Ditto. I started playing in spring '05 and I mean I played everyday after school for hours and hours. I didn't hang out with friends much, didn't do any activities besides Runescape. But 3 months ago I find an answer in myself. I figured out that my life is going downhill while I play Runescape. My grades in college were sliding down, I had very few friends, and I didn't have anything else to do. I decided to quit Runescape and see what happens. So I sold everything in my bank for a blue partyhat(which was stolen later, but i don't care anymore) and quit. Now I live a fulfilled life. I play guitar, I go to the gym, I work A LOT, I hang out with friends and school of course. Runescape gains you nothing, it's a complete waste of time.
