✭✭✭✭The engine cannot handle them. They tried in alpha, and the performance tanked from them.1 -

✭✭You're not the only one who would like them, and they were part of the game in the early design stages, but alas, they couldn't get the physics to work properly and if they existed, they'd be a horrible clipping, stapled-to-your-toon's-butt mess."It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time saying anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a long time to say, and to listen to." - Treebeard0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Game engine is very crude. Though devs created good animations, textures and overall amazing design, engine eats a lot of potential, including cloaks. We have costume with cloak - breton hero armor, in some colors and on some races it looks not bad in static and while walking, but try sprinting or crouching and it looks awkward.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭OP. There is a cape that has been sold on the crown store before. The Bretton hero costume has a cape. But it is stapled to your buttocks. That is as close to a cape as you will get in this game.
Besides Zos making it clear multipole times it will never happen, the game does not have cloth physics to make having a cape look good. Adding the cloth physics would put additional load on the already loaded servers. So no. It would require a complete rework of the game. Probably a new engine and even then deciding what to cut out or redesign to reduce server load.
A little more work and money than it is worth.1 -
