RuneScape Classic Would be Re-opened
On 16 May 2006, Jagex upgraded RuneScape's game engine, improving the game's loading times and reducing its memory requirements. The engine was upgraded again on 26 June 2007 to allow the addition of future content. On 1 July 2008, Jagex released a beta of their "High Detail" mode for members, which was extended to free players two weeks later. Before the launch, Jagex stated that it would be officially revealed at the 2008 E3 trade show. In September 2009, it was announced that Runescape Gold Classic would be re-opened to the public, including a feature where players could rent and administer their own server, giving them the ability to allow or ban any player of their choice, as well as enabling or disabling cheat codes they want. Two months later Jagex announced that the plan would be dropped.
