Sy_Accursed Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 There will certainly be a short-lived resurgence in voting via the lobby banner catching those who never read the news, forums etc..but yeah it already seems short-lived the 5min scraps had a brief 60 blip and already halved down to 30 again Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octarine Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 There's a massive great button when you login game now which says "vote". Does anyone know what happens if you click it? Does it automatically count as 'yes' or do you get a chance to confirm it? Looking at the massive spike in votes I'm assuming it automatically counts you as a yes. If it is that's piss poor consultation.Thankfully it only takes you to the vote page, it doesn't register a vote :) 1 Blog of DG, Bossing (mostly Glacors) and stuff - Runetrack Play Safe! - Got useful information for the tip.it website?

teknofield Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Votes per minute are still up there! And were still 6 hours away from peak time! This definitely throws off most projections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yeah cause peak-time paid off so well the first time round where votes just kept going down... And realistically all told this is still quite a small blip so doesn't make much difference to the projections people made mathematically, maybe bumps results up by 5k or so total, still interesting to see how it's wavering around though.

Abe Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 This will most likely fall on deaf ears, but for everyone voting against 07scape (simply by not voting) it makes no sense for you not to vote to bring it back. The way I see it, a true post-EOC runscape player would WANT the vote to reach between the 250k-500k range because that would cause people playing 07scape to pay and if anything, help out the post-EOC game. In the short term it may take away some of the Jagex team to set up the servers, but once that is done there would be nothing more to do any they would go back to the current game and nothing would change. I just don't see how people can have "negative" opinions toward this. 2 (840th To 99 Farm. Achieved on February 13th, 2008.) (2942th To 99 Crafting.

Indeed as has been said a million times before: The vote is to gauge number interested in playing and thus financial viability and price level neededVotes with non intention to play artificially inflate this figure.If its artificially inflated pricing may end up cheaper, but this won't necessarily be good as there will be far less players than the price was designed to work for. Also stop trying to guilt people into voting who do not wish to, it's kinda lame and childish. I mean not once have any of us who not voted tried to guilt you people into not voting; we've simply said we aren't voting and why. 5 Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean not once have any of us who not voted tried to guilt you people into not voting; we've simply said we aren't voting and why. Your reason's are very mis-guided and selfish.I believe it would be more misguided and selfish to cause Jagex to allocate time and resources into something you will never play. That's why I won't vote, since every vote counts (or should count) as a person interested in playing. If 250k people want to play and only that many, so be it, but inflating the numbers just for those 250k people to get what they want is misguiding Jagex. Hell, that's just going on the assumption that all of those people who have already voted will actually play, and that none are just zealots who begged their friends or made alternate member accounts to vote with, or abused the refer a friend system. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the 'vote yes now' button?Kinda obvious it's gonna cast a vote, but I'd agree a bit underhand to force the vote. Some how I get the feeling Jagex over-estimated the vocal minority and are now trying to push it as they know the 50k bracket isn't going to work as people won't pay.
