I'm fairly sure this was already known but folks wanted a previous version of Runescape game.No they undoubtedly said in the original OSRS poll there wasn't a later complete backup available. Plus folks were already enjoying old school rs gold content such as GWD (wasnt in OSRS on release), spirit wars, and Fist of Guthix. I have a hard time thinking that Runescape players wanted by reverting all of the way back to 21, these eliminated. Before EOC, folks were fed op with soulsplit, summoning, and overloads, and there were calls for a server. EOC just made the moment. You are adding your recollection and personal feelings. Game servers were being asked for by the large majority. August onwards means that they were searching for backups going further back as 2006scape was the goal.

Does everything change? - Since, when EOC was released that the majority of the Runescape players did not enjoy it and they desired RS2 ago, but Jagex whined and stated they did N'T have any copies saved apart 2007 and that's why 07 scape premiered - However now they have verified that they do have more copies before EOC and are using a few of the models for OSRS Soul Wars.Runescape match has been dead before EoC, EoC was the thing that made Runescape game unplayable for most Runescape players. There is is no reason to wipe Runescape game and make a brand new one with 2012. Obtaining a 2012 backup doesn't mean it's functional enough to be made into an entire game. There is more that goes into it than immediately jumping on 1 paragraph in a blog post.

No dude. Nearly all at the time wanted 2006scape, partially if the server. Thats why it was known as by the neighborhood 2007scape. Jagex didnt have a 2006 backup and said aug 2007 was. If jagex didnt back up pre eoc, it might have been dumb. Imagine nov 2012, eoc releases and Runescape game is completely broken. People figure out strategies to delete different accs from the database for example or wipe their stats. They would definitely have had rs2's copy in the preceding week.

Lied is a strong word. We know that Jagex workers have a history of not communicating or leaving notes as soon as they've left the company (probably down to Jagex at this stage ) and it's quite possible back ups were made by people who had abandoned and were left on a server unfamiliar from the Jagex staff in the moment. Besids there obviously will be 2012-scape. OSRS and RS3 is a money cow project and adding a new dev team to conduct a brand new product is a drastic change that they wouldn't do unless Runescape game was moving heavily into decline to buy rs3 gold. Really we have to understand how harmonious 2012 code is with the present OSRS infrastructure, but just moving models/animations would already be a massive time save if they wanted to reuse assets.
