BlueEyes 3 Posted February 15, 2013 If it keeps going at the same rate, we've had 80,000 in 22 hours, meaning roughly 1,200,000 votes. Obviously it won't get this many, but it should easily exceed the 750,000 needed for it to be free to play! Never properly got back into runescape since 07, so this is wierdly exciting....

ThomasR 1 Posted February 15, 2013 At 500,000 votes 2007 servers will be realised with no additional cost for membership so you'll just pay the 3-4 pound or whatever it is for normal membership a month, I think it'll easily reach the 500k mark, personally my favourite rs era was pvp worlds, hybriding/multi pking at falador was literally i did, i would love to see pvp worlds back.

Dave 2 Posted February 16, 2013 Wait, is there not going to be f2p for the new 2007 servers? Quote Share this post Link to post
Lewis 1,276 Posted February 16, 2013 Everyone will receive membership benefits, so no f2p Quote Share this post Link to post
Skeff 289 Posted February 18, 2013 I'm getting worried because its around 160k votes after 3 days, but 130k after 2days. It's getting alot slower Quote Share this post Link to post
Jamie 2,319 Posted February 18, 2013 Jagex have released a new update on this which will most certainly roll in some more votes: Since Friday we have seen over 160,000 votes and growing in support of bringing back Old School RuneScape servers. Congratulations! The team is already hard at work restoring this service for you and we hope to be able to let you know when they will be up and running ASAP. However voting appears to be slowing so it’s very much up to you and your friends to determine the ultimate level of investment for this service as well as any potential membership fee. Members votes decide the ultimate destiny of Old School RuneScape. Remember: everyone who votes will get their first month of old school RuneScape for free, regardless of the poll outcome. So, register your vote and encourage all your friends to do the same! We will be hosting a forum chat on Wednesday at 8pm GMT. This is will be your opportunity to ask the team anything and everything you could want to know about the plan for the return of OId School Servers. In preparation for this live discussion, we will be opening up a specific thread tomorrow for you to post questions to the team. This will help us to get the best members of the team to answer your questions. Again congratulations on the return of Old School Servers, and if you haven’t voted go to the poll page here. The RuneScape Team So if you're thinking of playing but can't vote because you're not member, make yourself member and vote now! Quote Share this post Link to post
Dave 2 Posted February 18, 2013 I would get membership, but I have no money and my parents will definatly not get it for me. Quote Share this post Link to post
giant_cheesepuff 95 Posted February 18, 2013 Is there even 750,000 P2P members on runescape as the vote is only for P2P so it might not even be able to reach the 750k mark giant_cheesepuff Quote Share this post Link to post
Lewis 1,276 Posted February 19, 2013 00:25am = 173,219 Votes 08:30am = 186,740 Votes Quote Share this post Link to post
Dave 2 Posted February 19, 2013 If we reach 750k it will have f2p and p2p Quote Share this post Link to post
giant_cheesepuff 95 Posted February 19, 2013 NutCracker, What I mean is that I don't think that 750k people have membership (P2P) now so they cant get the vote to that stage as it is a P2P member vote only, therefore F2P people cant vote.So people will buy membership to vote but it will still not reach this goal as Runescape has become a lot less popular in recent times. I think that Jagex have set that bar too high so that it will never reach that stage therefore they earn even more money from bringing back this Previous update as it is going to cost them a lot of money to host an extra server for it and they probably don't want the extra payload of work without getting a decent earning from it. giant_cheesepuff Quote Share this post Link to post
Dave 2 Posted February 19, 2013 Yeah, I know but I was just reading through what happens when we reach each goal Quote Share this post Link to post
