User blog:Host JD/New for Old

Background
There has been a recent trend, after the re-realease of Free Trade, in which newer members who started playing the game post-2007 are leaving the game because of the botting, and other problems associated with the return of Free Trade. However, older members and players that have been around pre-2007 seem to be returning or taking a greater interest in the game.

Comebacks and Loses
Some of my good friends have started to lose interest in the game, the most notable being Lemar, the creator of 3bo. However, players are returning to the game, players like Daverick and Dragongoldie, who were my two closest friends pre-2007 are planning to return to RuneScape. Daverick was #3 overall for the duration of Yogosun's reign as #1 player in RuneScape. Dragongoldie was somewhat of a brother to me in the game, we pretty much did everything together and had fun until he decided it was time to move on. Both of these players have decided to come back, not to fully invest their time in the game again but to enjoy the game play and catch up with old friends.
