Old School RuneScape needs 'to do a bunch of work to stop the game exploding soon', as a problem from 2018 rears its ugly head

Sailors take aim at a sea beast with a cannon.

Old School RuneScape is one of the old guard—with the original version of the game being released way back in 2004. This is where I'd usually tell you about the good old days, but I was nine years old at the time. Sorry.

Anyway, that means it has some legacy code issues that need wrangling with—which, per some developer comments on the 2007scape subreddit (thanks, GamesRadar+) will make the game explode if not dealt with. Well—"explode" is a bit dramatic. It just wouldn't allow any more scenery to be added to the game if not fixed. Lest it explode.
