Suggestions & Ideas / How can emps-world gain more players? (Try to read this thomy)

Dear Emps-Staff,
I have an idea for emps-world to gain more players.
In my opinion should Thomy advertise more. “Advertising is expensive”, said Mary? Yeah i know, but runelocus provides free advertising as long as you reach a decent amount of votes.
I play emps-world(scape) for more than 6 years actually. And at a sudden point did the game reach more than 1000 players when graham made that 1k announcement (back in 2012 or something). And i play emps-world now for about 3 months after the mail Thomy sent me and saw only 300 players on when i recovered my account back. I thought it will be next month like 400 or more but the amount of players just didn't grow, and i know that emps-world can get easily more than 700 players if more people get informed about the game actually. Alot of people still don't know anything about emps-world at all? And there looking at sites as runelocus.com, mmorgc.com, rune-server.org to find RSPS just like the old emps-scape...
So i looked at runelocus.com, a site that gets thousands of views every single day and saw a server on the 7th spot with about 8k votes. And rune Runelocus refreshes the votes every 30 days. Apart from that can you vote at runelocus every 12 hrs (so twice a day). If only 200 (from the 350) players votes everyday twice, will the emps-world gain like 400 votes a day x 30 equals 12k votes or even more. If emps reaches this amount of votes they will jump at the sixth or seventh spot. And it will even have a bigger impact if GE is up. You might think that it will not change a lot? But look at if from a different angle. Will it have negative effects for the game? Hell no! It will only have benefits?
"Oh, but people are lazy to vote". Ofc.
I've talked with Mary about this and she thought it was a great idea. I've said if thomy only gives a small reward for every vote, than it 'll work. People just don't dont something for free. Mary said "Yeah, but it will than ruin the economy of the game", i agree on this.
A solution for this is that thomy can give the so called "vote points" as reward. For example an emps-player will get 1 vote point for 1 vote. And if thomy creates a "vote shop" where people can exchange their "vote points" into cool non-tradeable items, than will people vote actually!
EDIT : An other alternative could be what Ahrim Gost said "What about if instead of actual rewards or vote points which everyone knows have negative effects on the economy. How about we just remove Double Xp weekends entirely, and for example each time you vote, you get 1-2 hours of double xp, this way it doesn't heavily impact on the economy and adds a suitable substitute to our current double xp weekends. May or may not like it , but I see this this as the only possible way of making an effective voting system."
Plus will it not effect the economy at all...For instance an amulet that grants you like +11 or +12 strength that is non-tradeable. This was even a reward in an other RSPS. And trust me almost everybody voted!
Thomy can advertise in other sites aswell for free. Think about mmorpg.com and rune-server.org.
I think this will work very beneficial for emps-world.
Thomy if you read this please think about it. Some staff even agreed with me such as Mary.
I'm just an oldschool emps player that wants the old wildy back because the wildy is currently dead.
I play this game for a very long time since 2009 and i really think it will work.
All the best,
