Just a few comments on the poll.
The question about how long we have been playing runescape... I've only just noticed this time around that the options actually change. This poll the options were 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, or >6. Last time, or more accurately last year, the greatest option was >5. I only know this because I was personally right on the edge of being <5 last year, and this year I am therefore logically just <6. I am wondering partially what happened at this very specific time within a year before I started that makes Jagex decide that this is when the 'true veterans' started playing runescape (as having played for over 5 years now I would consider myself a veteran...).
I would also like to point out that I think this poll shows a lot about how your players feel about your game... the biggest reason that we return as of this point is because we feel we have invested so much time into our accounts already. I think this should mean 2 things to you:
Firstly, that updates which make accomplishing things significantly faster are a big problem. NO MORE DOUBLE XP WEEKENDS, etc... I mean honestly... if the biggest reason for us to return is because we feel we've spent sooooo much time on our avatar, don't you think that devaluing that time is one of the easiest ways to make these players finally decide to quit? It's perfectly fine to make things slightly easier, a game must evolve... but limit it.
Secondly, I think this result means that you need to do something to REWARD these players who have spent so much time on their accounts. I know many lower levels feel that there is so much high level content already, but tbh there is sooo much mid level content that low levels see as high level because they haven't reached it yet. There is almost no high level content at all in this game. Just throw in some end-game content... I would sooner see a year with 26 no update weeks, 20 weeks of low-mid level updates, and 6 weeks of elite updates than 40 weeks of mid level updates

Oh! You thought that you would try this again, did you! Okay, I'll post! ^_^
OK..er...suppose starting at #1 helps :P
Question 1 -
How do you feel about your in-game character?
They're quite like me. At least, it's how I'd like to be if I was in RuneScape for real.
~~I would like to see a bit more options regarding hair/beards (length and styles) but honestly what we have at the moment is great.

Question 2 -
How involved do you feel you are during your time in RuneScape?
I feel really focused on the game when I play, but I wouldn't say I get lost in the game.
~~This is especially true if you are following bushes/rocks/toadstools/etc around Gielinor for hours on end ;) Having said that i do enjoy the game alot.

Question 3 -
What do you think keeps you coming back to RuneScape (Select all that apply)
I'm dedicated to my clan/organisation/group
~~Main reason I play, along with Quest's. The clan I am with has given me a sense of place in Runescape and has stopped me from becoming bored bored bored :)
I'm a fan of the lore, storylines and quests
~~Love story lines, especially The Myreque Quest Series, Please take your time with the next one - if you do it will be fab :D
I enjoy playing the Activities/Minigames
~~Penguin Hide n Seek, Soul Wars, Castle Wars, Tears of Guthix. Great additions to the game.

I enjoy the fact that RuneScape is kept fresh by regular updates
~~New content and story lines are always winners with me.

Question 4 -
Roughly how long have you been playing RuneScape?
3 - 4 Years
~~Played before Christmas 2005 - never realised what was going on so missed the items that year :(
Question 5 -
We'd love to hear more from you regarding your answers. Would you be so kind as to pay us a visit on our official thread at QFC: 103-104-0-60836872?
Self Evident ;)
Dr Nick :D

What keeps me coming back to Gielinor is actually just the feeling of another world without stupid people ( well, not DUMB stupid people, there are tons of funny smart stupid NPCs in RuneScape haha), without buildings everywhere and heavyh pollution and all kinds of annoying political conflicts and newsflashes on tv. I like it that you're just in a medieval world, minding your own business and sometiems save a village from extinction by killing the occasional dragon/vampire/bird/whatever.
Also I've been playing a month before the Hallowe'en event came where you got Ed Cranius but by some kind of bug I don't have him anymore :( (((

Good poll, I found it interesting.
IDK what order these are in, but I said:

They're quite like me, as I'd like them in Runescape.
I feel really focused in game, but not lost.
I'm dedicated to friends/clan, achievement, invested a lot of time, entertaining.
5-6 years
Since you asked so nicely.. sure! ^_^
Love the weekly polls, good job. Gonna have to recommend one soon.

umm only part of the poll i wasnt to sure about was the how long you have been playing part. im not really sure when i started to play, all i know is that it was right after the yoyo(whenever that was). wish i had a born on date!!!so for that question i guessed. only reason i started playing was to check out what my children were talking about so many years ago(yes i check up on them on what they are doing, had to make sure it was safe), then fell in love with the game myself.
