I will probably vote for this just so I can enjoy RSC2 (that's what I'm calling it now :P ) when I feel like it if this is successful. I was never against the implementation of an earlier version of the game, but I was lead to believe that it was technically impossible from previous Q&A sessions. I am, however, entirely against non-EOC servers and I hope people have given up that silly tirade by now.

On the other hand, I am shocked at how ungrateful many of the people who've been wanting this for months are responding just because its 2007 and not 2006 or 2008-2009 -- even after MMG has stated that this is the ONLY viable option. Wow, just wow. Talk about looking a gift-horse in the mouth.

If everyone is going to start fresh and all items will be gone...

How will there be any rares in the game if all of our accounts start fresh?

Why don't you let us login and continue playing from where we left off?

It would be a waste of my life playing throughout these years making money and leveling up!

PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS!!

as much as i dislike EOC..and I DO!!..i will not pay more money to play 2007 RS if I have to give up my current account levels or bank..I will not pay more money to start from scratch..why not EOC and non EOC servers..we all pay the same amount..EOC skills do not crossover and work on NON EOC worlds..just like members and non members..

DO NOT further punish those who did not want your changes in the first place

"Basically what I got out of the news article is, you have to pay us 5 dollars if you want to vote! If not enough people pay us, we will punish you by making you pay a lot of money to play runescape 2007 if you decide not to bring your account back to membership status."

^Pretty much.

Since I feel the need to repost this:


About the membership requirement:


Let's put in simply:

No matter what, they need funding if they were to make something this stupid.

50k accounts = $5- *7 per vote = $250,000 - $350,000 to put towards new staff and servers, but $15 for additional upkeep. If all 50k do subscribe at this level, that's about *1,000,000 that they can put towards the game and people's salaries.

250k accounts = $5- *7 per vote = ~ *1,500,000 to put towards new staff and servers, with only $5 for additional upkeep. If all 50k to subscribe at that level, it's additional ~1,250,000 for them which means cheaper costs to play, and more attention to the servers. This totals ~ 2,750,000

500k accounts = $5- *7 per vote = $2,500,000-$3,500,000 to put towards new staff and servers, with no cost at all to the player.

750k accounts = $5- *7 per vote = $3,750,000-$5,250,000 to put towards new staff and servers with no cost to the player.



So the more money they get from initial interest, the more they can invest into getting the servers running in the first place. Additional costs afterwards are for upkeep.

It makes sense in you spend maybe a minute thinking about it. @Fannygirdle on Twitter | Co-Owner of The Scrying Pool, a future updates and lore clan
