Do we actually lose our money and cars and everything?

[Robby_Wilson]

I worked so hard as a fireman to pay for my cars... I don't want to lose them... I don't want to lose my cars, nor my money, nor anything I own do we actually have to lose everything?! :"(

Here you have your answer regarding RS5, it's quoted from a post Gandalf made.

It is time to end the speculations, which we have allowed in order to see how the community will react.

First of all, the idea to make a full reset for RS5 has been mine, with support of Gimli.
The reason is that we want to make a new account system, that will make it easier to get information and protect against intrusions and hacks. For this, we would need to make a major operation regarding the current accounts, as the old data would have to be read in to the new system, with chances of errors.
If there would be a small error, it would mean us spending days or weeks to sort out who has what, instead of fixing script bugs and updating new features.

The problem is of course that we should give something in return. For those who remember 2007, we made that time a loan system so players could open a business with little money, and made sure there was extra man power to set all houses in short time.

If we choose a full reset, then that does not mean active and old players will lose their name or automatically lose their long-standing business. However it will mean that those players who are not active will lose out, in favour of the active players.

How exactly this will be done is something we do not know yet, as most of it is at this time just an idea brewing in my mind. But rest assured, wwhen the time comes you will be informed and get all chances to retain landmarks.

We will now close all reset topics, until the time RS5 will go in to beta testing. Before that time, you have nothing to worry about.
