Sup Jagex moderators and other players.
By excluding the f2p community in the 2007 project, you've made a massive mistake.
The F2P community is a vast deal of the old RuneScape.
I honestly think you should reconsider adding f2p servers anyway regardless of the 750k votes being called.
If you think about it, where would all resources come from?
From F2P Worlds! The only members 2007 servers wouldn't hold itself without it.
So if you guys could reconsider this that'd be great!

Hello

Im loving the idea of this but why raise the membership price its $5 dollars at the
moment but it will become $20 dollars apparently and it sounds like you are trying to make more money and i dont really care what happens but i have voted anyway because i miss the old community but everytime theres something new ill test it out if i could and i enjoy the years and time before the eoc and now that i have adapted to it i am having great fun because i am a low level corping and going to god wars and enjoying the updates you have been giving us and in 2007 there wont be some of the great updates that have been coming at the moment im also against this idea because you have spent a lot of time and money trying to make this game better but people enjoyed before some of those updates and i kow for a fact hundreds of people have quit and some famous youtubers it will be great and i think 750k votes is a bit much by the way i dont think there as many as 250k active members its mostly the bots.

I don't know about any of the other vets, but I'm in my 20's now. I certainly have the money to re-subscribe and play casually (as I was doing before the EoC), but I do not have the time to re-train my character.
Nor do I find the prospect of training my character again appealing at all, especially when I have a maxed pure going to waste on the EoC servers.

Unfortunately, Jagex overlooked the fact that their intended audience with these old school servers is indeed... older. We do not have the enthusiasm or time to re-train our accounts from scratch, especially when we had good accounts in the year of 2007 itself.

So, sorry but I don't see myself paying to vote or re-subscribing just yet. I wish Jagex luck but this isn't the solution to entice vets who would gladly pay the full subscription but would like to play as -casual gamers- with their -already made accounts- that they have had since -2007 or before-.

I'm for old runescape but I'm not paying $20.00 a month I can tell you that right now. I voted yes to old runescape, I haven't played since last October - if old runescape comes back at the same price I have always paid I would return.

Well I think it's a bit dishonest of Runescape to make people pay to vote, well I could see maybe paying 1 dollar at the most. But alot of people had canceled their membership, I did - just I pay for 6 months in advance so my membership hasn't run out yet. If they would allow everyone to vote, I am guessing they would have reached 750k by now or very close to it.

However the good news is, obviously enough people canceled their membership and quit playing to make Jagex realize how many actually enjoyed the old Runescape. I don't mind adding events or minigames even - but I prefer the platform as it was years ago.

There are times I miss playing< i put so much time into my character, the community and fellow players. I have only ever had this one account, I did create an account for my son but he won't play either as it is now - oh and my son is 10 years old by the way.

@jagex

Since it is already known the servers will come, are you already working on it?
I'm sure that everyone is super exited and can't wait till the end of the vote...
it would suck if you guys only started to work on it after the vote ends...
i read somewhere where a mod stated that the servers could be up within 1-2 months, is that true.
