please don't regard this as spam, a mod told us this would be the best way to throw our opinion out there. i happened to draw the short straw when talking about the topic with a big group so i posted. ;D
I Second this, i would like Blitz back up. i want some challenge and yeah bring it back please.
it would be fun to have both servers up, blitz for skillin and everything else cause i treat classic as a pking server :\ and blitz was awesome just needed more items haha.
The only problem is money, it costs money to host multiple servers. If players can donate more to the server for the cause of it, Blitz can be put back up.
I remember I suggested having similar to this earlier. I think classic should be a ::master and ::pickup version of the game and blitz be the legit one. It would make Pking a he'll lot even and more interesting :)
Yeah I like Blitz a lot more, pking, skilling and items.
I say leave it down, because for one, we can't afford to host a server with 0-6 players on per day as it was last time, not too mention after 1 month of it being up everyone will be crying to bring classic back.
No...We can't let the hard work go away which Ryan spent in updating classic.
Well what about the years of work he put into blitz? Sure it cost money but like you said we have 30+ players on classic.. Atleast people you should donate $1 each player common.. Ryan pay for the vps by him self and server is up 24/7 with a little lag at times.. And us the players can't donate $1 dollar? To help him out? You know he does not have to pay for it.. It could just be like other servers that are up for an hour the offline again.. I don't think we want Ws to be up a few hours and then offline? Cause Ryan DOES not need to do what he's doing for us.
P.S I typed this on my iPhone so there my might be some typos
I really like how you said 'he doesn't need to pay for it, but he does' because it's true. Ryan, gives so much to the server and I don't know how he can do it. He pays for vps all the time and not to mention all the computer gear he needs to buy/update to keep the server online and safe. I'm sure we can all donate at least $1 each.
I would/would have already donated, but I cannot. One, my parents won't let me, and two we are starting to get a bit short on money... Otherwise, I would donate.
On the other hand, if Ryan CAN get this up, I do support this.
I didnt really play blitz because i had to start over and stuff. but i think its nice for you guys.

Classic wouldn't go away, both Blitz and Classic would be up at the same time. But blitz without a VPS would just be a bit of more lag. Not bad though.
To me, the lag really doesn't matter.
It'd be nice to have something else to do than just Classic.
If you guys can donate say $20 bucks a month, Blitz can be put back on WITH Classic still running. Ryan pays for the VPS now with the google ads on the website and webclient, but with that he has said he Barely breaks even, some times he ends up spending money out of his own pocket. For a game that is free you guys can throw a little money his way, even if you can only donate $.50 do it! Money is money! To run the VPS it costs ~$17, I said more because there will be a lot of months where people wont donate at all.
You guys also have to think, Ryan put 3 years of hard coding to make both existing Classic, and Blitz. This is the most advanced RSPS in the World! A lot of people don't understand how great it is.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
Classic is BORING.
I feel like Blitz now.
Yeah we need at least all together 20$ a month for Blitz. It can be 20 players donating 1$ each or 1 player donating 20$ ect.
I Say People Would Donate If There Was Anything Special For Donators,Even A Sign Beside Their Name, Or A Special Skill Cape.
OR
Ryan could switch the server from Blitz to Classic every couple of days.

Im like the only person on this server who has donated i think :P I used all my money.. :/
And ya, maybe Ry could put up a donator shop..
I'm not donating to someone/some place where:
1. One of the Owner ignores me.
2. I have to start all over from 4 years of work because he won't take 2 minutes to get my backup.
3. I never really played blitz that much because of (jeremy) my ban.

1. One of the Owners is extremely busy Coding 2 games while maintaining a social life.
2. It wasn't the games fault you shared information with someone else, or used the same password to get it hacked.
3. Nobody liked Jeremy, lets face it.
I'm just going to say this as calm as i can.
Ryan won't be running this server for ever, and we will grow up eventually get job's and live the rest of our lives as Ryan will, so you guys have to put something in perspective, It'll possibly and hopefully be long that he can keep both running up, but it'll be longer that he can keep 1 running.
This, period.

Lol, exactly what everyone was crying about during Blitz, which is why we brought back classic? Make up your mind people..
Maybee once in awhile, like once every other week (For a few hours), blitz, could come back online temporary, using the vps that classic had. After a few tests of this, if people really liked blitz again, then they might have a Motive to donate to worldscape. Then, Blitz might make a comeback.

Called it.
i know this is kinda redundant, but what if you had to have a fee of $1 to get a subscription to play blitz. then under your subscription (if we use a code or whatever), you can make accounts with it. therefore, every person that wishes to play blitz has to pay a flat $1

That's an interesting and very good proposition, i indeed second this.

We can't charge membership in any way, Jagex would whup our ass. We're using their client already which puts our ass in the way, and charging people to play, they will swoop in with lawsuit papers.
Yeah, a rsps got sued $200,000 because the owner charged like $5 a month.
