”We've considered as a team how to deal with the Max Cape in a way that honours the community’s wishes. After carefully reviewing community discussion and weighing up the broader impact on the game, we're proposing that the Max Cape will be treated as lost when a new skill is added to the game – you’ll need 99 in the new skill before you can get it back.
We understand that this might feel frustrating. After all, reaching max level status is a huge achievement. But Old School RuneScape is a living, evolving game. New content should bring fresh goals and challenges, and the Max Cape should reflect that. Making players re-earn it isn’t taking something away from the community, it’s rising to the challenge of meeting an evolving standard for the game. Players who re-earn their Max Cape have proved ongoing dedication and commitment, just like when new combat achievements or quests are released. This approach also keeps the system fair and consistent: a skill is a skill, regardless of when it's added. We don't want to create convoluted systems where we have different rules for new versus old skills.”
