i think alot of people would still play, but not the original, the people that have played pre RS2. Thats like 5-6 years work on an account, losing it all would be alot to take, and not be taken well in my opinion. Howeve those who have not been playing as long i tink would be very eager to start over, because like with the launch of a new skill, there is a mad rush of people trying to be famous for being number one, personally i wouldnt carry on, and would welcome a rest if it got me off the game lol
