Dear Jagex & Old School Community,

I have been playing this game a long time, nobody likes new content being aimed at any one specific community. For this reason, I am suggesting a new system that can apply to all of us instead of a skill. This system will bring all communities into a big unified family.

OLD SCHOOL ACCOUNT PRESTIGE:

This system is designed to bring into the game a new way of playing the various different account builds over time without ruining accounts. When considering this as an option, you never lose combat achievements, boss kill count, and collection log items. Those are tied directly to the account.

When reaching a Jagex defined milestone of experience, skill total, or high score milestone you will be offered the ability to prestige.

Prestige Options:

1. Prestige a Skill. (Experience only)

2. Prestige all skills & keep all unlocks & traceable item progress

3. Honorably FULLY RESET your experience, quests, achievement diaries, music, emotes, and all items in your inventory, gear slots, bank slots, player owned house slots, death chest slots, and clue storage slots.

Prestige Rewards by prestige option:

1. Prestige Cape

2. Prestige Cape + ornament kit + ability to keep one mastered skill & keep all items & unlocks (Ex. 99 construction + all level 1 skills with 10 hit points. (Keep all unlocks only skill reset)

3. Honorably Prestige ornament kit untradeable + Prestige Cape + Ability to change account archetype (Normal, Iron Man, Hard Core, Ultimate) + Ability to keep one of the following:

- Keep Skill
- Keep All Quests & Favor
- Keep All Achievements & Music
- Keep current player owned house

I believe this opens up many possibilities and refreshes that old content for experienced players. I also think this is an item sink of epic proportions.

I even think this could replace a new skill for quite some time. Lets discuss!!!

Thanks,

You say it would make the game great again, but in fact, this would do nothing but encourage scamming. Skills was what made the game great in the first place and when jagex forgot that, it ruined the game.

I understand your point of view. Jagex for a long time neglected numerous features and account securities that allowed for scamming to run rampant in the game. In terms of scamming though, the majority of accounts with all the features they have recently modernized will keep your account and banked items very very safe. It doesn't mean this won't need constant future attention no doubt. The other instances are mostly due to a lack of in game knowledge as a precursor to other players taking advantage of those without this knowledge.

Can you please elaborate on how this proposed system would encourage scamming? In order for a scam to occur, the player has to be fooled. I fail to see how my proposal would make people susceptible to this but I am open to your feedback. McCape

I certainly didn't think of that angle, I assume the same could be said for quest capes, achievement capes, infernal capes, music capes and max capes. Your point is very valid, but I think it is slightly dated for the current demographic of OSRS. Alot of the player base is older than when RS3 originally came out. Thats not a catch all statement obviously, but I think that kind of "trust" already is evident in the game and you can't eradicate it completely. McCape
