There aren't 750,000 active members!

I've been polling/requesting data from various locations, forums, and other areas.

They told us that 8,229,459 people were active in a two week span before this poll began. They forgot to inform you that these are only accounts who have logged in within this time period. I'd like to go over a list of people who will affect this total value.

RWT – Each person creates 5 through 50 accounts and bots various skills to obtain resources resulting in millions-billions of GP per day. Overtime they increase their available accounts.

THROW AWAYS – Each person generating 1000's of accounts to perform various objectives such as Squeal of Fortune spins and then transferring the prizes over to a main profile. We can see in the leaderboards there are over 1,000,000 profiles without a single experience gained. The minimum is a player named "rgdfh5ydfhcv" who has 1155 experience.

BANNED/LOCKED/DELETED - They never mentioned anything relating to these accounts, but the leaderboards never lie. The leaderboards show roughly about 1.8 Million players and it’s actually gone down 20,000 about since yesterday now at currently 1,809,058 Players.

FREE MEMBERS - They come in a large mass and I've been recording data for awhile now to get results at 20% - 30% of the players are FREE based. It usually hovered near 23%-25%.

They don't have nearly enough member profiles to vote for this, I'm not currently a member, but I also will not pay for the current RuneScape. I want this old RuneScape and would rather the whole thing be a separate payment system.

They went about this all wrong, provided inadequate information, misinformed the community, rushed the polling, and provided a voting system to undermine the actual results and attempt to prove that no one really wanted this update when that's in fact invalid.

We need 750K votes, read EXACTLY what 750K offer's that none of the other tiers offer! FREE MEMBERS!

RE-POST THIS IF YOU SUPPORT 2007 RuneScape.

While the price attached to 50k players isn't a problem for me I've been reading around and comparing exactly what you will be offering for ~20$. I'm sorry but your price point is completely off and while I could swing it I'm not ignorant. You're kidding yourselves if you think 50k people will pay that. Your main game does not offer the level of service that say Blizzard offers their players. Now you're suggesting people pay you more than they pay Blizzard? Their players receive a quality product updated regularly but ALSO receive customer support that you cannot hold a candle to including but not limited to character/account/item restorations when they're hacked or even just accidentally sell something to an npc or destroy the item. After considering that last bit alone its pretty clear/embarrassing that you're basically willing to rob your customers blind by comparison. Your price point is fair for the main game but this is somewhat shameful

I'm Unsure if this has been requested before, But, I was wondering if it would be possible to make the 2007 version that you are toying with implementing a separate service, not requiring a membership for the current version.

I am a current member of RuneScape and have been for many years. I've had my account for ~9 years. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching RuneScape grow and evolve over the years, and you're game is truly amazing and I applaud you for all your work. But sadly the current version is borderline unplayable for me. I do not adapt well with the EoC system - It's just too much a step and I feel you have digressed too far from your roots.

I fully acknowledge the financial ramifications that this idea proposes and I LOVE how you even thought of implementing it. The community have mentioned that it could be a new method for you to make 'easy' money. But I have faith that you truly want, what the people who have made RuneScape what it is today, to have a voice.

My proposed plan is that you make the "2007Scape" (as it's been dubbed) a separate membership from EoC. Scaling with the amount of popularity it has, Likewise for server maintenance and support. This way you will maintain the people that love the EoC change, while *atisfying the ones who crave 2007Scape. Maybe even offer a different pricing system if you have EoC AND 2007Scape subscriptions.

Just an idea.

Looking forward to anything you could say, Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. I've played for many years, as stated, Always played fair and haven't had any black marks (as far as I'm aware!). The greatest reward for me would to have a response from you. I'm sure you can do it here, or you have my email address!

Your faithful player**** Capewell.

=======================

Except for the fact the rates slow down. I think we might get the 250k, but barely. And anyone seriously *hinking about 5-750k, forget about that. There ain't even that many people playing I bet.

The only way the 5-750k ever could happen would be if all the vets magically came back, or if the bots thought they could make profit with the 2007 servers, made accounts and voted.

An abundant amount of us were fighting for the same cause 2 weeks ago.

THAT WAS TO BRING BACK PRE EOC SERVERS, we have accomplish our goal.
But now there is a new challenge ahead of us.

We must fight for our stats, there is a growing number of us who feel the same way.
the people who oppose this think it's unfair to have our current stats transferred, and that's because they aren't happy with their accounts and just want people to start fresh like them.

I for one have worked hard for my stats, I sacrificed precious time, dedication, and labor for what I have now. I wish I had all the time in the world like I had back in 2004 when I was a kid, but now I'm in college and have a job. most of us can't advance in 2007 server like we once did.

The only thing I find unfair is the fact that if we start as lvl 3's, people who have a lot more time in their hands will have an unfair advantage.
