Mod Lods, please speak with other Jagex mods and have the runescape 2007 server free of charge, or at least lower the tiers. Please listen to the community and what others are saying in these comments; we cannot afford this

All we need is $6 a person to reach 750k votes.

You can either pay $6 now or $15 a month later for 2007 server.

How this works is.

1. Create 3 accounts and refer 3 accounts.

2. Wait 24 hours.

3. Signup for membership on the 3 referral accounts and only pay $2 each.

4. You will then have 6 accounts for $1 each.

5. 6 accounts each x 106k votes = 636k more votes or 736k total + others who have yet to vote.

So buy 6 members accounts right *ow for $6 or end up paying $15 a month later.

"2007 servers sounds good
however if there is a cost i am gonna stick with the current rs

you get enough money out of us already"
------------------------------------------
"I would love to play runescape 2007 at a premium BUT I will NOT play if i have to pay for membership on EoC Im not going to pay for a game that i dont play just to play a game I want to play and pay extra for. NO THANKS "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mainit - "Jagex lower the vote goal, your current goals are too high...and it won't happen.

You really think people will keep paying 20$+ dollars each month to play? Even if we reach 250k, we'll need to pay like 12$ each month. People will keep paying for the first couple of months but it won't continue.

These numbers are more reasonable

50,000
150,000
300,000
500,000"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jagex set the goal too high...

*Not all Members will vote.
*Non-Members can't vote.

If we don't AT LEAST reach 500k, I, with many other players will not even bother playing it."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Embrio2 - "Jagex new it wouldn't get past 250k win win situation for them ill pay $10 no way I'm paying $20 to play 2007scape"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's really good that you're bringing in 2007 servers but come on the number of votes for certain levels are unrealistic... It should be something like;

Level 1- 50k

Level 2- 125k

Level 3- 250k

Level 4- 500k"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This was set up to fail. Introduce the 2007 servers and charge $5-10 per month to access them.
These goals are unrealistic for a members only poll. Jagex doesn't even have 750k members. There aren't even 100k people online at a time"

"I like how it's members-only, none of us long-since-gone veterans can vote. Are there even 750k members? Whilst I'd love to re-live the golden days, I do not want to pay for membership for the modern version of the game - it's an insult to what it once was. An additional charge is a definite no-no. I'd happily play it were it free/cheaper than the main game."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You would think Jagex would learn their lesson by now. Wouldn't they make more money and have a better customer service relationship, by making the whole retro-server thing be open to all members at no extra cost?

They would be able to keep their current player base, and bring back all the players that previously quit. They could have the best of both worlds. But instead, they're putting limitations on the accessibility based on voter turnout.

There's no way they're going to hit the 500K mark. If they do, FANTASTIC! But if they don't, then the retro-server will be dead in a few months."

If they are going to charge us for the 2007 servers they better make an option so we can pay for the 2007 servers and NOT EOCSCAPE. I'm not wasting $6 a month of EoCScape when I wont be playing it. I'll only pay to play 07

I actually cancelled my membership at the end of 2012 because of EOC. I actually did, and I hated that I had to do that but I also hated playing Runescape. A bit peeved that I can't vote because of my cancelled membership, but I'm so behind this. I know a lot of other people that would get on there and play like we used to just for PKing and old armour etc. I'd play because I like it without all of the bells and whistles, it's just nicer and more fun.

Also, God damn, have voting available for accounts that were active during 07 instead of this committed player boohai.

EDIT: I agree with Sa above. I think it would be good if you could choose to pay for either server depending on which you preferred to play on, and maybe have a discount deal to pay for both. Have 2007 cheaper because of less content compared to 2013. Makes sense, no? You're still getting players for your game and money from each era either way.
