Im trying to see what people actually think about this possible update (or whatever it would be called) and seeing somebody spam "give me your items since your quitting" isn't very productive. i thought this forum was discussing the idea of the old runescape servers possibly coming back. not another place where a begger can annoy the crap out of you. *clicks* Pluto will explode in 3....2...1... i told you not to click me.

"jagex are you trolling us?

member only?

what you are trying to say is pay membership to vote ?

why is everything money?

when the wildy poll was official you got a 1.4mill votes wich u didnt belive before it was official you did not like it because you saw 1.4mill accounts were against your stupid idea to remove it. I know its hard to accept for you to admit that you made a mistake but you kept doing it and we showed you just again to dont mess it up or you will lose all your players.

for the official wildy poll you needed to have the account created some weeks befor the poll came out why dont you do that now? u know there are not even close to 500. 000 members now and u know we wont get close to 750k u just trying to help your self out and say ye we gave you the chance to vote but we cant help you guys didnt.

another way of milking our money very smart"



Well said, man... I agree.

Do you guys honestly expect to reach 500k votes?

Five years ago Jagex announced that they barely received a million membership accounts and this was the peak of their members. This was when there was about 200,000 people logged in at any time in runescape. So about 1/5 members would be logged in.

Ever since then, the memberships have been going down significantly due to updates that people have not liked, EoC being the highest

Today, there are about 80,000 members on at any time in the day. So multiply that by 5, and you have approximately 400,000 members. This does not include bots. So that means theres about 350,000 actual players (being generous here) that are currently eligible to vote.

That being said, EVERY SINGLE one of those people have to vote and there will be still about 150,000 votes short. That amount of people is possible, but given the time duration of 2 weeks of veteran players to find out and buy membership and vote, it is almost a joke and nothing but false hope.

Jagex will reach the 250,000 vote mark. But they know it will not make the 500,000 mark. Like their new mentality reflects, they want more money. They will get that extra 5 bucks a month they want. And they will play on people's hope to strive for that 500,000 milestone by making old veterans pay right now for membership to throw it towards *hat meaningless goal. Its another way to get money out of you. By riding on your dream of free old servers. If they really wanted to do this, they would make the polls for both nonmembers and members, just like they did for old school pvp.

Also, in old school pvp there was about 1.3 million votes that were recorded of both members and nonmembers. Of these, everyone logged into every account they had both members and nonmembers (i had 5)... Given a community a broken community of players, now required membership, and not being able to use every account you had before that 500k milestone is nothing more than false hope and a cruel joke by jagex.

This Post made me so happy :D
Thank you Jagex, YOU ARE AWESOME =D

btw all you people complaining.
SHUT UP, or spread the word.
This is what we have been waiting for, for a very long time.
Now is the time to be the most supportive.
We have waited long for this to happen, and when it happens u decide to complain about it not going to happen?
LET'S BRING BACK OLD RUNESCAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INCORRECT!

IT is a 100% done deal.

Nothing to discuss.

You can be a lvl 3 with no gp on the new server!

So exciting!

WOOOOT
