Make it so with the poll people that are not members can vote. This is the only fair way of doing things seeing that if the 2007 server does not go through, people will be even more upset than before because they bought 1 month membership for no reason.
If the server does go through, then sure let members only play it.

@You announce the poll 2 days in advance, it's only going to last two weeks, and you must be a member to vote. You need to be advertising this, heavily.

First and foremost, an email to every account that you have an address for. Keep it prominent on the home page. FB****, Twitter, all the rest.

The number of members needed for the 'tiers', combined with the fact you have not sent any email notifications out, makes me wonder just how serious you are about this.

I'm 20 years old and started playing this game in 2005. 2007 was undoubtedly the year I spent the most time on this game.

Simply put, I am not willing to subscribe to membership and pay to start all over again as I do not have the time nor desire to do so. I do believe that Jagex should let the accounts that were active then have the stats/items that they did in August of 2007 for much more support of this amazing idea.

Can you imagine logging into your account and everything being the same as it was 6 years ago?

Food for thought.

Dear Complainers,

Your opinion in this is not required, nor wanted; this update will not impact on your gameplay experience in the slightest other-than bringing players back to the game.

If you do not like this update, that is fine, but don't spam this thread with your thoughts.

Having looked through a large proportion of the comments, it is clear that only the newer players are whining about this, despite the fact that they never experienced Runescape in its prime.

Personally, I played Runescape from '06-10 and am thoroughly excited about this update, it's what the community has been wanting for a long time, and was only able to feel through private servers. Even then it wasn't entirely complete and was missing a lot of in-game content, such as quests.

I'm glad that Jagex are finally listening to the community, but I fear that the majority of older players no longer pay attention to Runescape, or its updates and so won't hear about this.

Let's just hope that this project gets the attention and support that it deserves and needs.

~Rob.

I'm in support of this mostly because I couldn't care less. If it shuts people up about Ye Olde Days then I'll be more than content.

As for the $15 fee, well, that's really, really high. I know some people value the old RuneScape more than the current version, but at a price twice that of current membership for the modern game it's insane. Hopefully 250k votes are reached.

I did not play RS back in 2007, it is not a game I want to play. I shall not be paying for it nor shall I vote for it. Having said that, if anyone really wants to play it and pay for it then they are more than welcome to do so.

The only positive thing that I can take from this news is that at least peace will be restored to the community.

EDIT : I've changed my mind. I shall vote for it if the number of votes is below 50K just to get rid of the spammers and haters.
