Groovline,
I understand what your getting at. Lot's of people have lost the time to play as much as they used to. For example, someone that was 16 in 07 would be 21/22 now, and the amount of free time can chage a lot. But what I'm saying is that if they transfer the stats the economy will be messed up. Yes, there are certain advantages, like being able to do things that would require lots of training. But there's still the remaining fact that if the banks don't get transferred, then how will we get the tools to harvest high level resources? Bronze hatchets don't work too well on yews. If everyone starts anew, the problem is likely to be solved as soon as it arrises. Also (this is just an idea, don't start a war over it) could Jagex possibly plant a few high-level players/employees in the game to keep resources available and delete them when players can harvest the high level things, to get it going for the first few months? And we all have the concern of bots (and for the record I hate and never have and never will use), but with the xp farmers that could also help get the game going to it's former status.
Can't wait for the vote.
