IVP will gladly take your years' worth of money ahead of time, as they make plans to finish the game off.
Too bad the rate and quality of content development come nowhere close to matching the rate at which they spew out garbage for us to buy in Solomon's, or for those that buy spins on the Squeal of Torture.
As we suffer through a prematurely-released, and currently broken, combat system. A system that has also killed skilling, more than it has helped it. Skillers can't make money off anything due to low demand, and bots driving prices into the ground.
As we suffer through ongoing waves of bots which they are still trying to deal with nearly 3 years after an ill-thought-out wildy/free-trade reintroduction.
As the population dwindles further and further, because we knew WHY Runescape was a popular game. We've tried to tell you, Jagex ....
The only behaviour you've been absolutely consistent in? Not listening to your players.
Good luck in 2013. You're certainly not going to be getting members money ahead of time from me. Nor do I have any desire to participate in any more closed "betas" if they're to be run like EoC's beta was.
