Jagex you must not give in to those wanting stats/items transferred but keep it so all players start out at level 3!
Why?
- Fair Start
- Gives time for all players to contribute to the economy
- Encourages growth due to the rarity of items at the beginning
- Players are saying how many will quit due to the lack of items and trade but this will honestly teach players to be more patient and to value a positive economy since RS2's current one is hyperinflated.
- By transferring over items/stats you are basically adding "Discontinued Rares" in the sense that many players will make millions and even billions by using their skill/item advantage compared to others.
++ This also makes potential gamblers completely ineffective until they do Legends Quest which can take a long time to get the requirements for, and since most florists do not have the inclination to actually work for something like this, it renders O'SevenScape safe from flower scammers!

If you give players the opportunity to transfer items/stats you are allowing that effect to re-occur on this new retro server. Please don't allow the 07's economy to be effected by the transfer of player stats/items!
If you agree please copy and paste, and if not please re-post why

I think this is going to be a good thing. But seriously, with the 15$ fee, jagex is only showing they're greedy once again. Yes i understand that it will cost them to maintain another version of the game, but lets all be honest, they would lost so much more money if they leave things in the state they are now... just gotta look to the numbers.. and forums...
People that quit will return even if they already decided they wouldn't be back even if jagex remove EoC, having it with 2007 version and the fact that everyone starts from zero again it's reason enough to get many people back. Old combat without op weapons and where not everyone is maxed out is a good incentive
