And yea, My son gets everything he wants that is possible for him to have.

But on flip side, He has never once said "wait a minute" or took his time
when i asked him to feed the dogs or clean his room or take a bath or
whatever.

I dont make other peoples life hell doing it though.


Should items on a game cause a 70 page argument here on the game
forums? no. It really shouldnt.

How many of us are adults here? How many of us are ranting cause we
dont want the next generation of people playing to have what we
had?

I have stated in more than one post that I am torn over this subject.
Do I want everyone to have those bunny ears that I died over and over
trying to get when they were dropped in wildy? No. But I am also
an adult about things.. Is it hurting me for others to have this? Would
it really cause me to be unhappy in this game? If so then other things
probably would to, like a max cape, comp cape or a shadow dye.

But in the end, Jagex has made its stance clear. They wont be
rereleasing them.

But, have no fear, if the game keeps on, someday, some owner may
come along and like those bunny ears and say.. well dang its been
30 years lets re-release them.

Maybe by then all of the ones who remember when they first came
out will be gone.

Maybe I will end up winning that 750 mil lottery tonite and see if I
cant get a controlling interest in the game. One can always have dreams.

It's not really about wanting to torment people like that though, it's a happenstance in this case that newer players can't get their hands on untradeable discontinued items. The actual thing is that once you pick a requirement (or the lack of) that must be fulfilled to consider having earned something, it shouldn't be changed. (Of course elitists exist as well, but they'll exist no matter what, so throwing innocents under the bus wouldn't be worth it.)

RS3 picked that its holiday items would remain discontinued, while OSRS picked that its holiday items would remain always available to earn again. Both of these work and have their pros and cons, yet they only work properly as long as they aren't changed after having chosen one: if they were changed, the people who earned them under the first impression would be upset by it, and the people who earned them under the second impression could get deceived similarly to the first by the impression being changed over for the third time, because once you change it for the first time, people are going to treat it to be changeable again in the future.

And while you might not be personally affected by it here, once you encourage the company to sell out changes like that once, what do you think they're going to do with other matters which also concern you?

I'd rather kids grow spoiled and happy than old and selfish and rotten like you. Putting value on something that doesn't make any difference to you just to prevent people from getting something in a game.


Once again, why should items that serve no real purpose be rereleased?

Seems like a waste of dev time IMO.

I mean you make it seem like the ppl who will be getting them will actually use them moreso than the ppl who have them now.

I can say for near 100% certainty that wont be the case as why would they?

Why should items that don't do anything for you be treated as rarities? What does that do for you?

The people who own them dont use them, but they would be more inclined to use them more, when they see people who would newly own them using them. What does that do against you?

Again it does not matter what any of us think.

Look at all the other things that we have complained about over the years.

Jagex does what IT wants to do not what we want it to do.

they have stated their stance on Re releasing holiday items.

As that is their decision it does not matter what I think, you think or
anyone else on this forum thinks.. its been decided .

They also decided fletching was members only since it's release, until people brought it up on the forums this past year or 2. People complained that it should remain a members skill, like Blackwing says first impressions matter most, but Jagex did change that to f2p as it made sense to do so.

Again, this whole thread came from Jagex's request in a poll. Which passed. This very well can change at any time. It wouldn't be the first time they said a holiday item would never come back, and do it still.

Were any of us actually offended when the snow globe came back? If so, why?

Once again, even if ppl had at chance at them again, theyd more than likely collect dust as well for them thus nothing changes besides more ppl having them and clogging up more server space.

Yet the feedback from said polls say otherwise.

Like how you keep forgetting those very important parts.

Also ppl didn't like it when they rereleased globe or ammy.

So I don't think jagex should be making them same mistakes over and over.

There are only a few of us going back and forth on this thread.

if 200 people then 300 people then 400 and so on started posting on
this one thread (will never happen as the is the RSOF), then maybe
Jagex would go back and look at its stance.

As it is now. There are no plans to Re Release Christmas and Halloween
items. Those 2 were the ones mentioned.

Maybe let this thread die for a while then bring it back up in a year, and
see what people think then.

As I said, the few posting on this have run it to death and Jagex has
already put its stance out.
