It might be a pain to travel but there are plenty of trees, rabbits, cows, trolls, etc unless I'm somehow miss-understanding and you are required to chop a few trees, kill cows and trolls, etc? I don't think so but?
Goblins, Lumbridge cows, highwaymen, there's a number of places and things to do to get started. Fishing is instanced for and you'll need food. But this is a legitimate question, it might be very hard to even pick up the low level weapons in Burthorpe to get started for example.
Bonds - Your better off without them if you can spend a few $ IRL. On a world with nothing in GE to start, and nobody with GP also, it will be a significant problem playing in a way to earn money for bonds rather than using GP to speed your play.
I understand a few of your other concerns also. It's important to keep in mind Fresh Start is less about players and more about raising money for Jagex. I have no problem with Jagex doing this, I prefer it by far to "micro" transactions in RS as that would likely make me quit.
I think this is a good idea in general to allow Jagex to make money while not doing it in a way that "requires" anyone to participate or pay in the main game.
War of Legends destroyed itself when Jagex put a new piece of armor in game they had promised months ago and was needed for the higher tower levels. Nothing wrong with that right? Well yes there was, the price was $50 US for just a single leg piece of armor. I quit that day, never logged in again.
I would prefer the same doesn't happen to RS so I don't have to find a new game to play. So the Fresh start is a good idea. More information is needed on how it will work even after today's post though.
