I usually never respond to anything i see on here as it doesnt usually make me feel happy about the game.

In this case.....

I truthfully can say i see Jagex taking a step in the RIGHT direction. Thank you so much for listening to our community and the people that make this game great.

Mark, you sounded like you truly care for the future of this game, lets keep it up!

yes in the new server we all start at level 3, but im confident within a few months of playing we should have a good economy and soon the wildy will replenish itself with the blood of fallen pkers

I'm glad it's 2007 of august. Why?

1. No gwd. meaning= no overpowered swords

2. no ge. meaning= bringing the community together much better

Jagex you clever monkeys you. :]

The idea of having members only having the ability to vote has perfect validity behind it, and I see your reasoning behind it for sure. It's also a great way to get some extra memberships once the word spreads about this though, and I see the marketing strategy behind it, but I don't care.

I'll be renewing my membership just for a chance to vote, and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed in hopes of reaching either levels 3, or 4. I believe the 4th level would be simply phenomenal. If I'm understanding correctly the 4th level means that the 2nd dedicated development team would be asking the players what additional content the community would like to see added, so if that's true then we'd truly have a "We pay, we say" mindset, and I think being that open-minded with your customers is a great step in the right direction. It's a great way to bring players back, and it's a great way to enjoy a game that's been in our hearts for quite a long time.

I'll be renewing my membership on the 15th, and then seeing where it goes from there whether or not I'll make it an ongoing subscription, or just a one time deal.

On a side-note: I don't understand why people would be opposed to this. There's already Runescape Classic, so that's proof that the possibility for separate servers is there, and Jagex has already guaranteed that it wouldn't take away from the original game in any manner. It's completely optional, and you don't have to partake in this server. I've seen some people who plan don't plan to vote just because accounts on this server would start on Tutorial Island, and people don't think that there are those are willing to start from scratch. I think that to be completely misinformed, because I know my close group of friends (around 5 of us) already plan on starting, and sticking only to this server, and I've seen many others who have several maxed out stats like us willing to start over as well. I digress though.

About time you guys did something right.

Finally realized how many people you are losing and even mentioned it... you want the old players back, after you've been pushing us away for years trying to entice new players you finally want us back...

You see that "people currently online" count up there?? Yeah, like 70k.... It used to be rare to see it under 100k and I haven't seen it over that in months.

You guys know that there is plenty of support for this and are just doing the vote system so that more people will sign up for membership so they can vote.

This is an amazing idea. The only flaw with having all P2P members vote is that a lot of P2P members were not playing back in 2007; therefore, they do not understand the differences in the game and do not have any basis in deciding if "07" is worth it. I would say that in addition to all members, all accounts created before 2007 should be able to vote- P2P or not- because they have a true understanding of what they are voting for.

Thanks for the excellent idea Jagex, and I really hope this works. I will be a P2P account forever if it works.
