Why wasn't the update timer yellow this time? :O
Are you using our client? We've not changed it, and it looks yellow on Mod Roq's screen. Yeah, it's an issue with OSBuddy.

Is there any chance of a new world/server coming out with new saves and no Grand Exchange? Like a single new world, sub server, with new saves and every other update ever except for the GE.
As the GE ties into other things (e.g. death protection) that's quite a big diversion internally, even if it might not look like it. We're not at all keen to wind up with two separate codebases to maintain in parallel, especially as you want every other update to happen to these special worlds. Once you've got multiple codebases to maintain, every update in future takes more than twice as long. Where we've done alternate forms of the game before, e.g. DMM, they all use the same codebase.
Aw, damn. That's too bad. I feel like it'd just be a lot of fun to have a separate server without a GE and normal trading going on again, and there'd be people doing all sorts of 'out of meta' stuff since the most popular places would probably be full if there were only one server.

Is there no other way around the code bases? I figured suggesting every other update aside from the GE would be the best way to get it to pass but if it required no updates past some specific point in time I guess that would be okay. I just really miss bank sales and people trading without it being a scam 100% of the time and lots of other things.

when will broadcasts for all items above certain value come?
also how will it work with untradeables like clues, ancient shards and totem pieces?
That one's not started dev yet. Maybe it'll be ready for next week. Even untradeables have a nominal player value, used for their death protection, so it could perhaps work off that.

You'd presumably need bugfixes, though. Not all bugs are in new content; we've spent a lot of time dealing with legacy issues from 2007 and before. Also, there'd need to be a lot of interest in something to warrant splitting the community like we did when we made OSRS. Like, there were a few hundred thousand players expressing interest in getting OSRS.

It was meant to be like all the other weapons in that category; I'm afraid a guaranteed zero weapon is not something we were looking to install again, given the issues we've had with such things before.
