I really see no point players have holiday items ect to prove how long you been playing. Just probly going to create a respect thing oh player with 01 cape is better then player with 08 cape. IMO

I played rsc (ya i was really young whatever) and i have made many accounts some banned not having my 2001 cape would just annoy me and just wait for another glicth like the fally masscare to kill those who have it :twisted:

A Longevity Cape whose skin/appearance is tied to your account creation date shouldn't be hard to do at all, programming wise.

 

I don't personally have a problem with a decorative cape, as long as there are no stats (or all the stats for all the capes are the same).

year capes would be nice idea....my oldest accounts hits 10 year mark in few months.

i just few days ago remembered my 2nd account pass all of sudden and logged in i was being in old tutorial island...its useless account but would be nice to walk with 10 year cape :P

it could use skillcape style look but trim only if you have both rs classic untradable holiday items also :P

 

i have some noob accounts that are very old but has no event items...only few of my accounts has bunny & scythe.

Quick chat option would be good enough as someone said, having those capes will make peoples personalotys different

I don't think it's bad idea, but I find it unfair if the capes were to offer any sort of strength or prayer bonuses.

It's simply not needed. Skillcapes was made so people could "prove" that they have 99's and you see how much damage that done-the same would be bound to be true for these "year capes" although to a much lesser extent. (Unless ppl starts getting back on their older accounts )

 

Besides-holiday items are enough. If I really want to show somebody how long I've been playing I can log onto my oldest account and play around with a yoyo or something.

I'm not sure if anyone realized this, but isn't account creation date a part of the accound recovery application? By wearing a cape you pretty much tell them "hey here's my account, GL".

 

I like the idea, but it just seems like throwing a bone to the hackers. Maybe a "1 year old+ account" status and a 5 and a 10. That way it's available to anyone they just have to earn it and it's not too giving away of account information.

1) We already have holiday items to show how long we've been playing.

2) Who would wear one of these capes.

3) These capes would look dirt ugly with a number written on it, and wouldn't suit the theme of the game.

4) I have more aesthetic/functional things to wear on my back.

 

5) Most importantly: I DON'T care if you've been playing for nearly ten years or just one year. I'm not going to treat you any different, nor do I care if you're really lying about how long you've played for.

 

P.S. If they were to ever come out, which i highly doubt, its going to be right next to my yo-yo, NOT in my bank, where I will never get it out just to prove I've been playing since 2004.

I wish Jagex would come out with a year cape i.e like as in the year you actually started playing this. Mine would be the earliest, as some of you might still remember me. :mrgreen:

Although so many people claim to say they are from the Classic days, a cape would settle it. Wouldn't it? I ran the idea by a few player mods and they luved the idea. What do you'll think ?

 

 

i like this idea even though i'm not from the classic days but i been on rs for 5 years!
