True noobs

Jack, you make some good points there. I can see how people could find 07 more appealing. Definitely if they know people who already play the game.

I also believe many people wouldn't look into a new game that in-dept though and would just pick the newest version.

The fact that 07 is now free-to-play would rather make me think it'd attract veteran players too. But it may indeed give new players some more incentive to try it.

To me it now seems that new players would be spread evenly towards both the old and the new version. Do you agree on that point?

Agreed or not, we still have no idea whether there are actually totally new players though! Perhaps we should go to Lumbridge, as you have done, and interview a couple of noobish-looking players.
