We like the spooky spider outfit, Jagex loves our money, WIN-WIN

Tell that to the ppl who wanted holiday items in sgs ;)

Yeah because spooky spider is totally a holiday item and not a runecoins promo :|

With the precedent that the Spooky Spider Outfit was a runecoin promo - it seems perfectly fair for the outfit to become available for purchase again for a limited time, seasonally, every year.

TFW none of the rc promos have ever been rereleased...

So why should this one be an exception? :@

They are both limited timed things. I mean if they werent, this thread wouldnt exist now would it?

So plz tell me, based on that fact alone how they are different?...

What most people are getting at is if the Spooky Spider Outfit is something that needs to remain limited.
Most here would argue that it shouldn't be limited .

The Spooky Spider Outfit is a cosmetic that was available for purchase by anyone who had real life money for a runecoin package; not bonds, or in-game play, or any other ways of obtaining.

So logically, if there's a demand for customers that want to PAY JAGEX for a cosmetic outfit that was only obtainable by PAYING JAGEX, it makes sense on both ends ( Jagex & Runescape Players ) to bring that back haha.
There really isn't an issue of devaluing for a large majority of the player-base for this outfit in particular .

With all the discussion based around this outfit, it would be a good idea for Jagex to consider if more runecoin promos should be re-released in the future.

Not really as what would be the point in buying it the first time if they'll just rerelease it in the future?

I mean im pretty sure some ppl have stopped buying into the skilling outfit promos due to this.

Also you might as well rerelease /s vip items/outfits at this point too so ppl who missed those can have a chance.

Sarcasm is strong in the above sentence.

The difference between something like a skilling outfit promotion & this one in particular, is that the Spooky Spider Outfit has no direct impact on gameplay - it's purely cosmetic.
The point in buying it the first time would be to actually wear and enjoy the outfit.
That's the point of buying a purely cosmetic soloman's outfit haha.

Also the topic of skilling outfits are an entirely different discussion because of their impact on gameplay through XP bonuses.

+ to also show you were around and bothered to buy it when it was released.

There's a lot of items already in place (such as Crowns of Loyalty & 5/10/15 Veteran Capes) to already show you were around.
Does the community really need a Spooky Spider Outfit to be a determining factor in how long you were around?
