It was never like this man. I always wanted to make a pure with only 99 summoning and be able to get the cape, and then go to f2p so you can be level 3 with a summoning cape
It was like that on PVP worlds -- idk why people are saying it never happened, because it was there for like 3 years. The level-3 with summoning cape wouldn't have worked though, because you needed to be level 20+ to enter a PVP world.
