I think it's too risky to implement rare items right from the start. We don't know how many players will be playing on the old 2007 server, so it's impossible to know how many to add to the game.
It's all about supply and demand. If there's too many party hats/Christmas crackers/Santa's/H'ween masks or even disks of returning and such compared to the player-base they won't be all that expensive. If there's too few they'll become worth even more than they were back in 2007.
Wait a few months until you have an estimated figure on how many people there are actually playing and then add the same amount of percentage to the game as in 2007. That way they'll be worth about the same as back then.
Or don't implement them at all, though it's nice to have some valued items that are hard to get a hold of.
I think we deserve level 3-4 already. Have you ever seen so much support for an update before? Nearly 10k comments in just one day, over ten thousands likes on your fb page in one day, so many tweets in just one day. This is an update you should be going all the way throughfor no matter what for your players. Seems like all they care about is money though :/

Every new account made on runescape now gets a free 14 days trial membership.
But wait! you cannot vote with trial accounts.
But wait again! how much it costs to buy membership on trial accounts???
1.98$!
Make a new trial membership account, buy member for 1.98$ , vote and repeat.
If the whole community does this for 7 time, we will get 750k votes easily.
Please share this everywhere so we can reach our goal and unlock f2p on these servers.
Thanks.
You don't like 07 servers? don't play on it. Least you could do is vote so we can reach the free fee, that is the only logical answer. Yes i know most of you don't actually think rationally.
If you don't like 2007 servers then you have your 2013 servers to play on. Why are you even on this thread expressing your opinion if you prefer EoC over the glory days of runescape. The days with no overpowered weapons, potions, prayers, etc. The days of a ACTUAL COMMUNITY. The days were trading was useful, with no grandexchange. The REAL merchanting days. "
That wouldn't be fair to the others that don't have a rare then but might aswell allow the account to come over from eoc to then if you're gonna allow rares.
"you cant "create" new rares and put them in a shop. they are rare because their aren't anymore of them dropped.
Make a promisary note that you could bring from eoc if you have a rare. then you can give to django and get your eoc rare in 2007 scape
in other words bring your rares from eoc with you to 2007"
Stupid idea, the reason we're so **cited about this is that it's a fresh start. This would ruin the economy and would give some players advantages over others.
