Hey guys, I'm sorry if you've already received this message a couple of hundred times - I was just wondering, why are non-members not allowed to vote for the old '07? I had been a member of Runescape for over three years until I could no longer afford to pay for membership and had less and less time to play, but I would reckon I would pay again just to play '07. I understand that you feel that it's only members that care enough for the game to vote - but that is simply not true.
I am a Runescape veteran without membership, but I do *** wish to pay £5 just to sign my name on a petition. I and a lot of other people would find it greatly pleasing to see non-members (or at least people with high-enough levels to comment on the forums!) to be able to vote as well. A lot of players who have quit the game no longer have membership, yet are very nostalgic about Runescape '07, and this is the target audience you are trying to appeal to. If you are trying to appeal to this audience who may possibly no longer play, you are losing out on a whole chunk of voters who would like to see the REAL '07 come back to life (and not resort to playing on illegal private servers, which some players may or may not do).
If I say anything more, I would just like you to consider this point. Right now, the counter as you say is "slowing down" at just before the 2nd stage. If more people had an opportunity to vote, I feel that the results would actually be a lot more significant thank one would expect, as you would be giving a larger opportunity to people who feel as if they may want this opportunity the most.
Thanks
