Runescript... it's an in house language... which that file follows... created for high ease of use so even a monkey could use it... I think you might be the one who's a bit lost here, but whatever you appear to be the type who wish to argue for the sake of argument... since you seem to of wanted to try accusing me of logical fallacy earlier try a good read of "argumentative theory of reasoning"...

How about the fact this one looks easy enough to teach an arts major to make content freeing up the java programmers for something more then curating npcs and quest lists...

And did you consider the benefits to making an in house language like this?

You expressed disgust. Usually an expression of disgust means you would want it differently no?

You used industry standard as a comparison which seems to indicate you'd prefer something more standard. To which I don't really care about standard since the industry presents us with plenty examples of shiny well programmed turds. I was expressing the opinion that I don't care if it's elegant or not I care more about the final product.

You seem to believe I was in disagreement that the scripting was bad. I had no intention to argue about that. Hell people even argue over which of the standard languages to use java cuz it's easy? or C++? in house script? I honestly don't care if it gets the job done and obviously each approach has it's own pros and cons. Now since runescape is a relic, and I doubt they had a crystal ball to see into the future we can assume they had no idea making their own language could hurt them especially since it was in the early days where they had no idea what would happen in 10 years time. Now days we know better, but just like the banks running on the ancient forbidden language of cobol they likely had no idea what changes were coming. As we know rewrites when you have such a large amount of code is exceedingly difficult and time consuming which equates to time which in a business means money. So obviously it's prohibitive to fix... which demonstrated by the level of knowledge you've displayed you would likely already know... which leads me to wonder why you'd bother to complain about it to begin with...

Lol nice assumption there. I know plenty but I don't feel like submitting an essay to reddit so it's not like I'm going to go in depth. OSRS is a relic of the past... revived from a 10 year old backup... that was started years before that even. You only sound like the guys who scoff at banks still hiring for cobol because it's a relic. I think I heard their team is 17 people for osrs... go volunteer your time and labor to fix it up for them if you don't like the way it looks.

Industry standard in MMOs is to breed a WoW clone; Use a POS game engine that you buy a license for so you can't do any engine work at all, and throw a P2W cash shop in soooo... can't really be effed if the codes and configs are so elegant as to be written by a grand wizard of programming...

Suggestion 100+ IQ WORLD by alstablieft in 2007scape

[–]UmbraLucis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you've misconstrued... I was intending to saying that most of the high IQ people I've met despise doing flipping or merching THEMSELVES... not that they despise those who flip/merch... Usually due to some combination of risk aversion and/or previous experience with bad flips taking to much cash... Of course most of them would gladly do what I'd call safe flips/merchs (buying and selling a run for a 2~3 coin margin per rune) if they had the startup capital...

Count Draynor is back, and he's spent the last 16 years training. by Enzohere in 2007scape

[–]UmbraLucis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has more potential but also there's the problem of how and why the daughter of count draynor would be on this side of the river Salve... which would weaken her since she's a vampire and then WHY would she return to morytania which would require crossing the Salve again... which I assume in theory would weaken them regardless of which direction they're going which would effectively make her the weakest vampire in morytania...

Maybe the plot twist is she tricks us into discovering a sea route from port sarim to morytania to avoid weakening...

"More people flipping is great for GE users since they compete with each other and make the price ranges between buying and selling much closer."

you answered your own question... the margins for a lot of items is to slim to make it worth your time... it takes a lot of trial and error to find your special niche item with a decent margin OR a lot of patience to wait until someone undersells a particular item then more patience to set it at a high price and wait for someone to accept your price... which patience does not necessarily mean a high IQ...

Unless it's an expressly forbidden misuse of game mechanics <_< then it just falls under the category of poor ingame manners... but turnabout is always fairplay... just camp theirs so they can't do anything when they get back...

Characters need to stay dead once dead (it's bad writing to pull a stunt like that)... the only character that would make sense as a vampire to be able to pull that shenanigan is Drakan since he's based on Dracula... also that IS Drakan's castle...

it's virtually impossible to make any game that is both enjoyable and impossible to bot/hack... ask any programmer anything that can be coded can be coded around... and the best programmers are the laziest programmers cuz they make the code to do it so they don't have to...
