus,pernix,barrows, and all metal weapons/armor sets
x squeal of fortune
x dominion tower
x polypore dungeon
x queen black dragon
x fight kiln

718 was the downfall of rs2 imo because it introduced easy to obtain overpowered items that devalued older content and made pvm easier:
- Dominion tower: Introduced swift gloves, goliath gloves, spellcaster gloves which were overpowered and made barrows gloves worthless. goliath gloves allowed you to attack unarmed with the same bonuses as a whip
- Polypore dungeon: Introduced polypore staff and ganodermic armor. Polypore staff was an extremely cancerous weapon that had a very high dps output while costing almost nothing to use. Ganodermic gear was also very cheap and had extremely high magic defence which devalued karils armour which was previously used for corp beast because of its reasonable magic defence.
- Fight kiln: Introduced the tokhaar-kal which had +4 higher strength than the fire and max capes. It also crashed the price of furies by offering an uncut onyx as an optional reward. Imagine spending months training to achieve max stats and you can't even use your max cape because an overpowered cape with +4 higher strength was released.
- Queen black dragon: Introduced the royal crossbow which had a +15 range bonus advantage on the chaotic crossbow, making the item worthless.
- Updated item models: A majority of players prefer the old item models over the new. One thing we've learned from the release of OSRS is that people prefer older content and dislike drastic changes to the game.

667 torva/virtus/pernix

718 torva/virtus/pernix

There's probably more that I missed but I strongly advise against creating a 718 server. If you want all of the newer content without cancerous updates 667 would be the best choice.

Added some of this to Comm Gen Survey Thread. Thank you @Killswitch

Also to everyone else, sorry for the delay. I intended to get it all done last night, which I did for the most part. I just had irl shit to handle that prevented me from posting it in a timely manner.
