=====AN APPEAL TO THOSE WHO WOULD ABSTAIN TO VOTE=====
First off, on behalf of all the retired vets, all the voters, and everyone who wants the days of Tutorial Island back, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the people have
flamed, complained, and attacked you for your enjoyment of the current game. I can say I have never once flamed someone for their viewpoint on the progression of this game, but I feel the need to apologize for those that do, because they
represent the minority and should not influence your decision on whether or not you vote. Now, to business.

You know that voting doesn't affect the main game in any way, you know that Jagex will only receive more revenue for future updates to the main game if 2007 RuneScape is a success, so if you abstain from voting, PLEASE READ.

Some people say that the 2007 RuneScapers have been constantly flaming, and that this is reason enough to not give them what they want. Let me boil this down into two possiblities:
1: It's the vocal minority that does this, and you're punishing the silent majority (retired/no-memb/can't post in 2007 forums) for the actions of the loudmouthing few.
2: Affordable 2007 servers would get trolls off of the 2013 servers, would help increase Jagex's revenue, and help out some retired veterans by allowing them some nostalgia without breaking their checking accounts. It's win-win!

-VOTING HAS ADVANTAGES FOR 2013 SERVERS!-
1: If the 2007 RuneScape servers are a success, Jagex's revenue will increase, and the excess that isn't put towards sustaining the 2007 servers (which won't cost much) will be put towards updates for the main game.
2: While old players try out the old game, they might want to try out the main game as well. This could attract more customers and players for the main game of RuneScape.

We could use all the support we could get, so if you haven't voted already, at least consider it, or consider why you aren't voting. If you're happy with your reason, that is enough. Thank you. :)

I quit during the EoC beta because I didn't really like it and didn't feel like relearning combat. Pretty sure ill be back for a 2007 version.

P.S. Nice to see a game that actually cares about what the players want and actively bring out polls and new content. Keep it up.

So i'm considering to get members to vote, and I know that you use the same account name and pass word but just need to clarify something.

Do we get to choose new screen names on the 2007 server?

I made this account when I was 12 and I'm not exactly proud of it's name!

I think the 500K votes tier can be achieved. Its still early days and we have around 2 weeks untill vote closes. Obviously the rate of the votes has slowed down but you can't really determine the tier that we'll reach this early. There is still alot of old players probably unaware of the poll and hopefully from 'word of mouth' they'll consider getting members and vote. I agree with the anger around the extra cost but being negative surely doesn't help.

Also to anyone who is calculating the rate of votes and how many we should get in 2 weeks, please stop. There is still quite a few variables to weigh in before estimating the likely tier we'll achieve. I have friends that are still to vote as they haven't got members yet as its only the second day. This is probably the case everywhere and there is again going to be many factors that will cause the vote to spike.

So really all im saying is that if your for the 2007 severs, make sure you've voted and be positive. In the end we have the servers so be grateful for the fact that this is actually happening.

Well, I voted in favor of it ... excuse me, in favour of it**** is a British game, after all. :)

Anyway, I think I'd alternate back and forth between modern RS and old school RS.

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing some old places again.
