Like the god old AD&D books say, vampirism should be a curse. The best way to solve this is to let the players have the charactaristics of their old character, however, force them to play during night time only. (or instantly during the day) Also make them hungry for blood and more powerfull after they just had a good meal of blood. (saving up blood in containers doesnt count.) Also be sure to add some more nasty side effects, preferably maintaining a good strong tie to the AD&D vampires. After all, AD&D has been played long and still is quite popular.
