Support cuz it'll happen eventually. Either as tradeable items on TH, or overrides on SGS. I'd prefer 'em just to be overrides as I'm sure most that currently own the item(s) (could eventually happen to all discontinued items) would agree.

There would still be "prestige" in owning an original over a replica override, as obviously one would have "replica" in it's name when you examined another player wearing it as an override.

The lure of the cash grab by the investors (not necessarily Jagex staff) will get too stronk to resist, and they're the ones that actually call the shots.

Would you (the people opposing) rather them be released as actual items identical to originals via TH or just a replica override via SGS? Personally I'd rather see the latter, as this thread is suggesting.

The reason they brought back retro godswords and armour overrides and the like is because some people don't like the new armour looks and would rather have the old looks back, even if just as an override. These overrides do not have an impact on the actual item's value because the override can be used with anything.

In addition, people have paid hundreds of millions or even billions for those rares so they could keepsake them to go bossing, pvming, etc. with it as a part of their outfit, so to put them in Solomon's would probably insult those who had spent thousands of hours to earning money for those rares and would harm the rare item's value and make people quit the game over it.

It could also make scamming even easier by giving people access to the override of an expensive rare item that they can then use to trick people into thinking they're extremely rich and could make them rich too if they do what the scammer says.

TLDR: I do not support this idea, as I do not like the effect it would have on the game if they do this.
