Ok, look, Jagex is not stupid.

First, they want money to pay for the 2007 servers. If you are not willing to pay to vote yes, how can they count on you to pay for the upkeep and staff required to run the 2007 servers?

So if you are f2p, sorry no vote, because Jagex can't be sure if what you say is true. Put your money where your mouth is, get membership and vote.

Second, if 50k vote yes, jagex can assume that maybe 5k (10% very optimistic) will pay for the $15 dollar additional membership fee, maybe only 1k.

If 250k vote yes, they can assume more of a percentage of that base will pay the additional $5 for servers and staff, though it might take more staff. So the more people that say yes, the less the additional membership fee will be charged.

If 500k vote yes, jagex is figuring people will pay just to play 2007scape and so they can offer it free with paid membership. The additional members would make up any money it would cost for servers and additional staff to run the servers.

I think Jagex is wrong on how many will actually play and how many can be attracted to the game or back to the game by offering 2007scape, but we shall see.

I see 50k people voting for this easily. 250k? Maybe. After all, I think the vote is 2 weeks long. That give plenty of people to get 2 or 3 membership accounts to vote yes and show Jagex how dedicated you will be for providing revenue for the operation of the servers and staff needed to run the servers.

This members-only poll makes no sense whatsoever.

There are so many people like me that can't stand EOC and have therefore stopped having anything to do with the game, including paying for membership. HOWEVER, if this were to return to the 2007 version, I would definitely consider paying for membership again. BUT it makes no sense for me to pick up membership now just so I can vote when I can't stand EOC and would spend the month that I bought membership for not even logging on.
You claim that you want to "bring back many veteran players." This move just doesn't really support that at all; it makes no sense. You won't get any veterans to buy membership just so they can vote.

Jagex you must not give in to those wanting stats/items transferred but keep it so all players start out at level 3!

Why?

- Fair Start
- Gives time for all players to contribute to the economy
- Encourages growth due to the rarity of items at the beginning
- Players are saying how many will quit due to the lack of items and trade but this will honestly teach players to be more patient and to value a positive economy since RS2's current one is hyperinflated.
- By transferring over items/stats you are basically adding "Discontinued Rares" in the sense that many players will make millions and even billions by using their skill/item advantage compared to others.

++ This also makes potential gamblers completely ineffective until they do Legends Quest which can take a long time to get the requirements for, and since most florists do not have the inclination to actually work for something like this, it renders O'SevenScape safe from flower scammers!

^ "Jagex has stated that they do not wish to recreate the effect that Party hats have had on RuneScape's economy." - The Runescape W**i

If you give players the opportunity to transfer items/stats you are allowing that effect to re-occur on this new retro server. Please don't allow the 07's economy to be effected by the transfer of player stats/items!

If you agree please copy and paste, and if not please re-post why :) !

P.S. This version has correct grammar.
