This sounds like a great Idea. Maybe maybe not a cape but definitely a reference to it.

Black partyhat never existed, it's a myth.

Well done sherlock.

 

I was just pointing it out because there's still some people that believe they actually did exist, no matter how stupid it sounds.

Glad to see the support for one idea or another, to be honest when I started writing this I thought the general response would be "RSC is dead, get over it", glad to see i was wrong.

 

 

 

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 Runescape Classic forums are still alive, but only available to those who signed a sticky a few years ago and was shut down to the public (Too many spam posts by idiots going "lol dmed isn't 8 mil" in the marketplace forums, and "omg how i get into rsc?" and "rsc graphx sux").

 

 

 

If you can still access Runescape Classic, make a thread in the Forum Feedback section, telling them you want access to the forums. Note that your posting history and activity in Classic will be taken into account when deciding to give you access (Don't ask, no idea why).

If that some people is me, I know they don't exist. It's a nod to when people thought Andrew Gower made only one for himself.

 

 

 

quote="Philip_kolar"]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 It's the community you all long for, and with RuneScape's community all you're going to get is a faint memory of an outdated game.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.

 

 

 

You know that's odd. For a game that's dead, we had a Jagex Moderator (Mod Dave) who, for the few years until he retired), continued to ban bots, hold public events (with drop parties), and interact with the community. Now we have Mod Emilee who pops in every now and then to give us any news, and even pass on our feedback to the content teams.

You don't have to take things so offensively (and I do direct this more so to other users), I don't mean things to start flame wars when I post my opinion, I'm just the extremely stubborn type that will push their opinion. This is, after all, a discussion forum.

 

 

 

As for the mods, I didn't know about that, put just having one mod in a game who's predecessor game has hundreds (I believe it's in the hundreds now) doesn't qualify the game as alive. The game has been cut off from new players for years now and hasn't received anything near an update. If you still play this game and enjoy it, that's great, but I just don't see how it could be qualified as anything but dead.

 

 

 

Another reason that I don't think it'd be appropriate to have your idea implemented is the graphics would clash. Can you imagine seeing a flat RSC picture in RS2 HD? It'd be visually un-appeasing and in the long run, that can take from the game.

I like the idea of paying homage to rsc as the 5 years anniversary of rs2 draws closer. I don't like the idea of a cape, though. A lot of the players who have played this game for a long enough time to get this cape are going to have both more useful and more impressive items for their cape slot. (Seriously, a cooking cape is more impressive than a "I registerred long ago" -cape.) Something like an emote at least wouldn't just rot in the bank.

 

 

 

My idea for a rsc emote would be one in which the character changed to a rsc character in 2-3 seconds starting from the toes. After the head had changed there would be a 1-2 second pause and then a pink partyhat would appear on the head and confetti would shoot from the sky. (I really don't understand the idea of a black partyhat.) That way the need to import a lot of animations wouldn't be there. I guess the character could do something else than just stand there. It could grow a beard during the pause before the partyhat and do the old dance emote at the confetti part, but that would again require more models and an animation.

 

 

 

I came up with the emote as I went along, but the point is that a cape that no one uses is :thumbdown: .

The cape has gotten the grand majority of support on the actual Classic forums, so it seems the people who would actually get it (IE: Those with access to rsc and the forums) would indeed use it.

The graphics wouldn't "clash", it's a homage to the 2d avatars, and those avatars wouldn't have HD textures. It wouldn't look any different than Runescape Classic, which was again 2d avatars in a 3d world.

 

 

 

But yes, let's hinder an idea supported by the classic community, because people who probably never even played classic would find it "visually unappeasing", and think it would take from the game in the long run, whatever that's supposed to mean.

bugs me that i cant log into classic means i cant get the purty hat, hope they make exception if your accounts old enough or if you own ears or scythe you can get it :P

I've been around quite a while, so I for one am definitely supporting this idea.

 

 

 

I do agree though, that transforming into a RSC 2D avatar in RS2 would look a bit out of place, and honestly, give the maturity of a lot of the community, I think that would turn into a lot of "bug reports" for jagex.

 

 

 

I like the cape idea, I think that if you WANT to reminisce about the good ole days, then putting on a cape is not a huge hassle.

 

 

 

I also think the idea I have read and liked best so far is Mercifull's idea of sitting down and a bubble appearing above your head. Maybe rather then just an RSC player, a few different things appear, mayeb a player in melee gear, then a player in range gear, then a player in mage gear? Show each of the 3 classes as it was back then (though it wasn't really 3 separate classes). Maybe each of the 3 characters shows for 1 second, for a total of 3 seconds.

 

Just trying to elaborate on an idea that I like. I don't agree with the Phat avatars though. They were just as rare in parts of RSC as they are now.

There was no range gear in Rsc, just a (cross)bow. everyone used full rune with a Bow. (you couldn't range in combat so most people also took a R2H, the same counts for Mage gear, although there was a mage gear, just that everyone used mage in combination with full rune a weapon (you could actually mage and melee at the same time)

I have a few ideas Omali if you want to post them on RSC forum.

 

 

 

First idea is a simple picture kind of like photos of your great great grandparents portrait that hangs inside your Player owned house there could be a few to chose from. These could be bought from a NPC. The portrait could be viewed upon which you could see a still frame from RSC classic.

 

Maybe pictures of famous clan wars, someone fighting the old KBD, the way that one of the castle's used to look like...You get the idea.

 

 

 

Second idea is a room in the Varrock museum that would be dedicated to RSC with pictures to look at and it would contain a RSC experience that you could enter. Upon entering you would be transformed into a RSC like place a small village made up with a few buildings, a couple of things to attack, and some weapons and armor to put on all using the RSC interface.

 

 

 

Third idea is book that you could get from the Library in Varrock or where ever and that would show you pictures of RSC. Maybe 15 pages or so of pictures and explanations of things RSC.

 

 

 

Please feel free to pass my ideas on. I feel these things are all relatively easy to add into the game and would provide a nice nostalgic feeling for all of us who played classic.

rsc is dead :P

 

 

 

Wrong, some of us do actually play it seriously/for fun.

 

 

 

OT i think think the emote is an excellent idea!

 

or how about an option to have the old bubble above your head for an action?

Would be cool to have a cape with emote.

Although I never played classic, I did play a game a few years back which had the servers closed (Monster Hunter) so I think I can relate to losing a game along with the community. I think that some reference to classic would be not only nice for the players of classic but for all Runescape players to enjoy.

It's been long overdue to publicly recognize some of their oldest players with something like this.

 

 

 

I've missed the boat, since I no longer have access to RSC, but lots of my friends would love this!

I want something that Classic players can use, not some area that 10% of Runescape will use then whine that there's no good rewards. That's why I picked the cape, as opposed to a place or a reference only 2% of Runescape will understand.

 

 

 

I chose an item with an emote instead of just the emote knowing that the 99% who can't get into classic will not like an impossible to obtain emote in their list, so this is more obscure from the general public. And, to be honest, if I had a Runescape Classic cape, I'd wear it practically every day.

Being pretty selfish here but i played classic for 2 and a half years from 2002 right up until the 29-march-2004 release and i'd love for a classic cape is this a suggestion for only the people who play classic now get or for everyone who participated in classic, i payed my members there for 2 and a half years too so i think neglecting old scapers who can no longer long in isnt all that fair, i know a good 20-25 people with ears and sycthe who can no longer log in because they took a few months away from scape and came back and couldnt log in, if jagex announced they would lock all accounts on classic if you havent logged in then i would have logged in for sure.

 

 

 

It wouldnt be hard for jagex to find who played back then, all they'd have to do is sort by when the notepad documents were made, and cut off by march 04, since they are stored on notepad for its small file size.

I really like this idea. It would be awesome for my friends who can still log into RSC to be able to get a cape to show their long time commitment to this game.

 

 

 

I myself played RSC (Started end of 01) and my recovery questions are set for February 28, 2002 (which seems to be a universal date for people who set them before that). I would think there would be a way for Jagex to allow all people who played RSC to have access to the cape whether they can play RSC currently or not.

 

 

 

I agree with the cape + emote rather than just and emote, because I know all the questers/achievers out there want all the emotes and if there is one unattainable one then that would just aggrivate them.

 

 

 

peace,

 

Vann

 

 

 

P.S. I don't have ears/scythe because events were 1 day events back then and I spent easter with family and school + trick or treating on h'ween didn't allow time to play rs.

I just hate the fact of not being able to get it, since I've never played RSC.

 

A reference that everyone would be able to get sounds better to me, as does a normal emote in that case (no cape or cape+emote).

I played rsc on a different account but quit for 6 months with the coming of rs2... so i guess that means my new character will be left out... :?

:ohnoes: How about a simple update that uses items we already have? Just make it so that everyone who has an account old enough gets the bunny ears (trust me, you'll never wear the scythe). That way:

 

 

 

1.) All the people who missed the drop still get the item.

 

 

 

2.) No more posers who say they are old players but just "missed" it.

 

 

 

I don't think we need any additional items since we already have items carried over from RSC.

Seems your going to take whatever I say personally and steer it towards a flame war. So whatever, I'll skip formalities.

 

 

 

But yes, lets support an idea from the classic community, because the couple hundred (probably less than that) of players there NEED homage paid to themselves and the masses of millions of other paying customers don't deserve the dev team's attention instead.

 

Unless you didn't get that, I'm saying that the RS dev team should be complying to majorities, not minorities.

 

 

 

As for you not understanding what visually unappeasing means, visual is something seen by the eye and unappeasing means something that doesn't attract something. So basicly I'll dumb it down: RSC graphics in RS2HD would look yuck.

I think that's a great idea. It has all the effect of having a new cape/emote but more simple and easy to implement. I'd actually support this, and not just because I don't have bunny ears/[Caution: Jagex Rule Violation].

It wouldn't look natural, but neither does the ring of stone (which uses ore graphics from several years ago)

It's about Jagex recognizing who supported them before they were popular, paying homage to their roots. They've done everything else to put us out of the public view because Runescape 2 is filled with so many crybabies that the forums and game had to be removed from the main page so you'd need a half a brain to find them.

 

 

 

RS2 products didn't make Runescape, the Classic players did, and as Classic is nearing the end of its lifetime, it's about time Jagex remind the players the reason Runescape is what it is today. All the crybabies who think they have it so hard in the game, don't have any idea how it used to be.

Well aware, Just didn't really think about it before I posted. It has been quite some time since those days. I had my fair share of PKing (pretty much daily), and the Pheonix crossbow was the way to go.

 

 

 

I am definitely on board with the cape idea. It may not be something I wear daily, but I would definitely cherish it. I have played this game longer then 99% of the people here, so it is nice to remember back sometimes. I would honestly be happy even if it didn't have an emote, just a special cape to honor the players that helped runescape become what it is today would be nice.
