Jagex are doing a good thing by providing an additional server for the many who have requested it. I've seen in this thread endless moaning about RuneScape evolving (as everything has to in order to survive against forever-developing competition ie EoC). To all free-players and members who are whining about the recent game updates; if you dislike the game so much, why on earth are you continuing to play it, and most of you even pay for it? It's a great game and that's why we are all playing. We have all been party to the numerous complainants, surely $15 a month is a small price to pay (if it even comes to that) if it is that important to you.

I suspect many players will register to the '07 server and then realise what a mistake it is, and return to the evolved 2013 game once they have satisfied their displaced nostalgic yearning.

The voting has been open for a day or so and players are already claiming the goals are unreachable, when you already have over 100,000 votes.

EVERYONE MUST VOTE!

Even if you don’t want this update you have, we need 750,000 votes and here’s why!

There’s a large non member player base that want this update. Since non members can’t vote we need the help of all the members to participate in this poll.

There’s 3 key points mentioned in the main post that need 750,000 votes in order to be made possible in their fullest.

1. The ability for FREE members to play without any membership requirements. This means just like how FREE world is now, this will be made available. Imagine the 100,000’s of people that’ll over time be able to play this because YOU participated in this poll.

2. Dedicated development team, without this the game won’t receive the required maintenance to keep going. With the proper development team we can receive adequate updates. The game had just enough needed in its current state, then they went and add way to much content. We aren’t looking to revamp the entire game, it was perfectly fine. Any updates we’d like would only need to involve using the currently available resources and making either new mini-games or extending current quests.

3. Playable Servers. Without enough demand in the beginning not enough servers will be supplied right away, let alone any desire to increase them. We need to start strong if we are to ever continue strong.


Please just VOTE you’ll be helping a large player base that simple can’t vote on your own. Think of it like this, this game will have so many ways to make insane amounts of money, you might think of it like wasting your time, but it’s not you’re are getting a second chance to build your account effectively. If you played during this time period then think about all the memories and how those who really want this update must be feeling. The votes are lowering fast and we aren't receiving enough to reach this 750K mark anymore. So please vote it’ll be very much appreciated!

I played from 2005 until 2010 (as a paying member), I am the *exact* demographic that this should be appealing to and yet I am not allowed to vote. The argument of being a paying member makes no sense given I was for a long time and I would very much like to become one again given the opportunity to play on 2007 servers.

It's this kind of dolt headed approach that pushed me away from RuneScape and more widely Jagex back in 2010. The poll should be open to all members, past and present because it impacts them. Should F2P players be allowed to vote? Arguably not but once again, if 750k votes were reached it would impact them also.

Then this whole fiasco comes across as Jagex trying to force me into paying for a membership to vote which I can assure you I will not - that's just blackmail!

I hope that without the past member vote this will still go through because I am hugely interested and Jagex are too daft to realise this service is more significant to players from the exact period that I played than the people that enjoy the current game. Insanity.

vote goals aren't just there for show. lowering them would make faking votes more achievable and cause severe repercussions to the company.

the interest of the community should reflect the revenue they stand to gain, which then must be compared to the cost of running each tier of service. If you lower a threshold, with "fake" multiple votes, there could potentially be significant losses to the company.
