"As a hypothetical scenario, say that when the poll ends there is an official count of 300k votes yes and 250k votes no. I'm sure any company would need to take that into serious consideration"

why?

if there are 250k no votes it will have no affect on their decision. all it means is they will get 300k NEW subscribers. It is THESE subscibers that will pay for the new servers and the NEW staff and such.

a successful vote, no matter what teir will mean jagex will not do anything to the teams, server and anything else involved with your game, but will get new staff, servers and anything else they need for the new game.

Ramous, it doesn't matter if a specific amount of people vote no. If they have let's say 250k vote yes. That's 250k people who are willing to pay for membership for RS07. It doesn't matter how many people would say no. Would you deny that many people who are willing to pay? This also doesn't affect the normal game at all. There will be a separate staff as well as a completely different game. The only thing that may be linked will be friends list for communication IIRC.

There is absolutely no reason to vote "No" and the only thing that matters is reaching a specific amount of "Yes" votes.

@Zeldakitten

You can't say that seeing as a lot of the "yes-sayers" are not completely aware for what they're voting for. You can hardly go a page on this thread without someone asking about being rolled back, importing files, etc.

Lets use your hypothetical scenario and go a step further..

Using YOUR numbers..

We're looking at 250K that wouldn't be willing to pay for it... and...

300K standing at the door and waving money in jagex's face saying.. it's all yours if you provide a service we want.

How stupid would they need to be to tell 300K people with money in hand to "kiss off"? (cleaned it up so that the filter wouldn't block it).

_________

Because even though there is 300k satisfied players there is also 250k unsatisfied players. The games are separate but they will impact the other servers player population. Imagine cutting the current sever numbers of legit players in half. The EoC version will be virtually empty and difficult to play.

"The 2007 sever will impact the EoC server. Indeed they are two separate games but one will negatively impact the others severs player population."

why? the players that dont want to lose their stats will stay in this version. the ones that like the eoc will stay in this version.

everyone else has already quit.

its the ones that quit that will be populating the new servers.

Please everyone vote, this will not effect you even if you don't play it. However we need 750,000 votes. Without it there won't be the sufficient needs to make it work.

At 750,000 we get the following;

-Free Players can play without any membership just like they do now.
-Members + Free players won't need to pay any additional costs on top of the membership fees.
-There will be a seperate dedicated team to help with technical updates.
-There will be a decent amount of servers based on the total votes. Along with increase amounts as the population rises.

None of the above will happen if it doesn't reach 750,000 votes.

None of the other tiers will allow any of the above at least not in as significance. Only the 500,000 allows for no fee's on members, but there won't be FREE world support. The dedicated team won't be good enough if it's not 750,000 votes and we can be assured without the 750,000+ votes they won't have any desire to add additional worlds.

So please don't NOT vote just because you don't want to play it. It's going to be a seperate game anyways. The community will build off the FREE players. This is bringing back the version's before the Graphical Updates, RWT Updates, and Client/Bot Modifications. There is many non members who would love to play this, but aren't willing to become a member just to place a vote. I'll only become a member if it reaches 750,000 or is very close to this number.

This was when the Game had 50FPS at all times. You could be running on a toaster and still have 50FPS. This game was about crisp game play and how anyone could play it. There wasn't any requirements other than maybe 64MB of memory as the minimum. Now you need 2GB of memory or more probably. I even had 4-7 fps when I Installed 1GB of ram on my computer, however I'm down to 256MB again and My Computer FREEZES if I tried logging into current RuneScape.


So please show your appreciation and just VOTE!

Color me stupid, but if the 250K are ALREADY paying membership... why would they NOT accept the money from ANOTHER 300K?

Are you suggesting that if jagex offers more than one game.. those 250K will "quit"? If so.. boy oh boy are you in for a shocker when Transformers is released.
