I always liked the idea of starting over and replaying a game but this only really applies to single player games that take no more than a couple tens of hours to completely finish. In such games, you start weak but your power grows linearly and before you notice you're just running around destroying everything in your way. I replay games of my childhood for this reason, mostly from zelda and metroid series, and I do so very frequently.
Runescape just doesn't have the same feel. I really miss doing things years ago but that is mostly nostalgia, not something I'd like to repeat unless I go back to those years in my life for the whole package. Being a lower level was something generally unpleasant to me.
As for the bug, you can get 1047 def rating or something, in the beta, which makes you invincible. Whoever hid the thread probably misunderstood and assumed it was in the live game.
