They are fundementally different kinds of game though. I think people will tend to think the game is a different version of Runequest. The best way of avoiding that is to make a clean start. Of course its up to the individuals and the sort of game they want. Runequest has a heavy tactical emphasis, and is all about treasure, magic items and fighting - which runequest does better. What happens when you convert RQ chaarcters and they no longer have a magic system where you buy everything? No, clean break is best, so I guess we will have to differ.
