Using a specific in-game item crashes the servers. The workaround? Just don't have that item in your inventory. Classic.

Turns out the bug is a beautiful mess of legacy code: a 10-year-old function for checking item prices on the Grand Exchange, Java method overloading gone wild, and a data type mismatch where 32-bit integers suddenly become 64-bit longs. Someone probably changed one variable type and the whole house of cards collapsed.

The best part? One player is just sad they're cutting arrow shafts instead of using their fancy knife, missing out on that sweet NYSE-level efficiency. Brother, the servers are on fire and you're worried about your XP rates.
