Already starting to plateau at the 120K mark. 250K, possibly. 500k, impossible. 750k, impossible. To begin with the majority of members are bots and let's not forget half the people who wanted it back are unsubscribed as members because they do not support Jagex's recent decisions. I'm sorry but I'm not going to pay $15 to play 2007. It should be free and the tiers are simply too high.

I'm so happy about this, but I do agree with the majority of the posts here. The tiers are just too high, there is no way that we can get 500k votes with members only because most of the players who support this have quit RS altogether. Regardless, if we reach 250k votes ill still play. :)

"I'm afraid it's not going to happen at all, we wont even reach the 250k goal."

I think it will hit 250k in two weeks time. But 500k? I really doubt it. 750k? Darn near impossible. Which, of course, they know.

I didn't get ur point so well, but anyways. My faith in 250k is slowly disappearing, which I think is so sad, I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna play that game again. This, what we have now, aint even rs. Its League Of FreeWorldScape.

I'm 90% sure to sub before the voting end, not because I believe in 250k votes, because I can play 1 month for "free"

If it does reach 250k, I will be super happy and start to play frequently :)

Jagex, everyone likes the Runescape 2007 Idea ofcourse, but please read this:

-Why only Members? In my eyes it just looks like a money grabbing action, many non-members are having more trust and knowledge in/of Runescape than some members.

-Seriously? $15 extra for Runescape 2007? That's like $20 a month.

-As already stated, Jagex probably won't even spend all the money they get of members in the Runescape 2007 game.

-With those 3 statements, I want to say: You've made a big mistake by leaving the oldschool F2P Runescapers out of the vote, you made this whole community look like a Democration. Only Members can vote, and non-members have to pay to even have a little fun of it. Just looks like the ancient Greeks, women have nothing to say, men have to decide everything... You know how that ended? In a war, you guys of Jagex want to end Runescape in a game that has not even 5,000 players a day? Bye bye, title of biggest MMORPG :)

I personally do not consider the price as an issue. Anyways, the 2007 year version of the game NEEDS f2p server. Please make it happen, no matter what.

Thank you JaGeX anyway making this happen at all. :P

I have to say i totally agree with what everyone is saying about $15 being too much, and i really hope we reach the 250k mark, and i still believe it is possible.

But what if it hits say... 200k? or even 230k, but not quite the 250k?

In this instance i urge jagex to make the right decision, not just for the community but for the business.

The very fact that this vote was put up, and the possibility of 07 servers was introduced, shows jagex is taking an interest in the community and trying to make decisions to help their business prosper.

So what i have to say is, if it does fall just short of 250k is do not have a $15 membership fee because believe me you will be instantly losing a lot of players' money. Instead, make the fee something like... $6 or *7 to account for the missing numbers.

I sincerely believe that everyone who would be prepared to pay $5 would have no second thoughts about paying an extra $2, and that way you keep all the players paying the extra membership, you do not lose out on any money (if calculted right it should work out to earning the same amount of money as 250,000 players at $5) and it keeps the community happen.

So just remember, it does not have to be $5 or $15, one or the other, you can find a middle ground that makes complete sense and is the best for the game and for your business.

Cheers,
~Psy
