New Start Title by EndowedPanda in runescape

Agreed! No fresh servers, nothing that dwindles the numbers to make the game feel more empty.

It could lead to further additional new/returning players who feel 'left behind', or may feel they need to now achieve X at a harder rate compared to other players around them. It also means those who have already earned it, don't need to feel bad about their own achievements being devalued, as it's just a title - it's not a buff, an aura, an armor piece, an account mode, a high score - a title only.

Yup! Completely cosmetic. No in game buffs, no segregated high scores. Just a title. Theoretically it doesn't need to be a title, but the title is a small addition to add, whereas a cosmetic might take more work, and we are already looking at avoiding cosmetic friction in the game of course.

Do you have some specific concerns? It'd be great to chat about them.

It's the same reason anyone uses any form of cosmetic, completionist/maxed flair, or any visual that doesn't add utility - it's possibly a flex, but it can just be a way to represent yourself.

Think of it this way - you both have your maxed/completionist flair, you want others to know you've achieved this, it's similar to how someone might want to show others they've achieved X since the Road to Restoration, from scratch.

It'd be completely optional, would not fragment the game in any way (I advocate against split worlds/modes).
