Ooh, you guys are going to love this. I have played RuneScape for almost 10 years, and I am a pro-EoC person, seeing as the old combat system was something I've wanted changed since I joined the game. Now, after reading on the RS Facebook page, and reading through the first 38 pages of this beautiful forum post, I'm going to share some things with you all, because it's not going through your skulls.
I do approve 2007Scape. I approve starting from level 3, with everyone on equal ground. I approve a SEPARATE team to work on this that WON'T take away from our current updates, as Jagex has already stated. I approve of there being no micro-transactions. Now, some things keep getting asked multiple times, and I've seen these same things answered multiple times. And I've seen them answered in the first post as well.
Level 1 - 50,000 or more votes:
"...with an additional membership fee of around $15." Now, everyone is acting like this is the end of the world. If you don't play 2007Scape, you won't be paying for this! You will not be charged for a service you are not using. D: Chill out.
Level 2 - 250,000 or more votes:
"...additional membership fee of around $5 extra." This is going to be the likely scenario. And that's cool. So get your heads away from the $15 one. Again, you won't be paying for it if you don't play 2007Scape.
Now for the fun part.
Level 4 - 750,000 or more votes:
"...no extra membership fee and (((the free portion of the game available to all)))."
See that, in parentheses? That little claus? To all of you asking WHY this vote requires membership aside from what is in the topic... think about it. 2007Scape is going to be a MEMBERS ONLY FEATURE, just like RS Classic sign-up. So if you want to whine about getting membership back to vote, but you also want to play 2007Scape... Guess what? You're gonna have to pay to play ALL of 2007Scape anyway. Only if we reach 750,000 votes will PART of 2007Scape be free.
Have fun thinking about that!
