[...] Clearly the forums weren't read often then. These forums are *FILLED* with retro requests and people(myself included) have voiced want for retro items at player council meetings with positive group reactions.


Sadly, that is often the case - yet few threads addressing the issue ever receive their attention, if not their notice. In fact, in order to ensure that it was reiterated, the original question proposed was:

Is there a particular reason why we have not seen retro armour set continuations lately? The Soloman's General Store forum is often filled with request threads (the most common being retro white/initiate/proselyte armours, retro Castle Wars armours, the retro kiln cape, retro gilded rune, the retro slayer helm, et cetera), but no plans for new retro sets appear to be on the priority list (despite the apparent consumer interest).


As you said:

My hope is that, in taking a straightforward approach which addresses the response offered to us, progress may be made. :)

I would think this year, if any, would present the greatest opportunity for them to expand on the currently offered selection of retro items - given the course and nature of the 15th Anniversary celebrations.

Even having NPCs where you could ask them to change the way an item looks a retro verison of it would be good...

Could be like the Retro Skillcapes option but with Quest NPCs/shopkeepers (like the monkey that sells d scim) and maybe even some strange Vic like character that could show up outside bossing/slayer areas and give the option to retro override those armors/weapons


Either way, they should atleast do a retro Dragon weapon set (since that was one of the more hated graphical updates on weaponry in the game)

Would love to have the original badass looking Dragon longsword back so I can have drygore stats with it ;)

SUPPORT!

As much as I'd love to actually have NPCs to turn them from the new style to the old style and vice versa, I don't see that happening as if they actually had the motivation to release old styles it would only be for the sake of selling them to the players.. so the store is the only place they're going to, unfortunately.

Anytime I wear the replica plate armors usually rune or adamant, people follow me and they're like woooooah how you get that armor??????? Don't really see that effect with generic newer stuff. The fact people are shocked and awed by it they constantly ask, would show those specific things appeal to a chunk of folks.

I'm kinda surprised they would hold off on making more nostalgia old style items since this game kinda runs and draws off nostalgia for a bunch of players. So yes make more of them please.
