Disk of Returning was actually was a way for banned players to get back to Gielinor from the Black Hole once their ban time was up, so if you want to associate this title and cosmetic with anything, it would be that. Not exactly something to be proud of, eh?

The situation right now is out of everyone's hand and to divide people by "rewarding" some and shoving the rest is not exactly a way to get a community together. I wouldn't go as far as to say this will cause an actual divide or something, I'm personally happy these affected people will get their deserved compensation and I'm sure many agree. But Jagex is just missing the mark yet again, it will piss people off again and there is just no thinkable excuse for it. They didn't think this through and after all the things they did right recently, communicating with us every day, stopping the updates to work exclusively on the issue, that's all great. So this just surprises me a lot. I'm not mad, I'm disappointed. Be the change you would like to see in the world.

Yet you do know that has a different color scheme and is tradeable right?

These are just overrides and look completely different.

So how can you get these mixed up?

I guess I'm just old. I was actually around when the original Disk was, so for me, that's what they represent. For anyone who knows RS history, they would too. Different color doesn't make it different, it still references exactly that item, which had one purpose.

However, that is not the topic at hand here. So let's get back to that, okay? Be the change you would like to see in the world.

Yet these items arent from that time as its clear they are are in no connection to the past.

You can see them however you see fit, but to jagex and everyone else they are from this issue.

Also yes, different color do infact make them different dont see how it wouldnt?

What is the topic then?

Is it not discussing these "the returned" items OP is talking about?

We will maybe let you know when we will be talking about Twitch Play, we dont care about that on this thread.

Neither do we care about non-existing "division" of players in this thread as everybody will be playing in the same servers before and after they return. A Community Divided is not in the roadmap of RS3. :)

If u dont care about the threads main topic leave it, we dont want to hear Twitch Prime stories either, the last thing we need in a thread regarding the divided comunity is a derailing off topic troll.

I am already clearly telling everybody who can see with their very own eyes. There is no division of the community as everybody is playing in the same worlds making the same old and new game progress.

Agreed.

I mean if cosmetics can cause such a rift in the community, then i feel sorry for the future as i dont see this being the last of "exclusives".

The current situation is unique. It has never happened before, so there is nothing to compare it to. Those affected deserve massive compensation. They don't even know if they're getting their accounts back the way it was! But awarding exclusive titles and items, cosmetic or not, to affected players is a big FU to the rest of us, who have been just as supportive, patient and in a few ways affected by this as those who couldn't log in.


Yet how does not having cosmetics affect you gameplay at all?

Since they dont, why must you have them besides for personal gain?

You can deal w/o them just like i can deal w/o all the cosmetics i dont have.

Again, your comparison is completely invalid. Everyone had a chance to attend Runefest. It wasn't locked to specific players. Everyone had a chance to bid on the titles, not locked to specific groups. You are not special because you didn't get to play. You should not get a special cosmetic. It should be available to everyone. Even if the rest of us mere mortals have to pay for it or do something ingame for it. You are entitled to nothing, and the fact they even give you free membership for this should be considered a blessing.

Yet no one said they were and this is up to jagex to decide who gets what.

Jagex think we the ones affected should get these so according to them we're "special".

So at the end of the day, they labeled us as "special" so if theres anyone you should be mad at its them.

Ill just be happy being able to play again and i never asked to be labeled as such.
