Nah, I spent too much time on this account. I'm not ready to do it again. 2007 with a fresh start... I might log in to walk around but I would not take it seriously. If they rolled back our accounts to 2007, I would definitely consider never leaving that server. Imo tho, 2007 was good but people are not the same now as they were at that time.

"Do you understand how long it will take for people to acquire the first Abyssal Whip in-game? And how long it will take for an adequate amount of supplies/items to circulate through-out the system? WAY TOO LONG mate. The system will lose a lot of players before things even start to get started on there. A LOT of people also don't have the time to do this in the first place. It is CRUCIAL that some sort of transfer or feature be implemented to get things started.

Back in 2007, the game already had 6-years worth of resources, items and armours to back up the game in 2007. Remember, a "fresh start" will take FAR too long to re-acquire all of this stuff."
______________

If by reacquire all the stuff you mean reacquire what there is today then that is the day when it dies. There is OVER OVER OVER OVER saturation in the game right now. Which a huge reason why this new server is needed, current game is just dead in so many ways. Once it gets to the point where pking the 2nd best range armor(black d hide) isn't considered good then the game is to far gone or when a rune pk is no longer good. It will not take "FAR too long" for there to be a decent amount of these items, meaning that it is an achievement to have it but not super duper hard to get. Rune armor will be achievable in first week, quests for it in first day, generating the gp to buy it a few more days.

The only weapons/armor that actually will take a while to get is d chain, dag king drops and whips. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max

@Palidion

The idea of starting fresh for everyone and giving everyone the chance to become "#1" seems beautiful, I know. However you just don't understand how unfair it is and how taxing it is on the players that VALUE their time and VALUE the effort that they put into the game in the PAST. Take me for example, I've played since late 2001 and Pked since 2002 on several of my accounts, I don't want to be put to level 3 with other people that started this game only 3-5 years ago. I, like many other TRUE veterans want to be able to login and PK straight away on our MAIN account(*), which will actually give the system a head-start, give other players something to look forward to and it is FAIR on the player that values their past efforts.

As a member who is not too interested in either the old version of Runescape, or the EoC (guess you could say I kind of lost interest in the game), the one thing that is interesting about this is that everyone will be starting back at level 3 with all level 1 skills / no items and money. The thought of everyone desperately starting out at a low level to quest / grind skills sounds pretty neat. The economy will be reset and overall I think it will even out well. We will see lots of low level player killing players working their butts off to get to 85+ Smithing ect. so that they can have a head start and make the most money off of the economy.

But in the end I have to remind myself that this version of the game will not be getting any improvements, the graphics are bad and the Gameplay has flaws. I am sure these servers will die off in ~6 or so months when everyone realizes that the game has had so many improvements, that even with the nostalgic factor, the old game is not near as good.

from a player from late 2002, back then i had all the time in the world to play this game and get my stats up, now i dont have that time but still would love to come back and jump on and play for a few hours when i have time, but to RESTART? sorry i wasted a lot of my youth playing this game theres no shot this idea will hold up and will fail within a year, but i will give credit when credit is due, you are listening to the public. now youll see how many people turn away from EoC and go to 2007.
