We need the same stats in both EoC and RuneScape!
For one, many of us vets are 20+ now and do not have the time to remake accounts that we can't PK with in EoC.
Additionally, this 2007 server will actually be incredibly boring for the first year or two if we all start fresh! Skeptics hear me out- Those of us with dreams of PKing in the 2007 wilderness will realistically have to wait 1-2 years until rune is affordable for PKing; There really aren't many fun weapons or builds for PKing that can be built with an empty economy.
Back when I first started playing, a rune 2h was 1.5M FYI which was way too much to PK with back then. There aren't many low level weapons that can outhit 12-14 hitpoints (lobster/swordfish), and fishing will be one of the first skills people would jump to in the event of wiped stats.
I know it sounds exciting now, but the visions of my character PKing 2007 with an iron scimmy lulls me to sleep just the same as EoC makes my character want to jump off the edgeville bridge.
Optimally, we need stat crossover, wherein players can train up their skills in the overwhelmingly more efficient 2013 server, and then bring them over to the 2007 server to PK/PvM with a separate bank.
