Veteran cape (5 year)

The Veteran cape was first mentioned in the Capes of Distinction Developers' Blog. It can be aqquired, if talked to Hans, a NPC in Lumbridge. This cape will only be worn by players that have accounts which are at least 5 years old (from date created, not total time played). There is currently some dispute over whether 5 years is actually a long enough time to be considered a true veteran. Jagex seem to be sticking with the 5 year idea, and have said that they may later release a more prestigious 10 year veteran cape. The cape was released on May 3rd, along with the other Capes of Distinction. There was a guaranteed content poll in which players could actually choose what the cape should look like from a list of choices. This poll ended on 1 april.



The poll results are: hood design A2, collar shape B3, collar pattern C4, back symbol D1, cape pattern E3. []

Mod Mark released a statement in the Behind the Scenes of May, saying "That winning veteran cape design will soon be available to all players who have had a RuneScape account for at least five years. Joining it is the Classic cape, for all of those who have at some point logged into RuneScape Classic on their account."

 * A lot of f2p are angry because jagex stated that the cape would be available for all players who played the game for 5 years or longer now it turns out it is members only.
 * Btsharp first discovered a glitch where if the player clicks on an object such as a tree during the emote, they will turn in the direction of the object.
