Ice Poseidon's other example I gave is documented too, you can even find it in videos. You will still lag if you teleport from lumbridge, but not as severely. I'm not a software guy, but I would presume that specific areas overloading that area means you would overload that particular piece of RS gold hardware and would be delegated to a specific CPU on the system of Jagex. Within an mmo such as RS not every player's customer needs to have understanding of participant in the world, so to other gamers around them participant upgrades will be only sent by a server in a bid for efficacy.
They just have not upgraded the server hardware in the afternoon, but keep increasing Runescapes load demand per player. We used to have to sit out varrock west Bank spamming talk to sell or purchase what we needed for p2p on earth 1 for two or f2p. Now if more than 200 people are in the 3 chunks next to eachother it starts to bog since its loading their decorative effects the 200 players, their pets, and their cosmetic effects. Which all take more than 2x more processing power than it did in 2007. And thats not to mention the graphical overhaul to the environment and also npcs. Envision because its so populated everyone starts trying to show off emotes or cosmetics. So the server should relocate processing power to that too. All on some hardware that has gotten minimal upgrades to keep it operating.Right, I will instead see world community building in RS3. Final Fantasy XIV now has a world event like this in which you help reconstruct a town that is demolished and you get special recipes and cosmetic rewards that you can just unlock by helping with the building. Something like RuneScape to rebuild broken down cities are great. We have the Christmas cracker thingie in RS3. This type of events can be building blocks for permanent construction content, but that I believe we add new structures like supermarkets and hospitals with perks and buffs to present cities like Varrock and Falador instead of rebuilding a demolished city.
What about players that have 99 building? I know I do not feel like dropping millions on planks and nails to find. If you are level 99 construction and don't want more structure xp, the OSRS poll means almost nothing. Construction xp is just one of the rewards in RS3. There is also the concept of buffs in the form of relics and totems for skills and actions also. For instance, even at 99 building, when I engage in the community building of RuneScape gold buy a disco, I could acquire buff to related activities or agility training. I am talking about permanent game attributes like totems (out of Anachronia actions ) and relics (out of Archaeology).
