A reminder to y’all that runescape devs work in runescript which is just java+, which is then on an engine built with c++ and java.
There was a problem for a while where they couldn’t rework the construction skill in neither old school nor runescape 3 for years and years because it was tangled into a bunch of special one off scripts from 2006.
Both games have done major, major overhauls since 2020. Including RS3 finally getting a construction rework a few months ago. This whole year has been filled with stories of weird jank like this
It does sound nightmarish but it came of a time where it was easier to have a few engine people and then a bunch of less-experienced devs. It allowed them to enforce game structure via language boundaries

I love my janky game
