Agreed 100% support!


Suggestions:

Replica Slayer helmet
,
Dragon claws
, Staff of armadyl,
gods range armour sets
and maybe trimmed (bronze, iron, steel....etc) armours?


Loved the idea to be honest, hopefully they take it under consideration with the enough amount of supporters. :D

Support, fashionscape and nostalgia consumes me!

God rune armour sets
Retro Gilded rune (with the addition of boots and gloves)
Enchanted robes set < These with a Black Cav used be my jam back in 2006
The infamous Abby Whip
Barbarian Assault gear
Ancient Staff
Mystic robes sets (Dark, Light, Blue)
Retro D hide sets
Dragon Med helm
Black Elite
Slayer Helmets
Heraldic gear
Fremmy helmets
Dragon Weapons
Dragon SQ Shield
The old Godsword wielding animation, (is this even possible?)
Obby Shield

THEN they can be DONE. :P

Honestly I wish there was a way to have retro character model, the armor/weapons just dont fit well on the new models, especially with helm/cape proportions looking absolutely bizarre, not to mention boots dont flair out and are seeming tucked and unmatching with possible boot extensions on legs, and sometimes similar with glove/torsos.

I defiantly dont want them to have to work on everything twice in order to have 2 character models, but maybe somehow restricting it to only having retro over-rides (and hair styles) obviously not allowed in wild.

I feel like there would be plenty of glitches also though... with new quest animations or something.. Fight for
Ironman
&
Treasure Hunter
! It will save staff develpment time & future issues! To work on real decent content.

I don't think Jagex is going to really see or read my post in this thread, so I'll post my idea here and just make a new thread on it.

Right now in SGS there's a preview for the Retro Metallic Set and it shows a very different picture than what you get. I wanted what the preview showed - the HD graphics armor with the visored full helm and smoothed-out armor.

So what I ended up getting is the blocky armor you see on OSRS. What Jagex doesn't realize is there is an era where our armor looked different pre-EoC, but post-OSRS. Same with slayer monsters, but this isn't the right thread for it so I'll make a new one for that suggestion.

If anyone is unsure what armor I'm talking about, just look at that preview or watch some youtube videos of the GE during this time period you'll see the awesome knightly-looking HD helms and remember. :)

I support because I know that people want them, but not me in particular.

However, I do think it would help to specify what retro-items you guys want, specifically, bc right now it's just "we want retro items" but there's literally hundreds of them, and I think that it would take a bit of time to incorporate them. :P

Update:

Another player asked a similar question to the most recent VIP Q&A; Mod Kalaya offered this response to the query:

Mod Kalaya said :
Is there any update we can get on releasing more retro items to the store yet?


Mod Kalaya: We don’t have any plans for additional retro items at the moment, but we’re very aware of how much players like them and will always keep that in mind! With the Utmost Sincerity, Respect, and Integrity,

Put it to the player vote! Surely it wouldn't take much resources to make more retro stuff?

Mod Krista's answer from the last Q & A

@Alexander247
Q - When you will release more Retroarmour-overrides? The demand is really high
A - It's really surprising how much work these are to do, especially as everyone know what they should look like in their heads, and we have to make sure they're perfect.
We're aware that people really love these though, so always in the back of our minds.
