Ways to introduce Rares in the 07 server.

1. Allow players with Rares on the EoC to somehow transfer rares from EoC to the 07 server. Obviously if they transferred them... and lost them on the EoC... that would cause major price increases in the Eoc.

Despite the fact that my wealth would skyrocket, this is not a good idea.

2. Allow players with Rares on the EoC to COPY rares or even certain bank items like rune to the 07 server... however if players are starting from scratch, then this does not make sense as there will be no clean economy.

I would definately play more often if all my pre 07 items moved to the 07 server along with my stats/quests. I do NOT want to get all quests completed again... but the idea of a clean economy sounds fantastic... so I am split here. (I remember getting EXCITED in rsc when I got a rune drop, more so than if I got a nex drop today)

3. One of the better ideas, and leading to the best (in my opinion) is instead of the new holiday events, reintroduce the most prized items of the past. Easter is the next holiday, and it is perfect for this suggestion. Replay the old easter bunny event but instead give out bunny ears as a prize. Honestly, chocotrice cape and a egg cannon cant compete. (I still wish I snagged a set of ears and a scythe back in rscT.T)

I dont have much room so I will post the best idea (in my opinion) seperately.

I HOPE THIS GETS READ AND NOT BURIED!

Do you remember being a noob lost in Lumbridge?
By 2007, I was lost in the woods south of seer's village.

Do you remember how exciting the Demon Slayer quest was?
I died my first time trying it.

Do you remember fighting Elvarg for the first time?
I killed elvarg when she had 15 hp remaining from the last noob who died.

Do you remember losing all of the armor and working your way back?
I got my first set of rune for 230k. I promptly went "pking" and died in 2 hits.

Do you remember having to work for your items and not just buying them?
I spun flax from 20-89 crafting. *shudder*

Do you remember using the forums to get what you needed and not the GE?
Or standing in Seers bank and trying to sell the crap you accepted instead of cash.

Do you remember how helpful and how talkative the community was?
My name was evil dawg in 2007. Some random dude to me on my first day... Hey evil dawg... watch out for evil chicken. I then proceeded to insult him, as I died.

Do you remember hanging out in Varrock Sq? In world 1-5? (lol)
Buyin all unids 1k ea

Do you remember PKing in 2007?
Pking wasn't my thing until Bounty Hunter.

Do you remember Varrock wild being a hotspot for PKers?
had to go to a low pop world to do wildy clues.

Do you remember when people PK'd at Varrock? And not Edgeville.
Right by the sawmill bar. lol.

Do you remember the hills, castle, and maze?
Indeed so.

Do you remember piling your own teammates for disobeying clan orders? lol
I was the guy who got killed. :D

Do you remember being excited to come home and PK with your friends?
More or less slay or wc for me. Always been more of a skilling type.

"Why can't we just choose which server to upload our items and stats to permanently. Wasn't level 3 when eoc was put into rs all I'm saying. "

why would they want to move all the skills that are extreamly easy to level now, into an area where new players would have to compete with them without all those items that help people level? just so you know, i have many 99's and will gladly give them up for these servers.
frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.

@tony riley

Doing Dragon slayer on your pure, seems odd too me :P haha, anyway you have too remember that initial things like food too train with and potions will still be in the process of being farmed/made, i made several pures back in 05-07, also starting from what was scratch, despite it being not very long (a week two at max for 60 attack, 70 strength and your basic quests out the way) i did buy my food, and runes, and potions.

And too anyone i have spoken too prior too this, if i'm coming across arrogant/ know it all sorry, i'm not trying too be. Just want people too know what too expect of a newly born Economy, not a 7 year prior built economy we had back in late 2007, not too mention the vastly larger player base that was back then :)

Edit: However too be fair, us players have become alot smarter since then, we know not too spend our first day killing goblins in Lumby picking up goblin armour. Or atleast i'd like too think majority of us have came a long way since then.

Good intentions but it wont last. I do think 2007 was a great year and i have fond memories of it but i also know that going backwards is never the right way. If its similar to how classic is now i have no problem with it but if it takes anything away from the EOC in terms of development i will be disappointed.
