If these servers do happen and people are up for it, it'll actually be really interesting to see how things work out with everyone starting from scratch. Provided the servers are free I'll probably play a little for the challenge of starting a fresh account with time consuming training methods and very little freebies, but will by no means abandon the main game.
As for rares, I don't think any should be introduced. When tradeable rares were first introduced to the main game they weren't "rares" in that sense of the word, as the concept of discontinued items was new and no one thought they'd rise to value they have today. Todays community is more than well aware of the possibilities of tradeable discontinuables and introducing new ones simply leads to mass hoarding and the prices immediately shooting up. Untradeable rares are fine, though.
