No. Personally I hope it is only 50k votes so people have to pay 15$ to play a meaningless outdated game. People who live in the past bug the %#^* out of me. Although there is some things in today's RS that bugs me, I would never go back to such an outdated game. If I wanted to, I would buy a playstation 1 and play crash bandicoot for hours.

I suppose I don't really care one way or the other, but it would be neat to see what August 2007 rs looks like in a year or two if they release it and give it regular updates like they do the main game.
But I have to say, I don't fully understand the opposition to this idea. Granted you might not care for it yourself, but why then should it be kept from those who want it? I suppose maybe the big concern is that it will split the community. But ultimately, people are going to play what they want to play. Whether or not this happens, people will play the current rs only for as long as it appeals to them, and then they will move on. It doesn't matter what else is out there. Who here only plays rs?
With all the fuss that's been made from the people who do want an old version of rs, Jagex wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't at least guage peoples' overall interest to see if it might make them some money.

Little surprised how much hate their is for it too...
I mean, I'll look into it and I probably won't make the swap permanently but I'll see how it is and that will be exciting. Even if it only lasts a few weeks it's barely more expensive than a ninety minute film and the enjoyment here lasts a lot longer than that...
It definitely sounds viable without a strain on resources from the way they put it, to me at least. If there's enough interest to independently fund the server then I can't see any reason not to support it.
I like the EoC and I like many of the updates over the last few years. But, I also liked it back then too, and so did everyone else, or they wouldn't have continued playing. It will be interesting to try out. I do think many will be surprised when playing when, in fact, it isn't the same as it was back then but there's also many who won't be, and are just interested in the experience.
Voting yes isn't a "I hate every update, I live in the past, I'm swapping the second I get the chance because I am a cry-baby move" and nor is voting a commitment of exclusivity.

I dunno, I'm a little less sure whether it's going to work out in the long run. A lot of it depends on the voting, which determines how much support the game gets. If the voting does well enough to get content updates it will probably do just fine, but otherwise it's not going to be as appealing to pay extra for a game that has fewer players and isn't being updated.
I can't vote since I'm not a member anymore, but I'm kind of hoping it gets the 750k. It would be pretty cool to see how it looks in a year or two under the old combat system but with updates the players get to vote for, which means better quality and more popular updates with less dead content.

Wait Dave, there are going to be updates on this new server? I was under the impression that the dedicated team was only for fixings bugs, stopping bots/rule-breaking and community aspects.

I'm under the impression that they would only do essential game updates like those bug fixes/bot nuke, but also in my mind I could see them bringing in the GE... maybe even an update like changing unid herbs to grimy herbs.... stuff like that.
