Those of you who still have access to, and visit, the Runescape Classic forums (IE: Myself, and two of you) have known for a while now about a movement going on to get recognition for Runescape Classic players in Runescape 2.

 

 

 

The project went under numerous ideas; titles on the forums, a crown, and finally a cape.

 

 

 

Here's my idea, which has gotten quite a bit of support:

 

 

 

My dream goes like this:

 

 

 

The cape transforms you into a Runescape Classic avatar, wearing nothing but the default clothes and a black partyhat. You can walk around and chat, but nothing else. Combat removes the cape effect.

 

 

 

This way, all Jagex really has to do is port the animations, models, and textures over, and maybe palette swipe one of the existing skill capes with a new picture.

 

 

 

And just a few days ago, we received a message on the thread by Runescape Classic's curator, Mod Emilee.

 

 

 

Just to let you know, I have forwarded this idea to the Content Development Team.

 

 

 

Although I don't believe it would be feasible to introduce a cape, I think that a reference to RSC (whether it would feature in a quest or cutscene) would be awesome.

 

 

 

I can't wait to see what this will turn out to be. Any ideas or suggestions (I'll throw them in the rsof thread if you don't have access)?

That would be flipin' awesome!

 

I love visiting the old RSC sever and roaming (not running lol) around

 

 

 

Too bad all my skills are back to level 1... :wall:

What do you mean in your post that you still have access to the RuneScape Classic Forums? I don't see them on my Forum List and I can still access and play RuneScape Classic.

The reference/cutscene sounds cool, but that cape idea sounds terrible.

Hate the cape, love the cameo. Especially since I can still access RSC. :D

RSC is dead, I don't see why people keep on pursuing it. It's the community you all long for, and with RuneScape's community all you're going to get is a faint memory of an outdated game. I honestly hope that the dev team spends their time more wisely than this.

It sounds like your parents never took pictures and video-taped you as a child/baby. So you wouldn't know how special a memory could be. We don't long to play RSC full-time again, but to cherish the time that we did play it.

Thank you for summing up everything I was going to say.

 

 

 

Seriously, it just seems stupid that you need recognition just for playing a crappy version of the game we all play now.

Lol? You're comparing memories of your actual life to memories of a game? Terrible analogy.

He's comparing his memories of his actual life to those of his actual life that include RuneScape.

 

 

 

Even though I was never able to play RSC this is a great idea.

There's something wrong with having fond memories of a game? I sincerely hope I'm not the only one with good memories of pokemon...

 

 

 

Jagex have evidently paid a LOT of attention to the history and lore of runescape, it makes no sense to not include classic references in the main game.

Awesome. High level pixel-midgets who kind of resemble Lego pieces.

Why do you need new game content to remember what was? If you want memories, share your pictures amongst others, discuss events that stood out to yourself, look at some vids, etc. If you're one of the few with a RSC account you can even go right back on. Admittedly I have a RSC account and to me it seems like a barren wasteland with a community currently not much better than RS2's.

 

 

 

I have baby pictures, but I don't have to put on diapers and jump into a baby carriage to remember the time.

it's different obviously you didnt play classic enough to remember it that well so much was better in classic, to play classic im guessing you played with a rattle, because if you didnt find it fun then ugh, jagex updated runescape for better looks and the java they use now is easier to code so more updates, so from a business perspective and for pure aesthetics it's why they did the change.

philip kolar is arguing for the sake of it, philip do yourself a favour and stay out of the thread.

 

 

 

I think some sort of a homage to rsc is a great idea, hope to see it implemented in some way soon.

I was never big on RSC, you're right there.

 

 

 

There's nothing to suggest that if Jagex didn't updated RuneScape that the good times wouldn't stop rolling. Why would the community not change if RS2 was not released? Miniclip would still take it's toll on the game's maturity but the only exception would be less players due to a very graphically un-appeasing game. It's the majority that fuels Jagex's pockets, it's Jagex's pockets that fuel frequent updates and it's frequent updates that fuel the RuneScape we know today - one countless times more successful than RSC.

 

Just like trade restrictions, people may not have liked the shift but it was all for the best.

Do I know you? Honestly, don't start a flame war for no reason and don't make a fool of yourself. If you disagree with me, discuss it. That's what this board is for.

Black partyhat for RSC players ftw lol.

It does sound awesome, but I would have to take off my precious shiny helm of Neitiznot, and I love my helm. Still... Black partyhat...

A simple emote would be pretty nice too.

 

 

 

You sit down on the floor and "dream". Zzzz appears above your head like the lunar spell and then a bubble appears above your head with a little RSC character in it. The bubble pops and then you stand back up to normal.

So long as you don't need a Captcha to stand back up, that sounds good.

I only logged in once to rs classic when I was a f2p player all those years ago.

 

Found the normal rs graphics better so I never touched classic after that.

 

 

 

I like the idea of an emote. :mrgreen:

Black partyhat never existed, it's a myth.

Classic cape with awesome bonuses would be immense ;)

I really like this idea, preferring it to the cape concept.

 

 

 

I really don't see what the problem is with paying homage to the oringal game. Even if it's just a sort of recognition as to how far Runescape has come since the good ol' days.

 

Although first starting this game (2005ish) long after RS2 was released, I can sympathise with the players that just want something to reminisce RSC over, as I've recently found myself, for some reason, having a desperate and frustrating nostalgia for some 'old school' games from my younger days - esp. Majora's Mask & Perfect Dark. :lol:

Well done sherlock.

Bring back the "Black Hole Experience"? It'll be just as pointless as it ever was, existing just to fulfil the curiosity of the masses just like in the old days. Or how about an optional 'cabbage' filter? A Guard saying "Hey! No fighting!" as part of a quest?
