@Ems, soon in English or in Jagexspeak?
Edit: MMG said soon for new skill on Jan 18, and it came out almost 3 months later. So now that you said soon, we know it will be a very long time before it comes out. :(

Ooo a new thread.
Just realised I hadnt given my response on here to the latest poll yet.
q1 - every day. Not surprised that this is the top option. A few times a week is probably for people who can only play on certain days. Few times a month/year is far more common among "f2p" - probably meaning people that no longer play and thus are not members, yet who still are voting in the polls.
Interesting to note the difference between f2p and p2p - p2p has 68% every day 27% few times a week 5% other; f2p has only 41% every day but 42% few times a week (and 17% other). This reflects the extent to which people who get members are those that go on rs more often.
q2 - personally I explored most of the website within a few weeks of starting, so I voted for the almost as soon as I started playing option. Surprised at how few people say they haven't explored most of the website - this seems to contradict somewhat what I see in game.
However, this can probably be attributed to the fact that people who don't explore the website don't vote in polls - they often won't even know that the polls exist.
q3 - the use of the word "just" by the play now button is probably why it is so low, with people thinking to not select that if they do anything else, while others (myself included) selected it along with other things.
In order of the results:
Play now - I selected this. The low 69% figure can be explained as above.
Grand exchange - I selected this too. There may have been some who thought this referred to the ingame ge rather than the website one.
Hiscores - I selected this one as well. Interesting how 52% of members did yet only 40% of f2p did. Maybe it is because members are more competitive - or indeed more likely to be on the hiscores in the first place!
Forums - Selected this as well. Difference between f2p (32%) and p2p (50%) for obvious reasons
Adventurer's log - I hardly ever use this and was surprised so many do. Again difference between f2p/p2p for obvious reasons

Polls - obviously I voted yes to this. Surprised it was so low, particularly as the sample will be so biased in favour of this, and I wouldnt have thought this would be a poll done much by people who dont often do them.
Account management - surprised this is so high. I voted no. The only thing that seems to get used a lot is the name change feature. But that would suggest a major difference between f2p and p2p - which doesnt exist.
Manual - low and not surprised by this either. I use it though.
Gallery - interesting to note that p2p are about 50% more likely to use this than f2p. Maybe this suggests that a member is more involved in the community and stuff based on it than a free player.
Search - I would have thought that it would get a similar figure to the manual. I have made use of it many times.
Downloads - Surprised this is so high. It seems more like the sort of thing you would only visit once or twice and then never really go back unless there is a major addition (which is rare). I don't use it much.
Upgrade your account - interesting how 10% of f2p seem to say they use this a lot... I don't.
Postbag from the hedge - This is so low because there have been so few of them recently. I read every one that comes out and occasionally refer back to old ones.
Quest Help - the only website feature that I have never used. Not surprised that it is so low - most people use fansites or friends for help with quests. Personally I like to do them for myself. :) Lores - Good to reference, and I do use them more than most people. A lot of people aren't interested in this though, or even don't know about it (see next question)
Rules - the low figure is because most people know the rules so what is the point in regularly looking over them again.
God letters - I used to read them a lot when they were coming out. But there havent been any for years, so its surprising that so many people do use them. I suspect people selecting everything blindly :p

Submit a bug report - I voted yes to this. I frequently come across bugs in game and submit reports. I hope they're helpful :p . Most people can't be bothered though. The actual figure is probably far lower than the poll suggests.
Customer Support - a lot of this comes under other categories. Most of the sections will redirect you to the forums as well.
what is runescape - Probably every single person who voted this was lying - either voting for it as a joke or just voting for everything. Not in the least bit surprising that this is last.
q4 - interesting that this forced you to select something. I personally voted for questhelp - as I say, I've never used it so have no experience of it. God letters are unknown because most runescapers today weren't around when they were coming out. Lores are also unknown - as I said before, most don't bother with them. Postbag has a name that perhaps isnt the best descriptor of what it is, and also have been very rare recently.
Surprised so many said they didnt know about the poll as they were using it at the time!
Interesting how members, while using more website features, were also more likely to not know about many of them.
q5 - yes I have registered it. Not much more to say.
q6 - WOW at the difference between f2p and p2p! VERY surprised that the adventurer's log is what 32% of p2p respondents enjoyed using the most. Also surprised that I was in such a minority in voting for the postbag.
