Still thinking that this would be a better way of going about making the older rewards more accessible, by encouraging membership sales and discouraging MTX, and making people really think about what they want instead of wanting everything and seeing what sticks. > )

1. Introduce a new currency, let's say "holiday points" to give it a name.
2. For every year of membership that you've exhausted, you gain a holiday point.
3. During the respective holiday, once you've completed that year's version of the holiday event, you're able to buy alternate versions of that type of holiday's discontinued rewards with your holiday point(s).

I beg to differ. Veteran capes mean nothing when it comes to showing when you played. They only show how long ago an account was made, they don't show during which years you actually actively played.

This; account age and the historical values of discontinued items don't serve the same purpose, like explained above. The account age that veteran capes prove is also poorly designed, because you aren't required to play nor pay for the game to be eligible for them; you only have to progress enough in character creation, and the timer starts counting. Really the only part successful about the veteran capes is their graphical design.

And I say again, nobody has ever once made this comment in my many years of owning and using my own holiday items. Nobody gives a damn about what year you played for one week. It doesn't prove you to be an active player from those times. It shows you played for 20 minutes out of the year.

Only you seem to care about that. Only you seem to think it's important. And only you seem to think showing what week you played for 20 minutes matters towards anything or anybody. I don't respect artificial values being forced on things for the sole purpose of preventing future owners. I don't respect fake values that nobody can prove to be real. PERSONAL SENTIMENT cannot be lost by allowing cosmetics to be used by more people.

You are all entirely a selfish lot whom wouldn't even notice if they came back if there wasn't forum threads about it first. You wouldn't be affected by rereleases in the slightest.

And I love how they ignored the fact that, even if they came back as overrides, you'd still have your stupid bragging rights as yours are physical items from the time. But it's sad to see you are so damn selfish about your bragging that you have to separate the community with a "we were here first and are more important than you" attitude.

Just let people enjoy the damn game. Get over yourselves. You aren't special for playing Runescape. Your account And everything on it will be lost eventually anyway.

At least if they made a comeback, Jagex gets added revenue which might actually help the game survive longer. But some people don't consider the future of the game, only their own motives behind playing. Not worried about attracting players or benefiting the company, only what can be done for yourself.

Cosmetics that do not directly affect the game being made available is not harming anybody's reason for playing. If you quit over the fact that I could get a pair of bunny ears next year, you deserve to quit. That just shows you never actually cared about the actual game anyway.
