Should F2P themed worlds be offered to Free-to-play people as well (i.e. restricted to F2P content, but anyone can play)
Advantage of doing so is that it would most likely draw back in those seeking a long overdue dose of nostalgia. BAM they get their hit, and they are hooked on that good old RS bug again. A portion of these would undoubtedly play until they seek the more pure, membership form of the bug (Heisenberg approved).
The primary disadvantage here would lie in the dramatic increase in botters on said F2P worlds. It would not be uncommon to see our bald, green-robed friend hacking away at yews 20 hours a day. I understand this is an issue, but the effects would be quite contained, I think. F2P items (yews, coal, lobsters etc) would be affected, it would all depend on if Jagex, our royal protectors, would be able to catch the majority so as to contain them.
