I totally agree with the "Runescape Dinosaur" article. Even though people would probably consider me a noob, since I've only been playing for 7 months, in those 7 months, needless to say, I've become addicted. What first started as a distraction while my boyfriend (who would be considered, alumni to this game as long as he has been playing) manifested itself to a healthy obsession. Yes the first two months were 12 hour days, but this game has become so monstrous in activities. Combat, quests, money making, meeting random people, I can literally get on whenever and find something interesting to do. Of course, now I'm at the point where I can't gain 30 levels in one day. The 50k xp to my next attack level is depressing, and yes I have looked at level 99 and the required experience, but that's another topic altogether. Looking at other players who I've met, who dabble in this and that when the mood strikes them, and standing around shooting the breeze asking for handouts and getting money to immediately blowing it on whatever strikes their mood. (the same people that drive you nuts when trying to beat you at mining or killing whatever you are training on) it makes me wish for a world for serious gamers, or gamers who are considerate. I still have the greatest pet peeve of being in a highly wanted area first and then having a stream of people driving me nuts so they can have it. If I jump worlds for 20 minutes they can too. Maybe a world based on age? Maturity comes with age, how about a world where your given age is a requirement? ...oh it seems I have babbled on to something completely different... Can this being my first post be an excuse? ;)
