The team over at Jagex always has several irons in the fire when it comes to RuneScape's future. In a recent behind-the-scenes article, RuneScape's "Mod Mark" provides us with an advance look at some of the team's plans for the game this May.
Several new capes will be added to the game, including a five-year veteran cape and one for players who have tried out RuneScape Classic at some point. Each of the capes is not only stylish but comes with special emotes as well. Continuing with the fashion theme, the devs will also make available PvP "death hats" that change in appearance as you rack up the kills.
Several other quality-of-life improvements are on the table, such as the Dwarf Lava Flow Mine becoming an actual mine for players working on that particular skill. But by far the most exciting plan in the works is the introduction of a fresh type of content in the game: Fremennik Sagas. These are replayable stories by which you step into the shoes of famous characters to experience defining moments in their lives. There are three such Sagas being developed right now, including one in which you hunt for a bandit on the run.
You can peruse all of the proposed additions to the game over at RuneScape.

The capes are player crafted, which is a big plus. Crafters gonna make a ton of gold off them.

Except, the only ones that can be crafted requires you have the level required to make them to actually use them.

The first update this month had a severe backlash in reception towards the Veteran Cape from Runescape's 5+ year old community of free players. Jagex officials are struggling to diffuse the situation with apologies.
No public statements have been given out but the recent update section of the game forums continue to flood with anger filled comments from veteran Runescape players.
