[Title suggestions welcome]
In a recent livestream, Kieren & Sween responded somewhat positively to the idea of servers for an untouched version of Old School as it existed in August 2007. However, they expressed reasonable concern that such a service might divide the playerbase, and offered seasonal 2007 servers an alternative.
I think they should take that idea and run with it for the next League: Vanilla (again, better titles are welcome). Leagues III would drop players into a copy of RuneScape as it existed on August 10, 2007 - no Rooftops, no Motherlode, no Zeah, etc. This would provide a great gameplay challenge while satisfying one of the biggest requests from the community. Rewards should be scaled based on what was more difficult in 2007 than in 2020 - for example, 99 agility or mining would be worth a LOT of points.
