Yep, I think alot of old school players that used to play runescape before they removed Wildy etc. Dont know about 2007scape and have forgot about runescape as a whole. A big portion of the playerbase was actually f2p.
Jagex needs to remove rs3, make the 2007 version of Runescape the "Main game" And start to work from there.
What Jagex has done with their updates has been really trying to make the game bigger and better, which was what destroyed the experience for me as a player, if they start trying to be innovative and with the updates, not trying to get the game bigger and better.
Note that with 'Better' I dont mean what the playerbase think is better, but what Jagex thinks is better. Two whole different things
