Jagex if you didn't have so many options to choose from you may have gotten your 75 percent to decide which way to go. I am not spending my time in the game to find where the rare items will spawn and trying to get one with all the others players and bots. I will not renew my membership either, don't really like playing EOC and I thought playing RS07 would be fun and it was. However seeing how the poll went with rare items, I can see 07 will not last long, so instead of spending my time building up my account and seeing 07 die slowly I will stop now. Good luck everyone enjoy 07 while it lasts.

"3. Events and spawns should also be suitable for people who work and don't play during the day. Please consider all time zones especially for events. Maybe ask some p-mod who play 07 to help run the events."

This is my biggest concern. There has to be a totally equal distribution over the 24 hour period, zero exceptions.

So let me make sure I'm not misunderstanding the process: you're going to release each of the items over the summer by randomly dropping them, and even if we don't get them we can still get them at the appropriate holiday, correct?

I really don't like the idea of having one chance to get a rare - a rare that appears randomly no less.

EDIT: Also, in terms of random spawns, should they be proportional to the amount of players playing? People who play during peak hours would be at a disadvantage for collecting randomly spawning items due to the greater volume of players competing for them.

I want a vote on this backup plan. Zaros is evil: "Zaros plainly requested the use of twelve legions of demons. (..) Zaros offered the secrets of travel between the worlds, to allow the Chthonians to devour whole new races rather than be reduced to preying on each other." From Sliske's Memory

I don't understand you; I am dissapointed with the polls, especially the first one. But it won't ruin the game either. Just look how the content polls went, some go really good.

If they cant be distributed EVENLY and FAIRLY, as they were when they were originally implemented, then they should not return at all.

Give all players to gain these, don't drop 1 item per world at one time, that's the most ******** thing I've ever heard of.

******* ridiculous, you know what happens when you think on your own Jagex, you attempt to fix things that arn't broken. If the community cannot come to an agreement on how to bring them back, then the community just doesn't need them. Simple as that.

BOTTOM LINE - You PROMISED not to implement ANYTHING without the FULL(75%+) SUPPORT of the 2007 community. You are already breaking that.

I like the way the items will be put into the game, but discontinue them after the weeks of putting all the items in the game! Everyone seems to like the way its being brought back. But the only thing we're asking for Jagex is to make them discontinued after. That is what the community wants.

Random spawns, one item at a time AND through each holiday event EVERY year the game remains open, yes.

''BOTTOM LINE - You PROMISED not to implement ANYTHING without the FULL(75%+) SUPPORT of the 2007 community. You are already breaking that.''

85% of this community voted yes to having these items brought into the game IN SOME FORM. That IS upholding the promise of requiring 75% or more on all poll questions.

The supermajority of 75% or more did NOT support discontinuing these items and they will NOT break the promise they made. These items will NOT be discontinued in OSRS because the supermajority didn't support it.

Couple more weeks and the items will start coming into the old game (as 85% of the community supported). Tradeable (as 75% supported) and continued (as the required 75% was NOT reached).

I think they're finally going to be the fun they were initially intended to be. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

In this spirit of voting for adding content to Old RS, put YOUR BACK UP PLAN up for a vote!
In the spirit of democracy, compare the results of this back up plan with the alternate options, and the one that people actually WANT should be implemented.

This seems so obvious to me, I don't know why Jagex doesn't have a vote on this
