When did they ever lie about never making these items available again? The T&C says they have the rights to give these items out again whenever they want to, so technically they never lied?

Yes, TECHNICALLY, they never lied. Anyone can get around anything with technicality and fine print. It's their game, they'll do what they will for some extra cash.

It's the fact that they label them as "exclusive" when they're not to get some quick cash from people that they wouldn't have spent otherwise.

Also the fact that people wasted money on keepsake keys for no reason now. Plus they're disposable (one use) so there should be compensation.
hey lol

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. :)



Okay, so with that logic we'll be seeing bunny ears and scythes in SGS soon?
hey lol

I get what your saying now, and agree with the keepsake key part. I know one person in game keepsake'd their flaming skull, but not anybody else.

I wish they would tell stupid solomon I already own The Professor hairstyle though. & maybe while their at it let me have the flaming skull re-skin for free, idc for the physical version any more. lol

It's a nice idea? Maybe it should have been thought of when you brought this update out in the first place. What about those of us who wasted keepsake keys on keepsaking the items, when it would have been cheaper to simply buy the new solomon version!

Well, you can always give people who already purchased them credits in SGS if it is too complicated to just unlock them. That way they can still get them at no cost.

Thank you for this Jagex! Missing out on limited edition stuff sucks, and to see you bringing it back as another way to support you is great. I know some people have their ******* in a bunch, but I own a couple such limiteds and am not bothered at all by the fact that the items I have may be buyable in the future. Its not always easy to go get a card between week X and week Y. Hope to see green skin as buyable soon.

i would have bought a blast from the past pack for like 1k runecoins if it had included old school emotes, especially dance/jig

edit: any way this is possible in the future?

Next time you release an item like the flaming skull and people thinking, like myself are buying it for it and keepsake, keepsake mostly... You put clearly next to it somewhere saying.. Could be released again in the future. Okay thanks, Later :| ...
