I stopped at EOC because it took way the charm of what made RS what it was, the casual MMORPG that had no over complicated systems. I had been playing since the days of 2d sprites. However, I was as you said glad they made 07 because now I can relive the glory days.
EOC I mean. Runescape was always super unique with pretty much everything, especially the combat and all of that. Why they tried to modern MMOify it didn't make too much sense to me.
Even though I hate them I totally understand the microtransactions. The game is dying but the micro payments are working.
