xavier_mo_mo Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 The very first thing I did when I became a member was buy a team 22 cape, it cost me 10k because I so wanted to get out of the dumb yellow F2P cape. But I suppose it was worth it because I have worn the kind of cape ever since then. The reason I wanted it so much is a team 22 cape is actully the cross of Saint Andrew. In other words the Scottish Flag. I have always wondered why it is there is the first place. I have thought to my self why hasn't any English complained about wanting a cape with the cross of Saint George. I am sure it's just like the other team capes with crosses on them. Just ramdom colours put together but maybe there is some one inside Jagex from Scotland. Who secretly slipped in the cape. :thumbsup: * Edit * Some people are replying saying there should be a cape for every country but o Jagex wouldn't make country capes. There would be alot of racism in Runescape if that happened like "I'm not trading with you, your English" or stuff like that. And they would need to make a cape for every single country in the world. That what be a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venichen1 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I think your right, there must be a Scottish Jagex staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I never noticed that before... I think maybe Jagex should consider creating new capes for each country? Although, I'd rather have a Union Jack instead of a St Andrews or St Georges cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbalking Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Haha, interesting :-k . This could be true. And as for us English complaining, can we settle for a 99 hp cape? :-w . That would be a brilliant update is we could all buy an item which represented our nation. Just think of all the colours : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieMcMe Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I noticed that on my first day of P2P! I call it a Scotland cape lol! But country / nation capes would cause alot of conflict.... It would be a bad idea, mybe the "Scotland" cape, was just a coincedince? Sig by me :D1337 total as of 3/2/08 at 14 : 52 GMT.

Honoured Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Interesting theory, I must say :-k. However, I would imagine that Jagex chose the basic design of two diagonal crosses through the cape, then just mixed and matched to get a wide variety of colours to individualise the Wilderness capes. But.. who knows? Maybe there is a Scottish Jagex Staff, which would be nice :). - Honoured :. Need A Question Answered About RuneScape? Message Me!

Revenga Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Think you'd be nice enough to post a picture? I don't remember what your talking about. I acually think country capes would be cool. Would they acually have to make one for every country or would they just do the major ones? I'm thinking since it's their game they can do whatever they want... Maybe continent capes would be easier, haha. Then again, it sorta ruins the RP aspects of the game. |Msg me me in-game | IrreIephant| ^ capital i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microvenator Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I hate to break it to you but our flag is a cross not a heart :lol: ... Well we could always reconcile the 99hp cape with this quote from Q. Elizabeth I: "I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman but I have the heart and stomach of a King and a King of England too" But I'm sure at least one of every nation's leaders has a memorable quote involving hearts and perhaps that's the best way to keep it, so that each person wearing their cape does so via a general symbol that means something to them. Of course I would love a lion and a unicorn cape, but the detail at that size would be mystifying :P I always wondered if the designer of the Team-5 cape was a fan of the popular TV show Bagpuss, but alas most probably an accident too.

hohto Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I think maybe Jagex should consider creating new capes for each country? According to Wikipedia there's Vatican+192 States that has been recognised by UN. Have fun adding around 200 capes for this game. Edit: However I wouldn't see it as an impossible task to give us better ways to modify capes. If we for example could add different colored stripes or crosses to the cape, many flags could be created that way. I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlanders Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 For every country in the world, that would be so many capes, can't be done.

Dragon_lord Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 How about a set of capes for the Gielinor kingdoms? Like a Faladorian cape, a Kandarinian cape, etc... I bet that would work.

In my eyes it would be just a waste of time to design them. I'd rather put a cape designer to the came and let people design their own capes with premade crosses, stripes, colors and symbols. That way racism could be avoided in some cases, many flags could be designed and clans would have more choices for their capes.
