@Stan

That is EXACTLY why they should insist upon "an overwhelming" majority.

200k walking away because you did something they didn't want (to the old game) is a significant financial loss.. no matter how you look at it.

They should require significantly MORE than a "majority vote" AND they should not couple ANY votes together.. it should be ONE thing at a time, not multiple changes in one poll. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

- Firstly, how would you like the community polls to work? For instance, what degree of consensus should be required?

A thread in the forums that describes what the purpose of the poll is. What the selections are, how it can effect the game, and approximate duration until released.
Within the thread has a link to the poll.
The purpose, in general, is to have an in-depth conversation amongst the players. This prevents blind voting so players know exactly what they are voting for. Also, people will speak of pros and cons to the selection.

Poll it self
---------
1) Players who have voted for 07' servers should have a higher voting weight than players who have not voted, and players who are new to the servers. This allows 07' voters to have more of a say.

2) "I vote for none of these"
People who don't vote don't have a say if it is 50/50 (such as getting to 500k votes, those who did not vote are effecting the 07' membership fee). By adding a "I vote for none of these" is for several options. This allows players to have a say in what content is in the game... that includes not having any that is being polled.

3) Ability to change vote.
Player's change their mind and point of view. Maybe they were persuaded, maybe they thought about it, maybe they could sacrifice their first vote for another selection. This allows players to have that ability. I know I have made quick votes without really giving it some thought and regretted it.

4) 80% and it's in.
If a selection has 80% of the votes, it is in. If none of the selections meet 80% or higher, than "none of these" are going into the game at this time.


- Secondly, what content changes would you like to see shortlisted for the first polls?

Interface/tweaks to some gameplay such as: Remove roofing, visible hp and run without going into skill tab or option tab, clan chat auto log in, tab to reply to pm's. Nothing like, G.E. or Resting.

I and my clan have enjoyed the nostalgia of old rs immensely, but as a clan leader I do have some concerns - my clan is now split between my 2012 clan chat and my 2007 friend chat. my 07 players cannot access the main clan chat and my clan is having to log into both the cc and the friend chat to stay in touch with everyone. Trouble is, when you leave or lobby for a while, you don't auto log into friend chat, so we lose contact with our 07 players frequently until someone pms them to remind them to log back into fc

Can the interface between the clan chat and the friend chat be corrected so that the 07 can run either clan chat or friend chat? The friend chat and friend/ignore lists are all connected and I can't see that adding in the ability to sign into the clan chat would cause any tainting of the old nostalga in the 07 game

I hate to see my clan split up like this, and so do they! We love to play together regardless of if we are eoc or 07. most of us were around for the old game and love to play there too. We frequently switch between games and would love to be able to stay in touch with each other more easily!

We appreciate your assistance in this!

I think you need to find out why everyone is playing first. If they're playing like I am for the hope that they can basically reboot RS up until they added microtransactions and started giving away xp then a simple majority is perfectly fine. Although, in really narrow cases, a more in-depth poll should be used to find out a way to compromise if possible.

I wasn't going to get membership since I absolutely hate that wheel thing and stopped playing once they started selling spins but I decided that Jagex deserves one more chance since they did provide me with years of entertainment up until that point.

The game will never last if there isn't frequent updates. People want it now but that's just because of the novelty factor. People get bored.

Well, i have read most of what has been said, and i believe that nothing should be implemented into game unless there is 70-80% agreement, next if possible i would like to see the poll like a pop up screen you would see when you first log into the client.

Next for the things i would like to see updated,
- bank: like the ones in original i hate having to scroll down and i like have my bank into sections were everything is in its own tabs nicely organised.
- hitpoints: i would like to see my hitpoints, i don't like having to flip to skills tab to see what im at.
- Removable roofs: i like to keep my screen upwards and every time i enter a door, i have to move my screen around to see in front door.
- run option: being able to be accessed from other than settings.
- flashing skill: i liked seeing the flashing skill (so i knew i had gained a skill) then when clicked you got to see what you can do know cause when fighting it passes by and i may have missed what i can do now
- tab to reply: (self explanatory)
- clan chat: somehow make the clan chats between both eoc and 07, im in a clan but cant talk to the people in the clan because im in 07*
****-sizable screens:

voteing system shuld be that an update will happen is the votes for yes reach 85% the poll for go on for 1 week and you should put info in there on what your going to do with this update not just say we are bringing back gwds but everything will be cut in half exp wise or someting like that also if the player vote yes and then change there mind it should be taken out as well


keep unids i havnt seen them in years (DONE)

no gwd

bring corp back

no dragon claws

bring dragon pick axe back

no task system

keep wild the way it is do not add a pjing timer that is just stupid as well since it is the wild and if people want to steal a kill from someone they should be able to, lets say you go teaming in the wild, trying to catch someone but team mates cant cuz of the pjing timer leave the wild alone or add a pjing timer "but" make it only active from wild lv.1-5 so people who want to team can do so

bring back clan wars

do not add citidals or clan chats

do not add dung skill

add sommoning

add queen black dragon but no royal cross bow

add rares

no grave stones my reason for this is if u die and no one is around the iteam is lost so t is taken out of the game and you wont have an over flow of items in game like we do in eoc so many whip they are only 100k

add a resize or full screen mode

add a tab for pming someone

in a way i say dont mess with the mith seeds for one reason i used to be so jelly of a person that hd black flowers NOTE this was before ge so they were very rare of some sorts and for gambling just dont go to it simple

also fix the reporting for bots so they dont have to talk or trade to get reported

filter for game so does block out chat

these are some of my thoughts to keep as well as to add to the game to make it alittle better maybe maybe not who knows but iv just given some people alot to think about for updates and how the voteing system should work

Totally agree the consensus needs to be an overwhelming majority(at the very least 75%) and with the ability to vote "yes" or "no" (other options possible but those two are key).

Maybe instead of an ability to change a vote(that sounds like it might cause issues) there be a cool down. The question be put forth, then a period of time must elapse prior to the actual vote . Allowing (forcing actually) dialog between players and time for consideration before they cast their vote. I'd say something like a period or 14-30 days. Plenty of time, at any rate, for word to get round and people to think their choice over carefully.

I like the idea of a pop up screen that someone mentioned in an earlier post (with a don't show me this again option) on log in. A disturbing number of people never read the front page news or forums as most of us here know. "WUT WAZ DA UPDATE????" folks abound. Better to have them in the loop front end than QQing after some major change as happened in many cases with combat beta.
