"As usual, a lot of the complainers didn't carefully read the post. I won't bother explaining the misconceptions because it's all answered already.
After carefully reading it, it looks not only like the company is doing a very generous thing for ALL our players, but they're doing it in the most sound way possible.
People suggesting f2p vote, it really is not a very legitamte vote, since some f2p have only played rs for 1 day, while ALL paying members are actually investing in Jagex. Granted some f2p have spent considerable time and money in the game, but assuming Jagex does have a record of every dime you spent and how much time you spent skilling rather than botting, how would they define a cut off point for what f2p are eligable to vote. Also, this would mean they'd raise their goals. I hope noone here thinks they'd let millions more vote (half of which are retired accounts) and not raise the bar for voting. iIf you're member we know you're invested, and more than likely you are actively paying (not everyone has money to pay for a subscription they don't use).
Further more, though it might be possible to migrate items and stats to the old server, because 2007 is so different from current rs, that makes it too easy to introduce new bugs and glitches. Can you imagine how unfair it would be if Jagex forgot to program virtus wands not to be in the old game. If they did work they'd be massively overpowered and rare, and what about players who trained 120 dungeoneering. What will become of their stats. It's just simpler, easier, less time, less money, less buggy to start everyone at level 3 with no items.
To put it simply, you guys are asking for too much. Yes it's not perfect, but nothing ever is so quit your whining. Be happy they're giving you oldscape.
I'm voting for it."
What person that has played one day will come back to the game to vote. None. Your statement is invalid.
