Disregarding any personal opinions about whether or not you want the wild and free trade back, isn't anyone concerned about how this vote is being run? I mean you don't have to log in to confirm who you are so you can just enter anyone's name in it and people would be registered as voting yes if they didn't want to vote at all. I've also heard some rumours concerning a world record and all kinds of other crazy stuff so I'm not sure what to think. No offence to anyone but this idea doesn't seem too well thought out. Anyways I guess all we can do is wait for January 14th when the results are supposed to come in and maybe we'll have some answers then. I'm more concerned about how the voting's being run and the reasons behind it than what we're actually voting for. -Jon

Support. Yes! Finally! Even though it's a couple years late, it's finally happening! :P
Can you do some kind of Q&A, and have it easy to find please? There are so many questions people are asking, and I can't find any information.

Hi all, this was taken word for word from Mod Mark's Clan Chat, spoken by Mod Mark himself.
Credit goes to Moe_Is_4210 for archiving this information, see under quote for key features of the script.
Transcript as follows;

Quote
"Ok so firstly, this isn't something we've done before
A vote on this kind of scale, I mean
so there are always teething problems
but obviously there is a lot of interest in the subject
so thanks to those who have voted already
to those worried about others using your names - don't worry
we aren't looking at names
Jagex is very confident we can deal with goldfarmers and rwt
and botting etc
we have several new iniatives to deal with those issues
and believe we can control it
We have not given up the fight - far from it
You have to trust us on that
Literally some anti bot tech just came through like within the last month
Which means as soon as we realised we could bring it back
we ran the voting thing
So basically it's happening now because we think we can do it safely
There are of course checks on the poll, dont worry about fake
We will try to keep it as close to 2006 wildy as possible
I cant go into detail on every single wildy change
But basically things like quests and minigames will be relocated
to elsewhere in the game
there will be no wildy free worlds
but things like clue scrolls or abyss, etc may be altered
to accommodate for the greater risk - honestly not sure yet
corrupt* items will be deleted or made more rare
They will be made available through other means
Revs were designed as a replacement for the threat of the pker
if the pkers are back the revs are gone
but they will likely feature elsewhere"

"Staking I am very excited about
As that would return with no restrictions
So if you wanted to stake a phat you could
against a candle or whatever
BH and pvp worlds will go for now
sorry****
Argh!!
Bounty hunter and pvp worlds will go for now
Poll and vote are not fake
..no charecters remain..

I'm sick of you little RS forum mods coming to this and saying blah blah there should of been a N0 button. Read before you take action stop complaining. Half the people that don't want the wildy and free trade to come back was because they were idiots and got scammed, or they couldn't pk worth a crap.

Yes JAGEX! I hope you follow through in restoring the old wilderness and free TRADE!! YESSSSSS IM SO HAPPY!!!

To those opposing of this:
Your arguments are weak in the sense that "I can't RC, I can't corp, I can't do clue scrolls. Well a JMOD confirmed that they will make sure these bosses and clue scrolls adapt to these new changes. Therefore your argument is invalid.
Those concerned with RWT/cheating
Jagex CONFIRMED they have and will take responsibility in eliminating cheaters in alternatives that DO NOT hurt us. When I say hurt I mean as in taking away free trade and wilderness.
So please guys that disagree with having the return of wilderness and free trade back, give Jagex a chance. After all the game has been running for 7 years with free trade and oldstyle pking.
Honestly what game doesn't have free trade?
My opinion on this :
Free trades coming back for sure, and Jagex just wanted to cause hype about it!!!

EVERYONE VOTE FOR FREE TRADE AND WILDY BACK!!!

I love this! I have never seen so many people actively talk about a rs vote in game before. Almost everywhere I go someone is talking about this! such an amazing thing for Jagex to give back what was taken away. I know this new update will be passed, 9 our of 10 of my friends voted yes and when I walk up to almost anyone in the game and as them "hey did u vote yes to bring back old wild?" they always like "yeaa!"
It's only day two and at this very moment I can see the counter hitting 1.3 mil votes on Yes. 23 more days of voting left and every day players across the world are being notified by friends on facebook and myspace. Somebody needs to make youtube videos!
Goodluck friends. Looking forward to seeing you all in the duel arena! hehehe time to make some moneey (=
