@Snowflarky,
You're on the right end. Jagex makes millions of this.
Just pretend. 50,000 people voting "yes" on this poll, that 50,000 people are all subscribed to Runescape. Forget the profit of that.
Those 50,000 people all are going to pay that 15 dollar per month, that's what they've voted for. Say that they play on that server for 6 months, that's 50,000 (people) x 15 (dollar) x 6 (months) = 4,500,000 dollar.
I don't think it costs 4,500,000 dollar to host a server for 6 months. That's +/- 4,400,000 dollar profit for Jagex.
