Ohey, this might be worth throwing 7 dollars away on.

I'll see how the first day of voting goes, first. I could buy chinese food for 7 dollars.****. Chinese food..

Anyhow, I don't care if I have to start from all level 1's with no gp.

Maybe crap will actually have value for a while since the only ways of obtaining gold are the *hop keepers, alching and other minorities.

Lastly, I want to add members that do indeed vote for the reinstatement of the service will all get their first month of 'Old School' RuneScape for free regardless of the eventual level achieved therefore those signing up just to vote you will not need to pay twice'

READ THIRD POST of official thread first month of membership in 07 servers is FREE if you vote!!! So it's not pay to vote!

@Garaget.

While I understand you on some level, I just don't see how it could happen, or how it would be any fair.

I'm pretty maxed myself with loads of cash yet I among other's will give it all up just to be able to start fresh.

It also would feel weird to start out with such high level, wouldn't know were to begin.

However I'm not playing this to just pk, I play this for the enjoyment of quest's and leveling up, there's no need to rush through the game.

This will be a "blast to the past" so to speak, starting as lv3, on tutorial island.

I just went through hiscores and I noticed that constitution had largest amount of players which was around ~615k. They are all members accounts and maybe add another 35-40k skiller accounts who aren't on hiscores with constitution + acknowledge the fact that ~30-100k accounts are BOTS who will most likely not vote on the poll.

How is 750k realistically achievable if active member accounts are below that number?

During wildy vote you could vote multiple times on same computer with different accounts, F2P and P2P, freshly made accounts and old veteran accounts who hadn't been logged in for years.

These caps set for the goals seems way too unrealistic except the 50k and maybe 150k one which in conclusion gives only a feeling that jagex is only willing to let out older version of RS when there's lots of money involved.

Profile Highlight I've been sitting here at my computer thinking about everything and anything about the old runescape and what it would be like. I have come to realise a lot of things I think a lot of people are overlooking or just haven't thought about.

...

This is *EXACTLY* the thing I am really intrigued about. A completely new start.

I personally think that non members should be able to vote too. We non members also miss the old runescape and yet we don't get a chance to fight for what we want to achieve and let members vote only. We should also be able to play on the old runescape too as a lot of us are not suited with the eoc like myself eventhough i feel that the eoc is not that bad of an update. It should not only be members who get these kind of things. Non members should also get the oppurtunity to fight for what they want and make a stand for themselves. I want jagex to think about this and how it will affect the non members trust and attitude towards them...

You guys are so selfish, why are you ruining other people's plans to play this game? At least vote yes for the people who actually want to play something. The community has officially rotten. Disgusting people, it doesn't even affect you at all, SEPERATE SERVERS. So please, vote yes for the people who actually want to reach 750k people*

**-POST FOR MORE PEOPLE SEEING THIS!!

Let's pick apart what MMG put in his updated post:

"To clear up any confusion on this matter I want to confirm that our Unique Active Player stats for the proceeding 14 Days from Monday the 11th Feb was actually 8,229,459!"

This statement may be entirely accurate, but for the purposes of this poll it's totally meaningless. For starters he doesn't define what 'Unique Active Player' encompasses. Is that -just- for Runescape, or all games? How about my website only logins in order to post here?

And the biggest...did he subtract the bot accounts that were created, detected, and removed?

The bottom line is they require membership in order to vote. Hiscores only shows those that have membership. You are not immediately removed from it when your membership is dropped, and a very large chunk is the free two week trail.

Others have done the analysis (thanks!). There are not but roughly 750-800k worth of actual members, tops. His entire statement is designed to justify the ridiculous number of votes.

And as far as I'm concerned, it's pretty damn sleezy.

I really really really want the Grand Exchange. Life was so stupidly hard trying to buy items for quests and etc back in the day. World 2 Falador sucked because it loaded so slow and the amount of scammers was ridiculous. Trust me most of the people who vote for this system don't know anything outside of using the GE and they are going to hate it.

Sure when the G.E was first introduced we hated it, but put it back in the game, with the resetting limits like we got it to and let it do its thing. And curses too, they were great. And the overload updates.

There was some really good content released throughout the years, I hope Jagex will respond when people realise how much they liked certain updates.
