... although I'm much older and have a totally different life today, I think I'm still able to make some extra time for RS. I've played in two different periods, first 2003-2005 and started all over in 2006-2009, I've been member also in recent years before EOC but not so active as in past.
1. Fresh start is good for the game, i don't expect a steady economy right away but the thought of starting all over gives me a fun feeling, lately i've found myself thinking a lot of RS again (even at work and univ.), analyzing what i would do differently this time and which skills would be priority. It's not the will to get a 99 stat first or getting as rich as possible, it's just the feeling to build this world up again, every item we gain from clues or drops is unique.
2. I'm willing to pay more than normal membership price, tho as i do so, i expect atleast some kind anti-bot system, no to mention the fact that higher price most likely keeps the new era players and bots away. If we get 250k votes, I'd be happy.
3. About the rares. There should be a random event for all, so everyone would have a chance to gain one, this goes for decorative rares (I sure hope you won't create new ones, just the old ones). You must have obviously some clue how many rares were still actively in game back at 2007. As the variety is quite big, every player should be able to pick one tradeble decorative rare, one not tradeble decorative (bunny ears or scythe). I don't have a slight idea about the pumpkin, egg, disc and half-wine... discs and half-wines were/are basically errors in the game (rsc to rs2) but i guess you could come up with a fun way to obtain eatable rares as well.

Ok why not just keep the stats from 2013. Transfer then over to those servers but take out the new skills. And if you have new items that have been released just make them unusable just as if you were a member and went to a nonmembers world. The it's a used to be listed as "members item" and you couldn't use it. Or they shouldn't bring it back to 2007. Bring it back to when they re released the wild and staking. There must be a way to add back the updates since 2007 even if they only have a 2007 backup. I know there must be a way for you guys to do this, you guys are computer experts and can code whatever you want back into the game. I would just really like to he able to transfer my account over to the 2007scape. You guys did it when you went from RS classic to runescape 2. So why can you do the same and just make those new skills and weapons armor etc, *on excess-able.

@Philemon11
The reason to not have stats and items just transfer is to maintain player interest in the other game. It's the same principle why you enjoy things you work for over things you are given. Your hard work won't be lost though. The live game will still exist with all your stats and items. I do think you are right about them being able to put on certain updates but I don't think they will for various reasons. They wouldn't have to make the "new" items inaccessible as they do not exist in that version of the backup.
I hope this clears somethings up!

The payment that has to be made is: First, a regular monthly membership fee and then a Second Old School Server Monthly(<-- Fairly Certain about this) Membership fee to maintain the Old School Servers (as this is pulling resources from the main game and has to be covered)
Hope this Helps.
