Well, this is it; I am announcing my final and permanent retirement from RS. A few reasons contributed to this. First and foremost, what really made me realize that this game is pretty much pointless is how I died afc just a few minutes ago...I lost 15K addy arrows and a green mask. Not only that, but a friend of mine also lost my full zammy when he got banned. I guess even after I got 85 mining, it just wasn't the same, and now this happens. This was basically a final blow...I see no point whatsoever to continue playing. I'd rather dedicate this time to school. Those who were there when I died at ice cave, enjoy what you managed to pick up. I'm thankful in a way that this happened to me; it made me realize what is truly important in life: education. An online game will not put food on the table. I know many of you may be thinking this is a joke, but it's not. I will post my bank soon. I might have a drop party, to make others feel better I guess. I will also log in every few months, not to play, but to keep my account from being reset. Until then, it's been great knowing you guys, I've met many great people on RS. RS taught me many things: it taught me persistance and determination to get my goals done. But it also harmed me; because of RS I saw my average drop by about 10%, an average which used to be in the 90's, and I can't believe I didn't quit sooner, but then again, it's better late then never... . Just when I was about to log off, I decided to drop some stuff. One person didn't believe me, so I took out 10K steel arrows, put up in trade screen, and he declined. I later realized that he didn't care about the money. We talked a little, a crowd of beggers formed around us, and he convinced me to periodically keep playing. This came as a surprise to me; I was convinced most people wouldn't care; they'd just take the stuff, leave, and never think about it again. So anyways, I'll stick around Tip.it, RS Community, and RSFAQ. Later guys. Time on RS: February 2004 - April 1, 2005. Goals achieved: Blue Partyhat, 85 mining, 75+ range on F2P. RSN: Evil_Eye_69 Drop party pending. :(
