if you are able to get a 2007 version of this game running again i am shure that many of the veteran players (like myself) will start playing this game again. The amount of nostalgia you get when you look through old files with printscreens of drops from back in the day is just amazing. I realy hope you can bring this idea to life.

Having started Runescape back in 2003, I am very excited about this! I'm positive we will at least get 50k votes. Stopped playing completely because of the EOC(Not hating, just wasn't my style) Renewing my membership just to vote! As I'm sure many others are too. Thanks for the opportunity Jagex!

Hiscores has 1.8m members listed, but a lot of those are on 2-week free memberships. Over a million of those are minimal level with 1154 xp. Those million accounts were created but never used except as adbots.

That leaves 790k members with more than minimal level. They each got at least 1 xp after creation.

Many of those are 2-week member bots doing low-level botting, like mining pure essence.

Many of them are players who discontinued membership but their accounts continue to be listed on hiscores.

Many of the are long-time goldfarmer bots that don't vote.

That leaves roughly 500,000 paying human members.

Many of those aren't interested in playing 2007 RuneScape.


Level 4 - 750,000 or more votes: impossible
Level 3 - 500,000 or more votes: not going to happen
Level 2 - 250,000 or more votes: could happen
Level 1 - 50,000 or more votes: there certainly will be more than that

I'm pretty excited for this, but I think your vote thresholds are way too high. From seeing 70k players online at any time, when factor in f2p and bots, I think the active member count is miniscule compared to the 750k you are asking for. This basically makes the poll rigged as you might be getting a high percentage of the 'active members' but because you have set such high thresholds it wont show such results. Tbh even if you opened this poll up to f2p I still doubt you will come near the 750k mark (as long as votes arent botted). Please release some accounts statistics so we can see how faithful the poll really is... “I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.”
