If anything, runescape DOES help young kids (mostly 16+) because think of it this way. I get paid 400$ a paycheck. i pay 5 dollars for members. i pay 40 a week for drinks or food or both. i have 355$ left. i store 300 in my bank, 55 left for w.e i want. i do this until 18. OMG! I CAN AFFORD MY OWN CAR! apartment.. w.e i want. If i didnt play runescape... i get paid 400$. i spend it all on girlfreinds and freinds who probably wont pay if i ask them to take me somewhere and pay for it. im 18. im still broke because I spent it all on freinds and girlfreinds? i mean, if you enjoy playing runescape, work out every now and then, go to work, all that, why not? its better then doing that and spedning all your hard earned money on freinds that you probably arent going to see after high school anyway right? If you do like friends, make some runescape friends... i mean you dont have to spend your irl money on them right?
