Hi. I'm addicted to runescape too. I began in middle school, and I was in Gifted and Talented classes. For 3 years, I had the highest grade in my math class, and I finished middle school without ever making a B. In high school, I maintained a 108.1 GPA (we did the 100 point scale) and graduated second in my class of 300. From there, I applied to (and was accepted) to Duke University. Because I applied early decision, I didn't have to apply anywhere else. At Duke, I am double majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics. I am active in intramural sports, my church youth group, an outdoor camping organization (mainly hipsters), and I still have time to go out from time to time. I just broke up with my girlfriend of a year and a half because of the distance, and I really regret it. I think we should date again. So, I think time management, not runescape, is the problem. There are plenty of other people who never played this game, and they did poorly because they spent all their time watching television, or doing drugs, or chasing women. Stop blaming the game for your poorly spent time.
