LOL! Is it really what I think it is? If these player made outfits will cost runecoins to purchase then it would be just ridiculous. What you do is just ask players to design new costumes for you and then you just sell them for profit without doing anything yourself?
I also can't see any rewards mentioned for the winners so does it actually mean it? I rarely comment on the forums but this is just truly awful if it is what I think it is.

Wow what a bunch of losers you all are if you're still complaining.
ONE person wins, meaning that they came out above all the others who entered the competition.
ONE person gets his/her own design for free.
Jagex can choose to make this costume cost runecoins or loyalty points, and there will be nothing wrong with it.
The complainers aren't even the ones who are trying to win, heck, they probably aren't even going to be entering a design. This free outfit is the reward for winning, along with the fact that the player will get credit for the use of his design.

Can we enter more than 1 design each? I have a couple ideas.

Also.. will drawing ability be counted against us? I'm not a very good artist. I'm actually a terrible artist...lol

So will the winners be based more on idea rather than our ability to draw it? (I saw that it said the design team would "whittle" it some anyways)

Hehe. Is this just a transparent way of outsourcing? I mean, let me make sure I've got this straight.. You're asking players to send in designs of an outfit that will be put into Solomon's General Store, which contains a number of items which can be purchased using Runecoins; which are primarily obtained using real-life currency.. And a handful of items which can also be bought using loyalty points at a greater, and inflated price, but without having to spend real-life currency on them..

The competition winner from what I understand gets their outfit free, but since Jagex owns your work afterward, they continue to make bank out of the outfit. Rarely any new items in the General Store are ever made available for purchase with both Runecoins and loyalty points. So essentially, you get thrown a very light and hollow bone upon winning, and Jagex (you're out of the picture at this point) gets to profit from your work whenever somebody buys some Runecoins to get that outfit.

That's been my understanding of the little contest and situation so far. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not an artist and I won't be submitting a design. But, I believe the prizes should be better. Having your own design brought into the game is really cool, and you get the outfit for free. I think there should be a little bit more though, and I would hope that in the Solomon's store, the description of the outfit will have "Created by (artists's name)." And as for the runner-ups, I think they deserve the free outfit too for their hard work.

Good luck to everyone! :)

Dromatrix .. people don't have to submit their design if they aren't okay with Jagex having rights of it.. That's why they mentioned that part afterwards. It's the same as any other game that has had competitions like this. It's also kind of like how players designed the characters before for the quest.

Player designed outfits are an awesome idea. Just having your outfit in-game is more than enough of a reward. Especially when you get it for free ;)

sees mod that reads forums and makes walk throughs/edits rs w*ki
Mod Michelle please update the wiki for eoc and do some casting/commentary. It says:
The above stats were listed prior to an Evolution of Combat update and may be incorrect. Please update them using Template:Equipmenttable. Please leave this template in place if you do not have the correct stats so other users may track items like these.
I think I shall go watch youtube for synopsis and other helpsite for spoilers since some of the quests here don't even have them.

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to see the kinds of outfits people have made. Too bad I won't be participating as I can't draw in the slightest :p My stick figures are pretty epic though, if I must say ^.^
