That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread. XD You just made my day.

Wrong, WoW did not do capes first in an MMO. I know Dark Age of Camelot had capes, and pretty sure Ultima Online (basically the first graphical MMO) also had capes. As for originality, capes are a design in high fantasy. Since most MMOs are high fantasy, capes are not unheard of.

Umm no, capes are unoriginal design from first MMO of world of warcraft. Fantasy yes, but no be used of final fantasy.

So many MMOs animate capes poorly and subject players to ugly capes with good stats. If I can turn off the visual I'm fine with capes ... though adding a completely new item to receive stats from will take some balancing. Though more options that use the same half cape/tabard as the infantry chest piece I'd welcome

There was a bag slot in 1.0 that I wish they fleshed out a little more. Also anyone else miss the way we could have glasses and a hat on at the same time?

Yes I want a cape slot.

Dark Age of Camelot was the only MMO I've played that did capes well. You could stick your guild logo on it, dye it, and choose whether or not you wanted the hood up or down. I would love capes in this game, of all sizes, and with an option to turn them off if you don't like the look. Or maybe they're part of the vanity system. No stat increases, but you can wear one if you want to look dashing.

FFXI had a back slot, it just wasn't rendered.

No! We don't want jumping in this game! It breaks immersion!..... Oh wait, wrong thread.

had capes in GW2. did not care for it. that said, I see no reason why they couldn't implement it (if they're really strapped for things to do.. which is probably not the case), so long as there is a toggle on/off option. However, I have a feeling that people would get sick of the inevitable clipping issue. How would a cape work with things strapped to your back? Where is that lance coming from? Your bow seems to be both underneath and above the cape? Given the choice, which would you rather see, your weapon or your cape?

Capes are for vampires and other weirdos

No but WoW are first MMO and idea of cape are not original.

WoW was hardly the first mmo. Both Ultima Online and EQ predate WoW. Probably more that I'm not aware of. I only played UO myself and almost bought EQ.
