No offence to all the people who say they won't vote, but honestly why are you being difficult not voting? This poll has already got 50k+ yes so regardless the servers are coming back right now. Your just hurting the other players who actually want this and like this update by making us pay more, and then if you do decide to try it out (which lets be honest most will) you're just making yourself pay an extra montly fee by not voting and getting that 1st month free to try it out and see if you like it. Honestly, I don't believe there's a chance of 750k+ or even 500k+ but 250k isn't far out of sight and that's only $5 extra which isn't too bad but still not good for some people who won't buy members now alone for the costs.

To the J-Mods: Sincerly, once this update does legit happen since its already been approved by the # of votes right now, if people don't get this extra server at no additional cost it's going to just kill the server. Not many people are willing to pay $20+ or $15+ membership. Maybe make a more reasonable # vote not basically all active members vote or we have to pay extra. Hopefully you look into this since these servers will be coming and i'm sure you would want them to last long, not a temp fix to make people happy with you all again and then doom the 07 server update by making us pay so much extra for it.

Hopefully some people against the update take this into consideration and vote regardless of their feeling as it helps people like myself and others who like this idea since it's 100% happening now :)

I'm just saying this, though no-one shall take notice of it:
Runescape has been screwed WAY too much before Jagex(and it's fail supporting companies) tried to do anything about it. Now, the vet's probably are playing WOW/LOL(wow...a skill bar!), and CBA to come back to such a horrendous game(even the 2007 version)
New people'll do the same, or play AWQ...
It's horrible to see such a game to fall SO far downhill, and only NOW are they implementing a "solution" to this. And what's this solution? ANOTHER MONEY-GRABBING ONE. Why not "everyone who was previously a member"? that makes perfect sense seeing that most vets don't want to pay just to start all over again. And the 500/750k goal. That...What is THAT? That's not possible, and a stretch goal? You call that a impossibility(providing you use statistics). But alas, what's been done has been done.
GG Jagex, you better not repeat the same mistakes again, because its hurt everyone, especially the vets which you're desperately trying to claw back with your greedy fingers.
Peace out

I am worried about even reaching 250k.

Take the rate of votes yesterday and the ****tant decline of votes until the rate of vote now.

If this rate of decline continues, tomorrow there will be one or two votes every minute or so.

And it gets worse from there.

Mod MMG said on page 1 of this thread:

"There seems to be a lot of conjecture around the actual size of the playing community with a lot of people incorrectly assuming that the ‘concurrent player count’ on the RuneScape website represents the total number of active players.
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!"

How does that explain the constant decline in votes?
