2007 - Old School RuneScape... You Vote!

There's a rumor that the last few days the poll will be opened for Free to Play votes.

I sure hope not, that would be ridiculously stupid.

It's not completely unreasonable, they said if the vote gets to 750k it's be released to free players as well. Idk if they actually will but it wouldn't be completely outlandish if they did.

To me that is completely ridicolously for several reasons. First of all they have stated its member only several times and back it up with solid reasoning, so they would be going back on their word. Secondly as some of their reasons, anyone could just make a bunch of accounts and vote so many times, they could easily get the votes needed. This poll is supposed to show many people would actually play, if they did that the results would be all skewed.
I would be more ok with it if they added something like your account has to be a few months old already, but even then many people have tons of other accounts they could vote on (I probably have like 5).

The fact they are promoting it so extremely shows what I have seen several other times, they have indeed made up their minds already. I don't mind this, it just seems obvious to me now. With this the votes have increased and I believe it will hit the 250K now, however I still likely won't play on the severs for more than the first free month unless it hits 500K, which I am 99% sure it won't get too even now.

MMG did state that if they got within like 20k votes of 500k he might go ahead and smidge it up.

And MMG stated firmly that they will not open the poll to f2p period.
