Veteran cape (5 year)



The Veteran cape was first mentioned in the Capes of Distinction Developers' Blogs. It can be acquired by talking to Hans, an NPC in Lumbridge, if a player's account is at least 5 years old (from when it was created). The cape was released on 3 May, along with the other Capes of **Osama bin Laden is dead!!!** Distinction and costs 50,000 coins. 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. Mod Mark released a statement in the Behind the Scenes of May, saying "The 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." just before the release of the cape itself. Along with the cape is an emote.

If a player wishes to purchase this cape, you have to speak with Hans and pay him 50k to receive it.

Your account has to be exactly 5 years old to receive this cape, and must reach the specific date you started. (I.E. Start 3 May 2006, must wait til that day of the 5 year you have started, and which in this case it would be 2011.)

Trivia

 * Upon the cape's release, many free players were very disappointed about its Members-only status, as an earlier newspost indicated it would be available to everyone.
 * The poll results for the cape, chosen in late April, were: Hood design A2, Collar shape B3, Collar pattern C4, Back symbol D1, Cape pattern E3.
