It's probably a lot more on the back end than we see in the final product so take some of my phrasing with a grain of salt. For example I'm sure it wasn't simple to do but I'm gonna call it a simple change.

For a game as content-rich as Runescape I feel strongly that these types of updates are more important than content updates right now. This coming in and java going out are huge steps forward from a technological standpoint.

I'm sure there are exceptions and edge cases out there but by and large, it feels so much better to move around now. Feels more modern. And it's a pretty simple thing all told, it's not like some huge game shifting thing, but I sense that it's the start of a series of small but significant changes in the same vein that aggregate to be huge and game changing.

Bravo on this one Jagex, keep them coming.

Having seen what the core experience team have cooking, I can say that I am SOOO hyped for everything they are working on!

Smoothment

That's a Jagex-level pun right there.

"Smoovement" was brought up in a meeting the other day. I think that one is my fav.
