I have an idea that would allow potential players to vote.
For a start, I for one have had my account hacked on the previous RS servers. I think, since the 2007 servers will be a "fresh start," that there should really be no created accounts on the server when it starts. EXCEPT! (Now here's where the potential voting comes in)
Have a PREPAY fee saying that YES, I AM GOING TO PLAY THIS WHEN IT IS PASSED! for maybe a dollar or so.
With this option, the players that are not members at the time, including myself that LOVE the old RuneScape and don't care too much for the current RuneScape will have a chance to say they actually want you to put these servers up.
Also, besides the vote, players that have "Prepayed" will also get to create their character, and potentially choose a unique username. I know you tried to free up some of the names in the past, but they were mostly all taken by spammers who didn't play once again.
With this prepay option you not only give us, we the non-members at the moment but have been members on RuneScape for yeaaars, the ability to say we are interested in playing again, you give us the ability to choose an account name before the mad rush of name hoarders come into play, you gived hacked members a chance of freedom, and you give us a better grip of hope for that 500k+ mark!
As I said before, this idea is monetary advised and it WILL cost an additional fee to submit your vote. This will help your cause with a fair and unrigged pole, heck you can even make the prepay $5 USD and I'll still sign up and cast my vote!
I really support you in this decision though JaGex, I've been a RuneScaper for just over 9 years before I quit last year and I would really like to give my support to MY RuneScape!
I hope you see my idea clearly, if you have any questions I will check regualry.
Also, if anyone else has opinions on this idea, I would love to see what you come up with.
Thanks,
A Veteran
