What kind of glitches, exactly? I mean, How hard is it to ***** something like this up? Unless you didn't put the effort that it should have been given into the project. The Jagex we knew and loved is long gone.
*glitch takes your loyalty points and/or runecoins twice* That sort of glitch.
It could really be any number of things. They are taking two completely separate systems and combining them; one system deals with a free virtual currency (loyalty points) and one system deals in paid virtual currency (runecoins). It could be akin to taking a V8 engine out of a pickup truck and dropping it into a Honda Civic. It can be done, but it is going to take a bit of modification to get any semblance of functionality.

From a coding perspective, the functions, calls, loops, definitions, variables, EVERY SINGLE BIT OF CODE, has to be looked at in both systems and revised. This isn't even counting the effects these changes have on dependent systems such as interface or payment processing. A single mistake at any step of the process could result in a massively spectacular failure that could cause unforeseen problems elsewhere in the game (infinite loops, handling errors, segfaults etc.).

Quite honestly, I enjoy busting Jagex's chops as much as the next person; not only because I pay money for this game, but because I sincerely and genuinely want them to succeed. However, a lot of the people complaining here have picked one of the most asinine things to whine about in recent memory. Stay classy, folks.

Lol, it seems like they are running out of updates...and do w/e they can do to stretch "updates" that they keep recycling... They have been doing this more and more often, you get to a point were it just gets old. Is it me or has it been like that this entire year... 2-3 no update weeks a month... if not the "update" is sof or sgs related... or an update from previous month... in this case... YEAR ...

Edit: also is it me or is the customer service nonexistent...I have been trying to get a hold of anybody for a week or so now... no response

Awesome... better not count as a sept update.

If this is the Jagex we know... it will be... and you can almost guarantee at least 2 no-update weeks... and another sgs/or sof update...that being your "content" for the month

Edit: wait till the bts of next month

Good. Get it right, you guys. Take your time, you get more done. Quality over quantity. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

That's blasphemy...they haven't been putting out either latey...only updates they get out on schedule are sgs or sof... and no I'm not "hating"...I'm telling the truth.

and what is your logic behind..."Take your time"..."get more done"? That's contradicting if not stupid.
