Mod Doom is travelling to Jagex HQ right now for the Golden Gnomes tonight, so I'll do my best in his stead to answer this!

Good news is it's still happening! Bit too early to confirm a date just yet - but we can say right now it's still in our roadmap with a defined release date in the first half of the year.

Don't expect it in April, but May or June is currently looking like a relatively safe window to share with all of you.

is it really being raised or are we just able to purchase things on the GE above max cash?
That doesn't make sense. You can't buy anything above max cash if you only have max cash. what do you think this update is for?
Raising the max cash of course.

What you said doesn't make any sense. You asked if they just enable us to buy things above max cash, without raising max cash. How would you do that? You can't afford it then. If you have 2.1B, and they don't raise that limit, how would you then buy anything that costs more than 2.1B? That is impossible. it makes perfect sense, they will introduce a new currency that costs a certain amount of gp to use. people already do this using spirit shards in player trades. do you think things over max cash never get sold?
You cannot buy items on GE with spirit shards.

This was your original question: "is it really being raised or are we just able to purchase things on the GE above max cash?"

So please tell me how you would buy items on GE above max cash if you only have max cash? You can't. And if they do introduce a new currency, that is the same as raising max cash.

never said you could. that is an example of how another item that is pegged to a fixed amount of coins is being used in practice to trade above max cash.

if jagex introduces a new currency that the GE uses, like how players use spirit shards, then we would be able to buy items above max cash the same way.

consider the following:
1. jagex introduces a new currency, let's call it "super coins"
2. a unit of super coin can be freely exchanged in either direction for equivalent of 1000 gp
3. the GE accepts a combination of coins and super coins
4. the GE is updated to handle values above 2.147b

that is a mechanism that would allow you to buy above max cash. it is the same thing players already do with spirit shards. it is not the same as raising max cash, which would not be affected at all by this. hope this explanation finally connects the dots for you?

Confirmed, and coming in May 2023:

"MAX CASH LIMIT CHANGES
Following our Death Cost reductions earlier this year, we're now almost ready to release the much-awaited change to enable Max Cash to go above the current limit of 2.14b!

Expect to see it this May."

BE funny if this means that the number of Spirit Shards in game suddenly crashes.

GE tracking of old rares is going to be "fun". Been stuck at the current max value. If they continue to trade at the 50b or 100b, it will be weird to see teh value gradually rise the same way we've seen the over-priced released of MTX stuff fall.

Though would make for a great way to finally get GP out of the game. Finally getting to get those big 2% taxes on 5, 10, and maybe the occasional 50-100b transaction.
