Say what you want, it would not look natural for the game. You said it yourself, it would be bringing low detail 2d avatar into a 3d high detail world.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

That is a matter of fixing. Jagex has declared this year for updating their game, so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw this changed some time soon. There is a difference between putting an old RS2 graphic into RS2HD and putting a RSC graphic in.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

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.

 

You know, it's almost as if you're asking for a tribute for playing a game. I think people need to come to their senses with this whole deal, supposed "elite" players looking down at other people just because those people didn't play the game when they did. These "RS2 Products" are people just as much as the ones who played classic and these generalizations are both ignorant and insulting.

 

 

 

That said, what have classic players really done? They played a game. Why on earth do we need to throw tributes to this? They built the foundation for what RS2 is today seems to be what you're getting at, but what about the "RS2 products"? If it weren't for these people who gave Jagex such a large player base it would be impossible for Jagex to receive the funds to make RuneScape what it is today.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

It's not about looking pretty, as any rsc player would know it's never been about looking pretty

 

Well it's time to step outside and smell the roses. Today people DO care about what looks good, I don't agree with it, I still play a 10+ year old online game called Infantry which is technically 2D, but over the years the player base has gone down directly in this game and graphics surely had a part in it. While your RSC values may hold true, I'm sorry to say this one just doesn't carry over to RS2. Not for the majority.

Tell me.

 

 

 

Is this "item" [in principle] any different than Bunny Ears or a Scythe? If it isn't [in principle], then why are you making such a big fuss about it?! Quit thinking about this in a we-need-recognition-for-playing-some-old-game tone, and look at it like a holiday item, in that a limited number of players would be able to participate/receive the item or benefit.

 

 

 

: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.

I'd like that. I really did miss that drop... :(

Big fuss? :? Since when is trying to discuss/debate something making a fuss? It seems every topic that's half controversial must be made both personal and full of flames.

 

The principle may be *similar* to holiday items, but I disagree with this one. The graphical perspective I believe I already mentioned. As for the proposal itself, it really seems like an item people just want to show-off, but not so much in the same sense as holiday items. If a cape like this came out, all I can imagine are players who've been playing for longer placing themselves above others in their distorted minds. I've looked at the current RSC community, and to be honest, I think I rather stick with the RS2 community. I'm trying not to generalise here, but that's how things are.

 

 

 

As for meili's idea, I think that'd be a nice update. The heat here must be getting to me because I could have sworn I said that in my last post. I suppose not. It finds a nice blend between the arguments here, it has all the perks of Omali's idea and there's nothing that could come bad from it.

So, would accounts made in rsc get it? Cause my account was made in rsc. I do not have access to it no more however. I feel all rsc created accounts should have an rsc cape/whatever.

It seems a lot like my bunny ears idea. Bunny ears are good, I wear mine always.

 

 

 

I am not opposed to the other ideas like the cape or emote either. I just pity those who could have gotten the bunny ears but missed because they were not playing when Jagex dropped them.

 

 

 

P.S. Jagex worked in UK/England time then so they only dropped bunny ears during the day, IIRC, their time so a lot of people missed it. For example, 2 pm in England is 6 am in California (not good at all).

YES!!!! I love bunneh ears and am really sad i missed them. I only ever get my scythe out at halloween. I would love to have them ^_^

Is there a way to check if your account was created in RSC or not, I can't remember if I made this one before RS2 was released.

Getting an emote where your character turns into a RSC character probably isn't feasible anyways. But would you be opposed to a RSC cape?

 

 

 

The only problem I have with bunny ears is some people have them already, so they would pretty much get nothing.

Is there a way to check if your account was created in RSC or not, I can't remember if I made this one before RS2 was released.

Answer is no but if you ask Jagex will tell you how many "days and hours you have played runescape" But that time only counts time spent playing the game not actual time since the character was created. They keep that information private for cases of hacked accounts so the true owner has a chance to get their account back.

 

There was no range gear in Rsc' date=' 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)[/quote']

 

 

 

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.

I guess im part of that 1% unless you started before Febuary 2001???

It seems a lot like my bunny ears idea. Bunny ears are good, I wear mine always.

i really support your idea, finally i could have some kind of proof that if have created my account in 2003 ^^

 

But what about the people who made their account after the bunny ears drop, but still played rsc?

YES!!!! I love bunneh ears and am really sad i missed them. I only ever get my scythe out at halloween. I would love to have them ^_^

 

 

 

I've been thinking that Jagex could allow re-doing the holiday events (for example, every Easter you could do all previous Easter events). Of course, you could only participate in a certain event if your account was made during or after the event. So, if for example someone created an account in January 2003, they could see the bunny ears that would be dropped during every Easter. But, if your account was created in, say, June 2003 you couldn't. This would be very useful if players missed a holiday event/drop due to time of the drop, broken computer, a break from RS or something, while it would keep holiday items as a symbol of an old account. Crackers, masks, etc. tradable holiday items would not be re-dropped.

 

 

 

What would you think of this?

 

 

 

(Although my sig says that I started playing RS in August '05, I made several accounts before that but I had no idea of what to do. I also played RSC for a short time in summer '05 while it was still F2P. 13th of August 2005 was the date I created my first account I really played on. I still play on that account. So I'm only a partial RS2 product :P)

How about a cape with the year of account creation on it?

 

Jagex could make it buyable from a npc for 100k, so at least some money would be taken out of the game ^^

 

I like the idea of cape with year of creation on it ^^

 

 

 

I'm not sure I agree that RSC players should have access to something that other people can't have (I am an early RSC player). What I do like is the reminder of how this game started. I think it would be awesome to have a 'flashback' to RSC in some kind of quest so that other people can see what it was like and also a nice chance to see it again for the RSC players.

 

 

 

I don't think we should ever forget how this game started and how it wasn't bankrolled by a major investor. It's important to remember your roots!

- Bankers

 

+ Miles, Niles, Giles as bankers.

 

 

 

I like the Cape with the year Idea, and every year should have a different emote maybe?

So is this only for the RSC characters that people saved? If so I'm horribly against it, my account is almost 8 years old and it would make me sick to watch someone else with an RSC emote I couldn't use. I hope Jagex has a way of tracking when our characters were made. That way those who were around during the RSC days can have the emote, etc. Its a good idea, really.

Personally i dont see this happening it's who was active at the time, also the cape/emote thing, like the Jagex mod said who forwarded to the development team, she said to show reference in a quest or something along those lines, i do however agree with the year capes

I don't see the Bunny Ear drop happening again either. It would make it unfair to those who DID happen to be fortunate enough to go on RS that Easter Day.

 

 

 

I also agree with "Year Capes". Even if someone made a new account today; they would get a cape displaying "2009".

 

 

 

I ALSO totally agree with a RSC emote (even if it's a 2D image in a 3D game; which could show how much this game has improved, graphics-wise).

Win.

I would love a reference to RSC. That reminds me I need to try and get a Dragon Baxe on rsc again though >.

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.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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.

 

i completely agree here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bring back old pokemon!!!!

I guess im part of that 1% unless you started before Febuary 2001???

 

 

 

Mid Febuary of 01 is when I started playing, and I still play the same account to date. The link in my sig is the closest proof I have of it showing 59 Hp in march of 02. Anyone playing back in those days knows how insanely slow training was....before rune existed...heck some of it before even full mithril existed.

 

 

 

It's not about looking pretty, as any rsc player would know it's never been about looking pretty

 

 

 

RSC was great.. The people that never played or only played for a short time will never understand what made it so great.

 

 

 

The community was so much different back then. :(

 

 

 

 

 

The reference to RSC would be great. It wouldn't be of any use to me as I can't use my RSC account anymore. It would be cool to see it though. Bring's back some memories ;)

I think a reference to RSC would be nice. I was never around in those times but I know many people have fond memories of it. Like... I didn't play the original red and blue pokemon at the time but I can still appreciate the nostaglia people might have for it.

 

 

 

I totally LOVE the idea of that cape like... cape of creation, or something. I'd like to have a cape with the year I made my account on it... mainly because I can't remember #-o
