The 06/07 argument is weak, changes were not that significant directly compared to GE/EOC
You are one of those players, that play 2006 Remakes because you don't like the
current Runescape.
Runescape (2) has pretty much
3 Eras. (Not including Runescape Classic times and before that, that is a whole different story).
1) Beginning or Runescape 2 till Release of Pest Control - Old School Era, the best game ever made.
2) Pest Control till death of Wilderness and Free Trade - "Mid" School Era, "Noob Era", garbage game.
3) Death of Wilderness and Free Trade till EoC - New School Era, worst game ever made.
2006 and 2007 do have SIGNIFICANT differences. YOU do not understand that, because you didn't "grow up" in Runescape BEFORE 2006. Players that started 2006 (even many that started 2005, depends how fast your personal "learning course" is) or later have NO CLUE about that.
MOST of 2007 voters are those "kids" (under 20, definitely) that would even like 2010 etc, maybe even right pre EOC game. They aren't Old School people. They don't play 2006 for 2006 era, they play 2006 because they don't have later releases.
Saying 2006 and 2007 are close to being the same game, is stupid.
