back when i first became a member i found that i was getting addicted to rs... with my parents not allowing me to play, i was getting up at 1am (when they were asleep) to play and often playing till 5am, then having only 2-3 hours of sleep before i had to get up for school #-o after my grades went down and i was called into guidance i realised that i would have to change and severely reduce my time spent on the game even though i still play rs quite a bit, i am more able to control myself and get sleep : and my grades are much better, im paying attention in class, and i am mostly top in my classes \ i think runescape has been a defining factor in my life, and i dont regret ever playing it (except maybe late at night)
