What, so then we have to find every packet id, have the hassle with all the new engine crap and ID's that you have to find, including mapdata? No thanks.

Since when does the client loading stuff, affect the server lag? .

You must be living in the dark ages if rs2 runs slow on your comp rofl...

It depends what you're talking about when you mean 317/377.
A RuneScape revision comes with many things:

• The client.
• The protocol.
• The cache.
• And the RuneScape server content updates.

If you mean client, most of servers - even with customs/etc. - still use the original 317 client, just modified.
If you mean the protocol, 95% of servers use 317 protocol so they can communicate with the 317 client.
If you mean cache, most 317 clients actually use the 377 cache because the 377 cache has more shit in it that still works with the 317 client. They also add their own customs to the cache which makes it not authentic 377.

Overall, I'd say that still 95% servers are 317-oriented.

You have experience.
