Banking is like this from Smarthuiyuan's blog
Banking is like this. Banks are desperately, and I do mean DESPERATELY, searching for people who can use COBOL because RS gold what all the old systems have been coded and they can't change them. If they try, there is an extremely high chance the whole global banking network collapses overnight. Its honestly a ridiculous situation but kind of humorous at a very horrifying way. Yep, but in least COBOL was once popular so there's documentation to reference. I have seen banking programs that interface with this COBOL that run on style programming languages which are so vague they're ungoogleable.
Okay so - I am going off of at least how Runescape used to get the job done. This relies on if they didn't change the way that it works (and I doubt they did.) Consider the fact that you have your character. You have what's called a"player kit" - that is the fundamental character's layout:Male/Female, Hairstyle/Beards (if applicable)/ / Hair Colour, Outfits/Outfit colors. So going from the: your foundation character has a certain number of combinations you can make - I am a bit too lazy to calculate them all, but you can likely do so by counting the number of colours/hairstyles/etc. And doing the math to determine how many distinct combinations you can find.
So there is a ton of them already after that - but you have to determine what to do about there being items which don't fully cover a player's mind, generally only"hats" - like Partyhats, Robin Hood Hats, Chompy Bird Hats (and there is like 18 Chompy Bird Hats independently ), etc.. In addition to this, if they still use that old system - they'd have an entirely separated model for the participant's chat mind - which is why no body/torso is displayed in the chatbox. I am not really in a position to make any suggestions on it, although there is probably a simpler way to do it. Anyway so - you would have to re-model each and every chathead with the face/hair exposed, and rework facial expressions to seem less. Odd?
Anyway, this all becomes a massive project, and they are already barely putting out anything since it is - and that which we do get usually does something dumb such as disables item pick-ups, or causes nightmare-inducing model-glitches of items like PoF creatures. It's not that I do not believe they can get it done. It's that I think that they won't because of the time-sink (unless it includes a new game/new tech/etc.) And because they are currently having a hard enough time doing simple jobs that keep breaking due to old mechanical troubles.
They would have to QA a lot of stuff - and you know just how much QA as it is, we get. Again, this is strictly going away of like the original tech - they might have changed their things, and just did not ever mention it. But using the previous methods makes this sort of thing tough, from a logical standpoint. Another thing of note for RuneScape gold buy you to do a little research in is the catastrophe that is the roughly 165 Slayer Helmet's until they ditched the enchanting system.
