How does 2.5-3x exp rate for 30 mins after you vote sound?
I'm not fond of this idea at all.
Prayer although current players may not like it, the only way to truely get votes is to provide some sort of in-game benefit, it sucks but it's true.
Well not quite. Most remakes\old school servers I've played don't give out in-game bonuses yet they've managed to create a fairly large playerbase.
Look at 2006Scape & PRS06 for example. They both sucked on the actual game, but their advertising was extraordinary; let alone none came looking for in-game bonuses, just a remake to play.
