Anyway, I’m not personally focused on these things. I’m more interested in how quests develop. I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity. :(

yes, because i'm sure my priorities during school should have been playing runescape on a computer. you still haven't given a reason as to how bringing back old holiday items would destroy this game or make thousands of players leave. because it wouldn't. we can keep arguing back and forth about this but i'm not going to give in.

If you arent going to listen to what ppl say, then whats the point in even trying to reason with you?

You have your ideal that these should be brought back and others here seem to think differently.

So if you dont want to see it from our POV then theres no use trying to explain it to you.

you couldn't even give me 5 good reasons how bringing back old holiday rewards would ruin the game or cause thousands to quit. you guys can keep arguing with me and saying it will never happen but one day old holiday rewards will be re-introduced whether you like it or not. it's not ruining anyone's gameplay either and that's what really kills me. it's not going to hurt you if your precious scythe gets re introduced into the game. and just so you're aware i'm fighting for others, not myself. i could care less honestly but my point is i don't see the harm in it at all.

Somethings are just not for everyone sadly. Plenty of other items you can have though. Vet players need something to show their age and loyalty towards the game. I cant support this my friend.

yeah they have veteran capes for a reason. not to mention, no one cares how long you've been playing. sorry to say.

I personally would prefer every year, or every few years, have something exclusive dropped.

However, it’s just a game. Jagex currently is of the view that everyone get all things. But there’s just so much stuff now… The value is partly in the age and rarity.

It’s like “owning” an NFT link… There shouldn’t be so much anger either way. If things start returning, it might just be Jagex’s way of telling people to stop playing, go outside.

It’s like playing Final Fantasy for 20 years, somehow, only to have the NES cartridge break. I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity. :(

Yep as theres no reason giving you any as you would just ignore them as you have clearly said in your post.

If ppl really cared about these sort of things though, they would get them when they could.

Case in point, i was able to get the monkey cape on the last day it was available.

So happy i got on in time.

personally i think its kinda cool that there are items that cant be obtained anymore, it reminds me of pokemon flippo's in those chips sacks.

sure its sentimental but its also a bit of history that moves overtime.

personally i dont have any untradable og rares and i would like some stuff like the summer games clothing but i think the fact that i dont have it and cant get it makes it look better than when i would have it already, and in respect for the older players i wouldnt like to see it get a return since thats pretty much a backstab to the older players who actually had to grind hard for it back in the day, its a bit simple minded to think when he got something i want it too imo. trusting certain pc lists or prices of items or websites that dont belong to jagex will get you into trouble notice: external websites and trades are your responsibility, dont get fooled!.

Let's flip the script. You haven't named 5 reasons why it should be re-released other than "I'm entitled to things I didn't get and can't get". Not re-releasing the scythe isn't going to ruin the game either. Of course over time the non scythe player base is more than the scythe player base due to player growth over the years and some people moving on from the game for whatever reason. Only those accs with the scythe should have a say on re-release or not.

As far as the vet cape goes. The 20yr cape is only cool the first year or 2. After that it doesn't mean a thing because so many people start getting it.

Like I said. I'm cool with re-releasing it but it needs to have a completely different color scheme to differentiate the tru OGs to the new look scythe.

Honestly you really just sound butt hurt over not having the scythe.

Don't budge on your view. I don't care. I'm done here.

Exactly.

Some ppl just need to learn they cant have everything they want in life.

Case in point, i just found out about the Blightreaver override and saw i missed out on that.

Yet i wont be asking for it to be rereleased no matter how much I want it to.
