wait...skill capes possibly going f2p? crap -.-

 

 

 

I don't really see what the problem would be, there are alot of hardcore f2pers that deserve the acknowledgment.

[Pinkbullet3]

(Will skillcapes be free to play)

 

Yeah

 

Yes I expect so

 

Skill capes I mean

 

(Regarding total game play being available to see)

 

Yes indeed for total game time

 

I want to kiss this man's feet.

 

 

 

[hide=Off-topic.]In essence I even have an idea for F2P skill capes, even though they're probably working on theirs right now...

 

 

 

But my idea was that F2P gets the long capes like the colored ones and the Chocatrice cape:

 

 

 

... and F2P just gets the decorated cape with the picture and such (and trim if more than one 99). NO shoulder pads, NO emote. Just cape + trim. Perhaps make the cape longer if needed. Maybe hood? Perhaps leave the hood out too to keep the flamers happy.

 

 

 

:?[/hide]

[SwreeTak]

Seems like we still have to wait for quite a while until we get to mobilise our own armies...And I who thought that would come out soon :P. But I'm sure that when it once comes out it will be worth the long wait.

[Chained_life]

Their priorities are a joke.

 

 

 

"Let's work on f2p Skill capes, Mobilizing Armies can wait" "OKAY!".

 

 

 

Idk, maybe they're just pandering to them in hopes of them coughing up a few bucks for membership. I've never heard of a company that puts the non-paying customers above the paying ones. Their #1 priority should be to satisfy their PAYING customers, to the fullest extent. Yeah whatever, I know you can click a few more times, blah blah, f2p is harder, blah blah, they deserve it even though they have contributed nothing to Jagex personally. Aw well, 2 more years \

Any why is it they shouldn't get skill capes? Their stats that they've got to 99 I'm sure took more work than P2p'ers. I don't see any problem in them getting skill capes, I'm actually for them getting capes. The long-time hardcore players deserve them, they really do.

:wall: some people are so greedy. obviously they're trying to get mobilizing armies out. they're just not allowed to give nonmembers updates?

Or perhaps more likely they have a dedicated team for minigames which are all working non stop on Mobilising Armies and there is another team that deal with adding little bits of content. Its not like they put 100% of staff time into one thing at a time.

[Leoo]

Please let there also be a non-pvp update :pray:

[Den]

Sounds good.

 

 

 

Kind of dissapointed they are making skill capes free since its the second best cape in the game.

 

They would have to move many of the skill cape people to free player areas if they dont plan on making defenders, taverly, burthrope and the warrior's guild free.

 

Since there are 2 melee skill capes there.

 

 

 

We will have to see.

I don't think they need to "work" on F2P skill capes, since it's just a matter of releasing them to F2P. They're already designed and stuff.

 

 

 

And you have nothing to say about their priorities. You pay to play the game, not to tell them what to do. And don't tell me you pay for the game to "contribute to Jagex". What a joke.

They have to work out a way to release certain capes in the F2P world. Also, I'm guessing they won't get the quest skill cape.

Perhaps not, but you know it'll be it's own release for a whole week despite it taking so little work to actually implement.

[Bauke]

And how do you know that?

[Me_Hate_Libs]

And how do you know that?

 

 

 

Actually I said you know, which means you should ask how I know, but then that would confuse the people reading this and not paying attention, so they probably would assume that your way would be correct... and oh no my eyes just crossed. :?

 

 

 

But basically, going on their past methods for doing it, they'll do whatever they can to stretch out an update to cover a week, no matter how small.

[hide=Quote train]

 

Classic is currently in dev although it will be a few months before it is released

 

 

 

Does this mean classic will be opened up to everyone? I wonder how :shock:

 

 

 

It's the one he's mentioned before, where you'll have access to 'cheat codes' for classic. Just for people to get a "feel of it", I'm sure. As if they were to allow it back to how it was, you'd find bots starting to sell Gp etc. Whereas, if they leave everything free to get, no trouble will be caused.

 

I'm guessing a lot of people will find out how much RSC sucked in comparison to the RS we have today :P

[/hide]

 

 

 

I hope they release the RSC capes when they open up classic. That'll be the ultimate nontradeable equippable item, next to the yoyo.

 

Yo-yo isn't equippable (I know, I have it).

 

 

 

And looking kinda forward to the stopping GE manipulation being stopped.

Quoted for truth. I think making Skillcapes F2P is a good decision. As others above me pointed out, getting a 99 is harder in F2P than it is as a member. That makes it even more of an accomplishment, and so they deserve a Cape of Accomplishment to show it off.

But what if they got 99 in p2p? I'm not against f2p skill capes or anything but how can you tell if they got it in free?

[chazzycaz]

Does that really matter? As it is, if you are p2p you can wear and operate skillcapes in f2p anyway. All the update does is give f2pers who havent bought membership the chance to buy and use them. I dont see why there needs to be a way of distinguishing, although I do admit an extra trim for those who have NEVER bought membership would be well deserved. (No extra bonuses though)

[me]

That could really annoy someone who, for example, because P2P for a month just for forum access or something. I don't think Jagex would do anything which proactively discouraged people from becoming a member or penalised people for having been members.

Oh i dear Jagex to release Skill Capes for F2P. And then i dare them to give it an extra trim for those who obtained it F2P Pure. Then i would like to see the gang of angry Scapers making a fuss over how the Free Players get access to better looking skillcapes than the Members do. TBH i think this is a load of BS. If you want to get a skill cape then get membership. its as easy as that. We pay an extra ammount of money for an extended version of the game. I dont see why Free Players should ahve any more features than they already have.

Yes... because EVERYBODY has access to a credit card or a pre-paid card or a mobile they can use. And EVERY parent is completely willing to let their child pay for things on the internet. :wall: It's not 'that simple'. And though I don't advocate that F2P should have everything members have, why the hell shouldn't they be allowed to show their achievement through a simple cape? #-o

PaybyMail. End of story. There are several ways to get membership. If your parents don't aprove then either do it behind their back or face the fact that you will never be a member. Along eith that realisation you might want to add the fact that members items are for members. iI see no reason why a F2P'er should have acces to the items members pay for. I dont go to Mc Donalds expexting a free meal when im hungry. Certain things have to be paid for in life. Life's greatest gifts cost the most. I think i've made my point now.

There's no "being allowed". Jagex decides whether they think it's a smart idea to open up skillcapes to F2P. Jagex decides how their business is run, and what the best strategy is to improve their income and profit.

 

 

 

There is no "should or should not get". It's simply a yes or no by Jagex. The only thing you as a player can do is either to start or stop paying, or quit playing.

 

 

 

I couldn't care less about F2P getting skillcapes. It doesn't affect me in any way, being a P2P player. I still have the numerous benefits that P2P gives me. And once I feel that P2P doesn't supply me with enough benefits, I'll simply get F2P. End of story.
