More people played during the vote for the free-trade update. EVEN MORE people were allowed to vote (non-members). I don't see how that's even trade-off for 500k people (750k votes compared to 1.2m votes). Are there even 750,000 members? Are the 750,000 members active enough to vote? Honestly, I don't see this thing getting past 200k. This means all the veterans will have to get membership for the CURRENT Runescape game JUST TO VOTE. This is clearly Jagex's intention, to suck out even more money from the community, but hey if it works I'm all for it. I just don't want people being ripped off ($15+/m or signing up to vote and not have it be worth a damn). I'd be glad if this thing got 500k+, when I see it winding down and it's not enough I'll just do what jagex intended for me to do and sign up to vote.
