Well, if the release goes off without a hitch, who says the merchanting would only be crammed onto 2 worlds or one; could organize it in forums; the players could. Thankfully there are fewer items. Also, other trading hubs were in Edgeville and Seer's bank, as well as Catherby. Depending on what people wanted. I used to go to Seer's for logs; didn't go to world 2, knew there'd be someone with logs to sell; probably saved them a trip to world 2. I'd be happy to have no GE in 2007scape. I like the convenience, and there are so many items now, it really helps. But, old trading was more personal.
And all the discussion about old rune-running, back then 99 rc = partyhat; was such a grueling skill to train; but quite an accomplishment to have in game. The first thing I'd do in the game would be get a quest cape; working toward that would train everything; and quest rewards used to be a bigger deal, it was so hard to level then compared to now; obtaining quest items was harder too; couldn't just go to the GE. I wouldn't want my character transferred; starting from scratch is really appealing to me. I'll cut back time on current game a little while to get off to a good start. I also preferred the quest panel then more, could see the quests without blocking the rest from view. So glad I had all quests and most achievements done when new task system came out. I like the task system too, just not the interface.
With all that said, I agree the current game is the future, but, will definitely be going to the past; exited to see the poll open soon.
