10 Year Veteran Cape
13 hours ago

Today sees the long-awaited launch of the 10 Year Veteran Cape – a cape available only to members that have been playing RuneScape for 10 years or more. A lot can happen in 10 years - just take a look at RuneScape back in 2002!

The gates of Gielinor had barely been open a year when Ardougne made its first appearance on the map, and the poor (or should that be rich?) Carnilleans first fell victim to the heinous Hazeel Cult. 2002 was also the year that Tutorial Island welcomed many new visitors to RuneScape, and many an adventurer also met their demise at the hands of the newly-arrived King Black Dragon!

Back in the real world, 2002 saw Japan and Korea host the FIFA World Cup, and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers first hit cinema screens.

If you’ve been playing our game for 10 years, you certainly deserve a special item to mark this magnificent commitment. This prestigious garment is is available to members only, a members item and it can be purchased from Hans, who can be found in the grounds of Lumbridge Castle.

Before you head off to get your cape and enjoy its impressive new emote, we’d just like to say a big thank you to all of our loyal players, and we look forward to creating further veteran capes as and when each new milestone arrives!

It looks alright, but for a 10 year cape, its disappointing. a fire cape that takes 1 hour to get, looks better than a cape that takes 10 years, seems legit.

Something that takes an hour to get but you have to do something to get it should look better than something that sat around for 10 years.

Example:

Hour old Apple = Shiny, Red, Beautiful.

10 year old Apple = Brown, Disgusting, Ugly.

 

[Sartana]

Looks terrible.

 

[Simple Man]

Oh man the emote is cool...

You can't really look at it like this... There can be a million people that sign up to runescape right now and get the necessary levels in 1 day and all achieve a fire cape. Being apart of a game for 10 years is 10 years...

I feel a better example would be:

Hour old desk = Shiny, common.
10 year old desk = Unique, more unique to the eye, an antique.

Pretty sure my original main can get it, but he isn't P2P at the moment.

^ this really should of made the cape look more epic then just have X on the cape and also the emote is cool and everything but it should be more then X.

The picture on rs wikia looks pretty cool. I'm stll debating whether to make the classic accounts I have members just to get the cape...

 

[Articuno]

pretty cool i wish i could get the cape! the Emote looks sweet!

 

[Yenthe666]

Hehe the emote is pretty cool But yeah indeed, they could've made something way better from this..
This can be locked thanks all.

 

[Lee Sin]

can get it. Not worth buying members for it tho.

 

[insanity575]

I popped on yesterday and got it right before my p2p ran out. Its pretty sweet, the emote could be better though. Overall im happy with it

I agree, the emote could possibly have been better.

The design of the cape is also another element which could have been designed a little differently.

Otherwise, not a bad cape and I'd assume it to be quite uncommon.

 

[Saint Grimm]

I agree, they could of made it cooler, maybe a mist animation like max/120dung capes and the emote I dont really care for at all but the cape itself looks ok i suppose.

+1 i agree, yes it took no effort, but for you to even notice a 10 year veteran cape came out, shows you check up now and then how the game is going, effectively meaning your a semi-active player, or at least browser of the website.

10 years of loyalty regardless if you were playing much or not, should be rewarded higher then 1 hour of gameplay utilising a little player skill.

I have 3 accounts that can get it lol, does this mean they are worth more
