Well i only have 1 question, do you have the account data from 2007?
if you do, then i don't see why we should start from scratch, as it will take (atleast) months to get the economy to what it actually was in 2007. Not to mention stats.
It just doesn't make sense to start from absolutely scratch, as the hard work we (pre-2007 players) put in our accounts will just go down the drain.
To me, there's no point to start playing from scratch.
As for the 'fairness' of starting from scratch, i believe that having veteran players on a 'new' game wil benefit the community more than everyone starting from scratch.
It's one thing to start from scratch on a game with somewhat of economy, then starting fresh on a game with no economy at all.
Regardless to what i stated above, i will be supporting the 2007 servers, just to see what it's like when it returns to the game.
Looking forward to any replies\extra information on the starting from scratch subject,
Yoav s.
