I guess the reason for such a large out-cry from the Runescape Classic community was because of a "broken" promise and this over bearing sense of "entitlement". The need to be different is a noble one I suppose but placing all your hopes into a item that NO OTHERS can get because they never played classic is insane. My main reason to appose the idea is because of this: This desire to stand-out amongst other players. I did that because it is fun to write random drawn-out stories time-to-time. Even if I might be to blame for getting players hopes up with a quest-outline. Another reason why players wanted the cape was because they felt it was the least Jagex could do for them, likewise for supporting them over the years.Īs for my view on the matter of to Cape or not to Cape, my answer it to not. Those who wanted the Cape saw it as a means to show how long they have played and there general long term "support" for Jagex. Some said they had lost even more faith in Jagex, for not going through with what they had said.
#RUNESCAPE CLASSIC CAPES MOD#
The side of players who wanted the Cape to come to light screamed when they saw Mod Mmg claim that the idea was scrapped. "You should just be happy that you can play classic."

Some players also thought the idea of getting an item in RS2 because you can play classic as insane. Regardless some players who play classic saw the Classic Cape as a means for players who just made the cut-off time for classic as a "free idea". For those of you who can't play classic you will not be aware of a few things, most of which I will not describe here. Now let me explain the division that the Cape has caused the classic community. This idea to Jagex was changed from a Cape for RSC players only, to one for all Veteran players of a certain "character age". At first the response was one of "yes" but as the months passed by the idea began to evolve. Although at the time of posting it is still "alive" in the quest suggestion forums.Ī few players questioned some of the staffers at Jagex if we would one day get this cape. Now I'll provide a link to the rough draft of the quest. Some even took the time to dream about what possible emote this cape would have.įor better or for worse, I placed it upon myself to create a logical method for players to even receive the cape. Some took to using "text" art and a few used Microsoft Paint to doodle out this cape. A few players dared to envisioned what this "godly" cape would look like. However the idea that took peoples attention the most was the "cape". Now in the past a few players requested a "blue crown" to be displayed for any "active" user of classic while they were on the forums and in-game.

I guess this is where the divide for this idea first arose, but I'll get back to that later. The original idea for the idea came from the classic community's desire to stand-out in RS2. If you don't know anything about the Runescape Classic Cape idea, then your most likely a RS2 user. Now because I'm a fair guy I'll post my views for both sides of this argument. Here are my views regarding the news of the Runescape Classic Cape cancellation.
