DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY SET F2p 750k? Hardest goal? Because they know ppl cant reach it.

While They made it easyto put 2007 back with 50k and no maintenance + pay $15 a month.

Total rip off. I hate this company, they changed to money milkers -.-

Do you guys really think your going to achieve your goal by bribing jagex for renewing your membership..........We'll your wrong the community we currently have now is strong and will stay that way nothing will split us up so please keep crying. :)

To Jagex: While you may be listening and acting; you're going about this very unfairly. I was a paying member from 2006 to mid 2012, spread out over many different accounts. I cancelled my membership because of a few things, EoC, game direction and SoF (Pay2Win). Why don't people who HAD a membership active for a long amount of time have a say? The people who want this most have quit because of EoC and game direction. How is it expected to get a somewhat decent 07 (250k votes) when only 50-80k players are on at a time? Even if that's not all of them, a 200k jump from 50k is huge, it should be more like 125k.

So we have 2 options, get 50k votes (which I'm 99% sure we will) and have to pay an extra $15 dollars a month for members (I live in AUS, this will cost me $25p/m!) and have no anti-bot technology, or option 2, 200k~ people buy membership for an update that will take over one month, so the quitters are basically PAYING to vote.
I bet you will have ads on the vote page too. More mulah, eh?
I would be okay with *5-10 extra charge, but not 15. Take a step back and look at this. You can handle this vote better.

Rant question over, calm question is this.
IF we get the 50k vote version, but then when the servers launch A LOT more people play, will you consider THEN adding anti-bot software and lowering the membership fee? Simple economics, higher fee = less players, more money, lower fee = more players, still the same money gain, made up from the more players. They're both the same, and option B is good for EVERYONE.

Do you guys honestly expect to reach 500k votes?

--------------

YES! Actually 1 MILLION or more considering:

The 500,000 of the 1st Regiment, *retired veterans* of the WHINER Brigade (stationed at the illegal ps that was shut down) and Wreckers Whiners of 50,000 + others will easily make 1 MILLION happen.

On top of that, Bot makers are hard at work already for the WHINERS who don't like the 07 server lvl 3 with no gp, meaning...

There will easily be 1-3 MILLION online on the new 2007 servers!

WOOOT!!!!

I have mixed feelings here.

I absolutely love the idea of having old servers back, I think a lot of people do. With that said, everyone that indeed played that time, or even up to 2008 or 09' has probably moved on with their 'lives' and wont have a whole lot of time to relevel their stats again. I agree in the sense that 'old' 99s were harder to get since a lot of updates ruined the feeling of those that accomplished those 99s the old way. With that said, im not sure if i like the idea of getting those stats the hard way again.

Then again, players make a good point that it would seem fair for everyone to start from scratch, i find it interesting in the sense that everyone will wanna play and skill up. I like the idea of items being of value, skills being respected, But once the big xp gaps come in for skills, past 80 or so, im not sure how long people will keep at it.

I stopped playing RS like 3yrs ago, and came on and off, membership renewels for a month or two then leave, rinse and repeat. Here i am, resubscribed about 1 week ago, and i see news about old RS. Being that i felt 'noob' with 'old' stats and items (bandos, ags, arma, etc) i figured i'd try to catch up with the newer prayers, potion vials and dungeoneering. Then i experienced HOW EXTREMELY BORING it was for me to mine from 68-70... i thought i could possibly get to 81 for potion vials in a month or so, but it just felt boring, im not sure i'd wanna lvl up old stats that i didn't really enjoy.

So im not sure wether to continue trying to 'catch up' with the new, or sit back and wait for the 'old'.. only time will tell.

Part of me feels happy, part of me second-guesses the 'old'. hmmm...

Jagex, I Don't want 2007 Servers, I just wants to play the Game as it was Before the EOC was released. Mod Mark you are a fool. I would slap you if I had the chance. Mark your vision is the worst thing to ever happen to Gielinor & to Runescape

The Game was destroyed when you implemented the EOC. Worse yet has come out of this. You have lied to us to often. THE FACT THAT YOU ARE LYING TO US NOW! Jagex categorically states that they have no Viable back ups after 2007! In this day of off site Computerized back-ups I say Bull Crap

We can no longer believe anything you say! That has got to be the largest lie you have ever told the player community. This is a Fact! JAGEX could easily roll the game back to Pre EOC status. The fact is Jagex + MMG & IVP choose not to.

If a 2007 server is the only game that I can play that is Pre-Eoc I will keep 1 Membership but I wont re-up Orik or any of our other family accounts Just to vote Yes!

Our family's 5 memberships where cancelled because of Mod Marks vision. 3 of the accounts where Vets. Those Veterans where members so long they where grandfathered. Meaning they paid only 5 Dollars per month

Our other family accounts paid 7+8=15* 15+15=30* That was a fair bit of money IVP lost by letting Jagex chose not to provide us with Pre-Eoc Servers when they Implemented the EOC

The truth is Jagex could easily Roll back the game to NOV 19 2012 But they choose not to. JAGEX Could of provided us with Pre Eoc Servers to play on just like they did when they switched over from Runescape classic

The truth is this!

Insight Venture Partner's & Jagex went this route to maximize their profiteering by using the EOC to destroy as many 5 Dollar Grandfathered veteran membership rates as they could

If IVP & Jagex had provided us with some Pre Eoc game servers to play on like they did when switching over from Runescape classic then *one of our family accounts would need to re-up our memberships for we would never have cancelled our subscriptions
