...I both like and dislike this... But more dislike, particularly since it barely interests me personally (though I do find everyone starting fresh intriguing, I would like to see how long it takes people to become established, since there's never been a fresh start moment in RS history, except the beginning, which I wasn't even around for). I don't like that if it gets enough votes it won't get a supplemental income to make it more viable, as that would seem to take away from the existing RuneScape budget and/or negatively impact Jagex as a company*****;****; (While they did mention it wouldn't affect the main game, the only way I can see that being true is if it affects Jagex's revenue instead, which also isn't a positive, as I can't see this making much money.)
Overall, while it's an interesting idea, I think the effort and money would be better spent in more staff and servers for the main game instead of a dead-end version from the past.
A couple of questions, though...
If it gets under 250k votes, would one require main-game RuneScape membership as well, or could they pay for the old-game servers exclusively?
And, this won't affect RuneScape Classic in any way, will it?
Sorry if those were answered elsewhere, but I didn't have the time to check the thread, but I don't recall them being in the FAQ.
