Massively multiplayer online title RuneScape will have its old servers running the game's 2007 version brought back online, developer Jagex announced today.
Old School RuneScape (a version of the game that ran the same way in 2007) will be launched to satisfy popular player demand. This version will run on separate servers from the current 12-year-old RuneScape.

All players who participate in the poll will receive their first month of Old School RuneScape for free, even if the vote ends in favor of paid subscriptions.
Tomorrow, February 20, at 3 p.m. ET, the developers will host a live chat in RuneScape Forums. safebin ET to answer questions about the return to Old School. Jagex allows players to vote even if they haven't voted yet.
