It had been either bonds or
RS gold closed down years ago. Gold farmers were using stolen credit cards to pay for hundreds of memberships for hots and all that money got refunded through banks into the initial account holders. Cause that occurred much, banks advised Jagex that you need to type out this or we wont perform transactions with you anymore cause of this high amount of theft on between your game going. They had to do something cause that could have murdered the method that they accept payments for membership from round the world.
The -only- reason you get to play OSRS, and have this argument and completely miss the point I made this, is because Jagex made the decision to continue runescape without wilderness, free trade, and present bonds to fight gold farmers and stolen credit cards. That's all there's to it. Long prior to EOC was introduced, Jagex did those things to keep runescape going. OP is complaining about Jagex's stance over a decade and a half ago compared to today, probably completely unaware of the challenges Jagex confronted and the reasons they made the choices they did.You just get to play with OSRS because of MTX whether you want to accept that or not, since Jagex made the decision to maintain runescape running with MTX and did what they needed to do to keep sellers doing business with them. There's nothing left to argue about this fact. Goodbye.
Great questions. Fortunately I have experience with MMO servers over the years so I kinda breezed through this area. There are no physics calculations server side, at the present time it's all distance checks. It's all validated to deter any type of customer side data that was false. Scaling it is just another story, although it runs fine today. This is more difficult to test in the minute but it's having a fast network library that is lightweight add some multithreadijg in and it ought to
buy runescape 3 gold be sufficient on a fast server.
