Hi Jagex,

Ok, I looked the items over in shop and after some further thought I think I see where your coming from. I still think that some things like emotes (su*bathe, valentines day, etc.) should be added to the emote section that has lain dormant for some time.

As for this keepsake thing... I don't know... I haven't *othered with it for a few reasons so I can't comment on something I know next to nothing about.

Anyway... I hope you note my suggestion.

Now, those Guthix emotes... ! Nice job ! I'd like to have both teleports but money only goes so far... ugh... sooo many choices... ah... if I got the "coin" meeebeee... =)

As always... be safe... have fun

/s/

Quite frankly anybody who bought the gold membership just for the items is a laughing stock. I mean, come on was the fact that you got over twice the amount you paid for in everything else not a factor or something?


I didn't buy the Gold Premier Package, i'm mad too. Know' why? Because I bought it when it was in its' first limited edition sale.

1) Selling it with 3 month memberships
2) Selling it with the Gold Premier Package
3) Selling it on Soloman's General store (now)

I am extremely mad, but it's not like Jagex checks any posts after page 3 anyways. I just want to say that you're wrong for assuming that all of the people here are mad over just the premier club. Additionally it's important to note the items we own are inferior to the Soloman's store items. We have actual items that take up the head piece while Soloman's flaming helmet is an override which puts our money to shame, only to leave our head down knowing we just got scammed by master con artists.


I've already addressed my concerns with the overrides. As for the game card... well let's see: $22.50 for a 3 month card with a free cosmetic item, versus $21.95 for a 3 month package and no item. You remind me of a typical encounter in customer service. Getting THIS indignant over 55 cents certainly isn't going to help. Especially when the superior item costs a few times more than that anyway (shocking I know).

One more thing, PLENTY of people here are whining about how they bought the gold membership for the items, but then it's not like you checked any posts after page three anyway.

Try to remember these items have been out for a fair old length of time; if you have the equippable versions from their initial release then you've had all that time to look elite and well ahead of the pack. :)

As far as giving out free overrides to those who already possess the originals - its a nice idea but I'm not sure how complicated that process would be or if it's even possible. I'll note it down though** :) ***;


ph1: so on that basis everyone has had their time to enjoy every freaking holiday item, now the rest of the pack should get a turn, same thing really.

ph2: the only reason why you are saying its complicated is so those of us that already own the items, go shell out more money to you (jagex) to get the over ride versions. and its as complicated as you telling us that Old School RS would take months for it to be released only to have it released during the 1st week of the poll (which was another pay to say scheme, shame on your greediness ways) as complicated as telling real players from bots

wow buy premier club membership only for the 2nd hand cosmo exclusives to be released in solomons, whats next the paladin over ride as well? at this rate just re-release party hats, santa hats, h'ween mask and every other past holiday item as an over ride in solomons as well.

want to use some cleets next time you kick your self in the -butt-? yay great idea to apease everyone but you betrayed those that had their own uniqueness


I think you missed the Dark Version of the paladin outfit that they marketed shortly after the premier pack. I was ****** as it was the exact same but with dark lines.

I have every single shadow item but was slightly ****** because I spent some hard earned real life money to buy the gold premier membership only to have that happen (where are those betas Jagex was talking about?)

Oh no you've exploited something I didn't say! How dare you ;)
I don't think I ever said anything at all about getting mad over 55 cents, did I?
I can't find that, and like all the replies and pages, I read them carefully; yourself?
Here's my post again in case you want to read it, hell if you even read the first sentence of my post you'd know why I was mad!

"I didn't buy the Gold Premier Package, i'm mad too. Know' why? Because I bought it when it was in its' first limited edition sale."

The point of the matter is they promised us limited edition items or, better yet exclusive, they powdered these things so heavily to made us think that there wouldn't be another chance to get these. They use manipulative marketing tactics which in honestly is just completely wrong and I'm not supporting of them. You acclaimed to us being mad over cost, where that may be hard to understand as how ambiguous we so desperately try to say things like 'limited edition' and 'exclusive'. /scarcasm

Edit: **** wait! I meant to say 55 cents not 50 cents! Gosh i'm so unclear aren't I?

Really, "if it's even possible"? I'm sure your tech team could figure out how to run a check for which players have the items stored in Diango or in their bank, then simply give those players free vouchers for the cosmetic overrides in the store. Doesn't sound that impossible to me. Please do this...

I'm really upset & disappointed like the majority of people who've already posted on this thread. I feel lied to and cheated into buying the Premier Gold Membership with these items listed as exclusive, thinking it'd be the last chance I could get them. And now some are available permanently as BETTER cosmetic overrides which I would have to PAY for AGAIN (the full amount) in order to get? Can't even imagine how the people who obtained these items through the gamecard promotions feel... They got doubly slapped in the face. :(

PLEASE look into compromising for those who already obtained these items. I'd really love to have cosmetic override versions, but I will not pay even more again just for that feature when I already have the items rotting in storage.

EDIT: Just had another thing to add: Another option to compromise would be modifying the item itself to have the ability to convert it into the customization interface (through a right-click menu, perhaps?). I'm sure you guys are already working on how to do this, considering a similar process would have to be done to add any in-game pets into the interface (which you promised months ago). Obviously it's already possible to unlock an override in-game as was proven during the recent Tribute to Guthix event, where we just clicked a button and the Sword of Edicts was unlocked. I'm not falling for this 'sounds too complicated' bull poop.

@Bitesize i dont feel like i got slapped in the face twice...i feel like i got slapped in the face with a steam roller, with 2ft spikes...

now as i've said in my post (2 above Bitesize) if your going to release these items in solomans on the basis that those of us who already had them before had enough time to enjoy being ahead of the pack, release every rare in solomans Since A:some had 11 years to enjoy being ahead of the pack & B: since you guys want more money release every single exclusive as an over ride from Holiday items to special themed events.

Long ago when Keepsake keys first came out I asked the mods on here whether they will make it so we could change our flaming skull colours while they were keepsaked. A mod had answered that he would look into it. Now we end up with a solution that made us waste money on a keepsake key AND expect us to pay extra for the cosmetic override. Talk about ass hat move guys. You just hit a new low.

So jagex, I'm going to wait on the release of the following items on Soloman's store:

Bunny Ears
Scythe
Party Hats
Santa Hats
Golden Scythe (Those 25 people who have it, being the rarest item)
Paladin Armor
Halloween masks
Yo-yos
Rubber chickens
Scarves and Hats
Skeletal, Jackolanern and Reindeer clothing
Santa Outfit


And the following pets:
Sparkles
Mackers
Corgi


Yeah thanks I expect to see them there tomorrow k?
They had 10 years to look elite in party hats before us, so yeah by your logic give us a party hat override

lol. Real answer: They are afraid of loosing too many members if they did that, but aren't against a small community of their supporters hating them.
