I can vouch for this

RS2 had much more players (even much more robots ) compared to RS3 and we'd seen 250k+ players on the internet often in summer and 1000+ players on each world was no problem back then in 2011. Technologies have improved tremendously today a decade later, it is just stupid/moronic/idiotic believed that RuneScape gold servers have been in worse shape than the era. RS3 can manage a lot more players than now, particularly players will certainly mean more servers will be added. The stability problems of the servers now is a few players are currently doing for. RS3 just need better load balancing and exception handling of certain activities. It is not a huge issue.

I can vouch for this. Back in 2009 (later Runescape was considered"dead" because of wildy elimination ), some servers are so crowded that Runescape was actually literally unplayable. Killing a boss like Araxxor was practically inconceivable to me because were mid-level slayer and skilling. Some of these experiences are different due to me being free to play at the time however I only presumed that the once far-fetched dreams like being able to play RuneScape on a cell phone became possible, they'd have fixed the server instability issues that made Runescape impossible to playwith.

I do not know what folks are talking about with Old School servers because I play with Old School as well and these servers are absolute spaghetti. The OSRS servers are so bad that sometimes you are able to perish to slayer creatures that are superior because Runescape will freeze for 20 minutes or more. Not exactly. Why it is so I can't really explain, but it definitely makes a huge difference. So much so in actuality, that at OSRS some yet dishonest people realized cash can be duplicated by them if they left the server crash. The outcome? They made a literal shit ton of alts (they filled the host to the 2k cap, or very close to it) And place those balances. They made as it tried to calculate all those hits in such a tiny area, all the alts fight each other, making enormous strain.

Ice Poseidon's other example that I gave is documented too, you may even find it in videos. Just likely to lumbridge academy that is w84 will make your character move in stages, where it pauses after every tile moved lmao. Should you teleport out of lumbridge, you will still upset, but not as severely. I am not a software guy, but I would assume that areas overloading that area means you'd overload that piece of hardware and would be assigned to a CPU on the system of Jagex. In an mmo like RS not every participant's client needs to OSRS buy gold consistently have understanding of player on earth, so in a bid for efficacy a server will send participant updates to other players around them.
