It's all about money. Why would they let people who are not paying for membership to vote? They're looking to get money off of the voting process as well as when the servers go live.

They believe that if people want the serves back so much, they're going to be willing to pay membership in order to vote for them back. You say the poll isn't an accurate representation? of course it isn't. All it does is show the people who currently pay and are interested in the servers.

There is no second option for people who would rather have them not implemented. This is why I have chosen not to vote.

In short, Jagex doesn't care about "the actual players who would be playing in the 2007 servers." Which is why the poll is not for f2p accounts.

No, it's a way to scheme money as a last resort. The decision is already pre-determined. Don't you think a big company (and smart one), like Jagex, has a plan of action. They know more than what they tell their customers. Whatever they're doing is pretty much set in stone. The pull to get people to vote is to add immediate revenue.

The votes may or may not be rigged and the votes may or may not make a difference.

In my humble opinion....we were set up for a fall. The bar was set too high and Jagex knew this.
We will get 07 back but at a cost, this was planned. They knew ..
a) The number of TRUE players is far below that of the number of memberships.
b) Many of those that left for whatever reason would probably not pay to vote.
c) The free to play do not contribute to the running costs of the game and would be very unlikely to pay to vote either, as they do not wish to pay to play the full game anyway.

I do agree that the vote should be for members only. I dont agree with the amount of votes needed.

I played in 07 on another account (which due to my stupidity,was hacked) This account has been my baby..i got my 99 fishing for a second time, along with many more. I would give this up today to play the game i knew and loved.
Too many updates that i didnt agree with, the eoc was a killer. Tried it, dont get on with it.

Too easy to level now with all the free xp. The challenge has gone.

My membership is renewed monthly..I will let it run another month and see how things pan out. I honestly dont think there will be enough votes to get to 500k which is ,for me, the best option. With money so tight for many people ,paying out more per month isnt an option.

Given a choice, i would rather pay to go on a 07 server only, than stay on this one.

Jagex, a lot of players agree with you here. But the truth is, many players would like to see The Grand Exchange, the current clan system and clan citadels (In my opinion, your most amazing update ever <3) and some of the graphics updates. If the game is exactly how it is in 2007, then that will mean no godswords, no dungeoneering, no incredible graphics, and so much more. Please, make something like a 2011 server. I have nothing against 2007, but some of the really good updates happened after that. Also, I believe that in the combat beta, we were allowed to import our current accounts into the game. Why can't we do that for these servers?
