Sure, there are some "nerds" that play RS. But then again, what is a nerd? I would not consider myself a nerd, as i would never sacrifice my social life for this game. I play roughly 6 hours a week, give or take. I play sports, have lots of friends, ect. So as an answer to your question, people play RS. Regular normal people. Although at school i was in the library and i saw this guy who looked about 60+ playing RS on the comp :?
