No support. As an active RS3 player who plays on Legacy combat and retro override gear, I am beyond excited to see these new updates! Really hoping for old school Torso and Nezzy helm! Sofia with an F and Call Her Daddy

Find 1 person who actually likes how Dragon claws on RuneScape look over Old School RuneScapes' Dragon Claws and you have my full support.

Well i guess you support this then as i dont see anything wrong with the rs3 version of claws.

I mean if anything the rs3 variants are, IMO, how the claws are meant to look as they're more of a glove than just nails or w/e they were before.

So its sad to see you want this canceled but oh well.

We may be able to look at Jagex's new look old NPC graphics from their Runescape Kingdom: Shadow of Elvarg board game announcement today and get a clue on what the "retro" skins can look like:

Elvarg:

Knight:

Look at the details and how modern they are, although they are obviously retro NPCs in retro skins, then we should know how good RS3's retro skins can look like and the very same OSRS counterpart is just... yikes!

Yeah, that's the sort of thing I'm talking about. I'm not against that sort of retro cosmetic, just against the idea of porting the actual old models into the game as-is. ~

I mean, I see what you are saying about the old models not fitting into modern Runescape. But can you really say that cosmetics/armours are consistent at all? Personally, I think having wings as a cosmetic option is more jarring/immersion breaking than outdated textures, but what can you do.

Apart from a complete overhaul of appearances (perhaps in the player avatar refresh), there will always be some outdated looking armours/equipment, so I don't see any harm in adding a few more, especially if they are highly requested by players.

I'll have to 'no support' this one. Anytime Jagex listens to what players want is a good thing imo.
