For me, I think that the community matters quite a lot to the reason why I'm still playing Runescape after I stopped playing RS for like... mmhhh... 3 months... Well... For the past three months... I have finally stopped playing RS after playing RS for like 2 years continually... Probably I got too bored of RS and I switched to Maple Story... I was crazy about Maple for the three months... Spending money on the cards when I can't even bare to spent just a few dollars a month to be a member on RS but nevermind... ... When I'm playing Maple... I can jolly well just don't talk for the whole day that I'm playing Maple unless I'm selling or buying stuffs... But yah... I have just a couple of friends playing in Maple so that explains the reasons why I hardly chat but it's different in RS... People chat whenever or wherever they are... Probably mainly because they don't have to keep on clicking or pressing the keys to move their characters... But I find players in RS much friendly or much chatty compared to Maple... But that means the chances of me being called a noob is higher... LOL -.- But it's easy to dealt with when they called you noob... Just reply them with a "Who cares if I'm a noob?" and they have nothing to reply you with. :XD: Another reason why I'm playing RS it's because it's much easier to level up in RS... Compared to Maple when you can just simply spent a few hours just to level up when you are around level 20+... Unlike RS when it only takes me 2 hours to level up from level 5+ to level 25 : Also there are much more ways to earn money in RS other than fighting and collecting the items that the monsters dropped like in Maple... One last reason for me to keep on playing RS is that I knew lots of stuffs about RS... Especially the quests for the non-members thanks to Tip.it guide... Now I can simply do all the quests without referring to the guide unless I forgot some stuffs... :P
