Most of us run through Runescape at a blinding pace. We are always calculating xp/gp, xp/hr, gp/hr, or some other crazy ratio that somehow defines how productive we are on this game. We brainstorm and work hard to completely maximize these ratios and then brag and mystify others with these numbers. Then today, I was talking to a friend of mine and I realized I was playing in HD mode. Now, it's not horribly laggy, but you lose a few split seconds every time you teleport or load a new area of the map. I innocently threw a pm to smellysocks to see how he felt and asked: "Do you runecraft in low detail too?", receiving the response that, he too plays in low detail to maximize profits per hour. It was only afterward that I really started to think about my method for playing. It is not wrong, of course, but have I, along with the rest of the "elite" population, completely forgotten about enjoyment in the game and become too lost in numbers? It was only today when I played in HD that I realized just how wonderful the new graphics are and just how much better the area looks, all of these looks I have been sacrificing since HD was released -- and just to get a measly 500 more xp or one more trip per hour. This made me think of the last one-player RPG I got into, Oblivion. When I run around in that game, I just wander aimlessly around the beautiful landscape, talking to whoever I run into and killing them if they rub me the wrong way. I never give a thought to levels or how quickly I am going-- but rather play the game for what it is. Now, there is no right or wrong way to play the game, but I encourage you to just stop and think. You might scare yourself.
