![]() Since then, quite a few songs in particular have passed that maximum stack value. So, a few days after, they had to upgrade their system to 64-bit. I guess they never really expected that many people to be using YouTube or a video to get that many views. ![]() In 2014, Gangnam Style reached the maximum value of 2147M, and since YouTube was running on a 32-bit system, the views simply just stopped going up. But, 9 quintillion, which is more than enough money that anyone would ever get in Runescape itself.Īn example of when this has actually happened in real life, where they actually need to upgrade their system, is with YouTube. If Jagex wanted to expand this value higher, they would need to upgrade to a 64-bit system, which allows the maximum number of things of a singular item or a singular value to be 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. But, you cannot have positive 0 and negative 0. Also, the reason why there is a minus 1 is to account for the number 0, which is also a possible value within the storage system. This positive / negative component also derives from the fact that it is a signed integer, not an unsigned integer, meaning ‘signed’ as in it has a positive or negative sign. That bit that is used to do that has no way of actually storing any other data values. The reason why it is 2 to the power of 31 and not 2 to the power of 32, is because 1 full bit is used to determine whether the number is a positive or a negative value. Now, basically, the system which stores the data for both RS3 and Old School Runescape can only store numbers up to 2147M, which is actually equal to 2 to the power of 31, minus 1. These restrictions are set by the programming language itself that is used to create whatever software was created. The reason why the max stack is 2147483647 is because Runescape uses 32-bit signed integers in terms of data value storage, and pretty much anything from computers to servers to apps, they all use these integers and data unit. Now, while a lot of people believe this max cash stack value comes from some sort of Java specific storage system, it is actually relevant to pretty much anything computer related, since it is pretty active in C++ coding as well, and a lot of other coding languages. So, starting off with a little bit of background information… Old School Runescape is a game coded with Java, and RS3 used to run off Java of course, because it was Old School. But, I feel like this is a mystery to many people, and I feel like it is worth addressing in an article. Now, this may be a bit of a shorter article. Today I am going to be explaining exactly why 2147M, or the exact number on the screen, is the maximum cash stack in Old School Runescape and Runescape 3.
