A Dangerous Precedent

Rob, I empathize with you. I really do.
Sadly promises can't be kept if the people who promised them are no longer around.
Could it have been handled better? Certainly, but in the end, every company has to move on from the past and look toward the future, whether the player base wants them to or not.
I understand you feel you were wronged, however you also have to understand that time investment does not entitle you to change how a company works. Unless you are a shareholder, or someone of influence within the company.
Time and money spent on something, unfortunately do not allow you to change how that specific thing works, sadly. It's unfortunate but that's just how it is.
Off-Topic: If you have an issue with a certain someone the best thing to do is not respond to them and avoid post count inflation. Certain someone's can cause issues within threads and end up derailing them. Just a friendly reminder

The least Jagex could have done was allow the players who have held onto their holiday items for all these years to bring them to a newer version of the game.
Those items were essentially the only uncorrupted items left after so many years of neglect by Jagex.
I can understand them not willing to transfer XP or resources that were potentially botted, but holiday items were the only items left in the game that had actual value.
I say this not for personal gain, because I gave away all of my holiday items on the last day to people who hadn't had the chance to ever enjoy wearing them; I went to the void with only my green hat, which I don't need as I have them on all of the other versions of the game.
But, I feel for players that have been around all this time that literally got NOTHING from this. They couldn't even keep the items they picked up 17 years ago.
