I want to buy membership and vote but I need some questions cleared.

Oldschool Runescape in 2007 included f2p worlds with restricted items. Will 2007scape include a f2p-style world that restricts items that were once members only items?

(F2p worlds were most popular for pking, even for members.)

Will members trial accounts have access to 2007 servers? Since it won't be f2p, there needs to be a way for new players to sample both games. This will ensure a steady influx of new players, which I enjoy meeting.

first of all, THANKS a lot, i'll become member just to play in that server, i said once "stop complaining about this rc cuz they never listen and old rc will never be back", well i was damn wrong, and this is one of those weird times when i'm so damn happy to be wrong.
my only question (and just because i cam't remember quite well) would be, will be tutorial island back?

this just made my day, i spent a lot of time trying to find a good game to replace rc, but there is no1, i cant play any other game for more than 1-2 weeks, i just get damn bored, and i'm not afraid to say that i even tried to find a good private server but they all stink, i cant wait to play old school runescape

I believe that if they brought the servers back, more people would play the game. Why you might ask. If you look at the votes it is not a lot only due to only allowing current members to vote. My friends and I quit this game together and moved on long ago just because it was not the same game we played for years. I completely guarantee Jagex would make more profits. I would definately come back and I know my friends will too. We are sooo excited for more votes but after seeing no progress we just looked past it and put our hopes down :/ Jagex please let EVERYONE VOTE. Let people vote who have had an account before even 2011 and you would get the support. Thanks guys.

Anyone agree?> :)

To add to some of your questions and maybe answer some, I believe Jagex would put in some of the updates separately like perhaps dungeons and all but not ruin the wild if enough people wanted it. My brother and I were just talking about how one great update they had was the GE, but it depends on how many people want it for the company to add anything.

"Our current members are the ones we know for sure are committed to RuneScape and have the biggest stake in our future. If a member votes, we have a high confidence they’ll follow through, as they actively play and pay for RuneScape already. Another reason is that a members' poll run using our own systems is something we can do securely, completely trusting the validity of the result."

So a person who has played Runescape since around 05 can't vote because he doesn't have a membership? Take in account that some people that have a membership now did not play before 07 so they would not know from experience what Runescape once was.

You shouldn't be surprised the voting numbers are quite low, most former players like me are hopelessly waiting for a miracle to happen. But until then, I'll be watching on the sidelines... Watching something I and many others helped build, be decided by people with "Memberships."

The following is a post on Runescape's Twitter account:
"The two will be completely separate, so if you wanted to play both you would need to subscribe to both"

Does this mean that if I want to subscribe to the old school servers, without having membership on the current servers, I will be able to?

I will gladly pay 5$ a month to play a game that I loved so much, but sadly the direction the game has taken makes the current version unappealing.

Now, I have made a new account a member for which to vote, but if I am forced to subscribe to both games to simply enjoy 2007 Runescape, I do not believe I will be returning, as I feel $13 USD/month is unreasonable. However, if I can subscribe to old school Runescape only, you'll be getting my $5 a month every month, for a long time. And I feel that this is the same opinion that a lot of other veteran players have.

<- member from 2004 here and getting a bit tired of Jagex's antics... lately i've been playing mostly WoW Pandaria :(

how can you even justify not voting at all equals a vote for "NO"?
Democracy is all about expressing your opinion through vote and participation!

In my opinion only dictatorships & totalitarian regimes can have such a twisted logic :(

i tried changing the url when expressing my vote from vote=1 to vote=0 to express my opposition and your system blindly decided to thank me for my vote of "yes"... wtf!

nice ballot stuffing logic there.
