You are wrong. You cannot say that RuneScape is not currently equipt with the means to have more than 99 in a skill. One word my friend... POTIONS. And even if RS wasn't capable, which it is, then I doubt people would lose stats. Do you have any idea how simple it is to just upload a new piece of code without affecting everything else? It's like php and mysql. Two completely different things, but they go together great. Mysql is where the data is stored, and php is the code that stores the data.
