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.
For anyone wishing to enjoy the game for the long term, they surely should hope not that Jagex would always listen to masses like that, because when it comes to the core of the game such as the decision of having discontinued items or not, your enjoyment of the game could easily be ruined if Jagex was fine with making changes to them willy-nilly based on what a new mass says.

Because the fact of the matter is that even if you tried, you'll never agree with the majority all of the time, so when you disagree with them on something important to you, you'd better have some form of protection against the majority wanting to do whatever it pleases. This is also why I think the 75% threshold polling is much better than just 50%: sure, it'll be harder for you to get through what you want, but just as well it'll be harder for others to ruin what you already have.

I dont think Jagex will re release them. I really dont.

I was just hoping this thread would die cause I cant stop myself from
posting haha.

And I have admitted that my stance goes back and forth. And if it is
re released I think it should have a different examine like the year it
was recieved.

RS3 was never promised a vote that passes on anything ( i dont believe anyway)
Where as OSRS does vote on stuff to get it passed.

Im happy just playing the game. If you dont have an item then just go find
one that you do have, that you like.

Mainly, I just dont want to see them come out on Solomons. that would just
be wrong. The richest person is not who has the most. It is who Needs the least.

" I'll just agree to disagree with you there and leave it at that for now."

Ok i'll leave it be.


"If you desire something for its looks, an alternative version can satisfy you, because if you don't care about the social stigma (which you shouldn't if you truly desire the looks), it doesn't matter if there's a distinction between an original and an alternative version.
"
Not true. When i bought a laptop i wish i got the black rose gold colour instead of the silver colour i purchased. I couldn't afford it back then. Although i'm satisfied with my laptop in the sense i can use it, I still desire the rose gold laptop a lot and have thoughts of one day selling my laptop to pursue the colour i wanted. This i think is another good example of my statement - 'people want to own the exact item of whatever they desire, not an alternative '

Sure, giving me a blue coloured santa suit might make me happy. But i'm still going to ask for a green coloured santa suit that i always want


"2. If you desire something for its rarity, that desire is devalued if it's made easier to obtain, and in the case of untradeable discontinued items, recontinuing them makes their rarity go pretty much null and void. With untradeable discontinued items, desire for rarity cannot be satisfied."

People don't desire it for its rarity if they want to own it at the expense of making it less rare. They might go "hey i finally got another chance at owning this rare item. But they don't care if they make it less rare if it means they can own it


"3. If you desire something for memories, then you should already have what you desire; if you got banned on that account/otherwise lost access to it, then that's unfortunate, but difficult to satisfy without pissing off the others."

Memories don't stop the desire to reobtain it for satisfaction. If i had a toy as a child and i really wanted it. I'm probably gonna rebuy it even if its incredibly expensive.

The most logical thing to do would actually be to make them all tradeable, as then the owners could decide for themselves if they cared enough about the item to keep it for themselves, or gift it to the next generation/sell it to make a quick buck. But then you see, that would just create more problems in the Runescape economy from the huge influx of new discontinued rares.

Jagex made the right decision, speaking words of wisdom: Let it be!

After reading into it a bit, it says in the wiki the snow globe was released because it couldn't be "shown off" which is kinda misleading if you think spawning snow around you and having the ability to throw snowballs while others can't is not show worthy.

But under that same impression, you can say the Easter Ring cannot be shown off either, because all you can do is equip it to turn into an egg, no different than equipping snowballs being Not show worthy for the globe. So where is that rerelease?

ILL ASK AGAIN, who was offended by the snow globe release? If I don't get an actual answer, I'll assume nobody. Which kills the entire argument that any of you have, saying rereleasing any content is bad.

They made a tradable form of the rubber chicken by releasing rubber turkeys, and made a whacking Easter carrot, and a new version of the Santa hat, but those aren't complaint worthy probably because you people were happy to have new rares to trade. And a new item to hit people with. But how many of you supported them before they were released, and why? Why are they okay to you now?

Why is it okay for those to be remade and not simple clothes? Or are you all just hypocrites?

The most logical solution is to give people their choice in whether they want this old content or not. They dont have to sell it by Solomon's, but it is the best method if you dont want getting them to be cheap and easy.

It would take probably a substantial amount of membership to be able to purchase them all in Solomon's, but if you'd rather it not be a mtx transaction bait, they can sell it in game for gold.

Or rerelease them in an event replay portal. Do the events for the rewards.

Overall, I think it's just entitlement making you people fear rerelease, because you think yourselves special. And you dont want anybody having any way to get content that you have just so you can stay feeling special, even though you dont use it yourself.

You just want to brag like children. And dont care for any other players' opinions or desires.

Rubber Turkey, Black Santa Hat, etc have clear visual differences when compared to their original counterparts to the point it is almost impossible to confuse the two.

No one here is opposed to making modern remakes of items inspired by old holiday rares, just as long as they are distinct enough to tell them apart, which would probably be the case as graphics quality has improved in the after years of these items original release.

Want modern remakes? Go ahead, but don't mess with the originals. Out of respect for the historic legacy, the players themselves, and the artists and programmers who have moved on.

This may be an aside. But you're a disgrace asking for an item made for Vetrans of Runescape Classic. Your selfish arse wasn't there, it's the Runescape equivalent of false valor and you should be ashamed!

Rubber Turkey is hardly noticeably different from the chicken. Want modern remakes? Being made as replicas is a modern remake that Jagex has made many of before. You are asking them to only develop newly designed content for you.

You dont care that people want the original designs or versions.

You also skipped several questions.

Late edit, I dont care if i look like an ass to you for wanting people to have a choice. They didn't choose to miss the events and the events arent important content. The event died, it doesnt exist, it doesnt matter for anything about you anymore. The only thing the item does for you is trigger nostalgia, which would be done more if more people could give you more reason to use it yourself.

You look like an ass to me because you want to feel more special than them for doing dead content over a decade ago, just to brag in their face that they can't get it. That's selfish and I dont care for entitlement like that. I'd rather satisfy more people.
