It's not going to take months for the Free Trade and Old Wilderness System...

I concur. There's no way that out of nowhere the CEO just said, "WILD IS COMING BACK!" They have had to plan it beforehand.

 

I think they've already been planning this for the past year or so

 

Seriously? Every game has flaws. EVERY. Don't rip on them because some smart individuals have discovered how to use these glitches to their own advantage. I'm sure if you spent time looking at certain games, you'd find just as many glitches.

 

To actually remove the trade limits is a few minutes of work, if it's not less.
The actual bug tesing will take a lot longer, Though once again, Not months.

 

I'm almost sure they finished the programing part of this update before announcing it and are just waiting for the right time.

 

You're right. I told the same things to someone around here

 

Well, I think I might start playing RuneScape again.

 

Yeah I agree with everyone saying they have been working on this for a long time

 

Your right, the update should be done by January and they have so many people at Jagex.

 

From all the feedback im reading, almost 100% its gonna come out before February.

 

Clearly someone has never created a 3D game, it is fucking hard you jackass.

 

Who said anything about creating a game? *facepalm*

 

I'm saying (and i'm shocked at how this possibly went over your head) that you are clearly clueless on what changes to a game involve. Your post missed many, many things.

-They updated the whole game engine. That means that potentially every other line of code is now incorrect and has to be re-written.
-They updated every single graphic in the game. That means that although they have the code/models for everything, they still have to update every single one of them to be compatible with every screen resolution and graphics setting (not to mention the new game engine)
-They need to work out things like overloads and gravestones and decide what would be best
-They need to think about PVP items and gear, will they still be dropped in the wilderness? If not, where will they be?
-They need to move all of clan wars, which means new graphics need to be created.
-Quests don't just need to be modified, potentially new cutscenes and graphics also need to be created (and parts of quests will be significantly changed)
-The system itself needs to be created to work with the game in it's current state

That is just off the top of my head, think about how every single little change could have massive effects that need to be dealt with.

I'm just saying, you have never created/developed a game, and by the content of your post you clearly have no idea what actually has to go into every change made.

 

Maybe it won't take months to implement the code; perhaps they mean something along the lines of teaching newbs how to buy things / stake / survive in the wild. (I'm being serious, I had the idea but then realised I was probably wrong but kept typing to try and make a good post. :L)

 

ofcourse they have everything except a few simple things, its just a matter of when they want to update it.

 

From reading (well skimming) your background from all the threads that you posted on Sythe, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about either. You only messed around with VB.NET which isn't even object-oriented programming(partially) and photoshop. That's to set your background and knowledge.

If you program in Java, you have classes. That is easier to debug when you know you have something wrong in your code. It's not like VB.net. This is a false assumption.

Please don't make false assumptions. They have graphic modelers for that.

A day of thinking at work would solve that. Not two weeks.

A day of thinking at work would solve that. Not two weeks.

It's not all about graphics. This is another false assumption.

Again, it's not all about graphics. Yes, new cutscenes and graphics also need to be created.

It's not going to take that long. I program myself.

Biggest load of horse shit I've ever seen.

 

I love your assumptions. I am currently in uni studying computer games design, in a sandwich course that would potentially give me a placement at Jagex.

I know 6 different languages: VB.NET, Java, Python, PHP, C++ and Delphi. Also, i have created 3D games using Blender 3D before i even started uni. Most were crap, but i'd like to think at least 1 was very playable and enjoyable. Only small, but i know more than you that is for sure.

They have graphic modelers for it, they still need to actually do the work you idiot. I'm not kidding, how absolutely retarded can you get?

A day of thinking, plus a day of coding, a day of working out how to implement it and some time to test it.

I didn't say it was all about the graphics jackass, i said that that may be one of the issues. Which it will be.

You program yourself? Congratulations, being able to make a random number generator in Java means that you now know the entire Runescape game engine inside out and can accurately judge how long re-creating and implementing an old system into a massively changed game will take. You should be given a medal of some sort.

Lol it is funny because you are stupid.

 

I love all the childish insults such as "idiot and jackass." Can't handle a good argument? Get off troll. Stop lying about your background too. You're probably some 14 year-old script kiddie.

 

Anyone else saying this is the "big surprise in store" for the 10th anniversary?
