I play Runescape whenever i have free time.

 

In the evenings i go to the pub with my mates, when i get home i could watch tv, or play runescape. I suppose both are a waste of time but at least with Runescape you get the feeling that you acheive something.

 

I love the game and i must admit i do play until the early hours of the morning, but i have a life outside it.. i'm sure everyone does!

 

I see my irl friends more than i play Runescape, thankfully!

P2P offers more and better ways of making money than f2p. That's one of the cons you just have to play with if you don't feel like having 1 bigmac meal less per month.

Mmm, I read a lot, play trombone, draw (badly <.< ), have good friends, 3.8 GPA....

 

 

 

I think that's a life. A perty dang good one, too. I'm probably on this forum more often than I acctually play.

 

 

 

Oh, and I also make paper frogs.

I'd call myself an addict. My obsession for RS is somewhat on the unhealthy side. BUT, I play soccer, I'm playing tennis, I run, I have great grades at school, I have a girlfriend.... so I'm able to live with my addiction.

 

I'd say I have a life :P

As I think about it...no. I played football twice last week, but mainly stayed inside and played. Could be worse, though...my friend is...um, how should I put this...she's a drug-and-sex addict. Yeah...could be worse!

Still alive, still alive.

I could be an adict but at least I know when I need to stop playing. I know when I need exercise and even if I'm in the middle of training I will stop.

Wow, you guys have great arguments.

If "No life" is not doing drugs, getting drunk, and being pregant at 13 years of age... I would rather have 'no life' :?

 

Wow, talk about being in denial. Defensive much?

 

The guy's example was pretty much my definition of a balanced life...just play RuneScape if your spare time. But he claims himself he has no life, yet he does, so I can't really imagene what a 'life' to him would be like...

Guys stop being so defensive here.. NOBODY is accusing you of not having a life so stop defending yourself with "i have gf, i am top soccer player in class blah blah blah" like anyone cares anyway. There is no way to determine whether you are lying or not as well. No point in this.

 

 

 

I will have to agree with dharockslayer's post. Does playing only Runescape associates you near the term "no-life"? What about other MMOs? If instead of RS you play ps2 all day, you have a life? The term "no-life" is how you define it and that's no way you should judge a person negatively even from your point of view you claim him/her to be a no-lifer. Seriously, all these whether you-have-a-life-or-not threads irritate me the most.

Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

I'll agree with that, I guess it varies a lot though, depending on how much you actually socialise with people in game. If you devote your hours to skills without conversations then some people might consider that to be a bit socially suspect but others won't. It's all subjective :anxious:

 

 

 

But RS is arguably as anti-social as MSN or AIM, and I don't see many people saying "get off MSN or Facebook you no-lifer" in the same way people seem to scorn RS, maybe I'm just not looking in the right places for that sort of banter, not that I'm interested :notalk:

My life rocks by the way. 8-)

Pretty much what Dragon said.

Thread terminated.

I guess that means I'm the thread Terminator?

you are have a point, being #1 in your school for soccer/tennis/baseball/basketball/football means nothing about having a life, as long as your not anti-social and live in a room talking to no one. just playing runescape or any other game really gets down to not having a social life. which is what this whole thing is about, social life.

 

do you goto school or work and just say hi to a few people? you then have a social life, you are being friendly and civil to other humans and respectful to them as a living individual.

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, you guys have great arguments.

wow, i could only imagine if hitler actually said that.

Yeah, I didn't really follow what you were saying. I was just on his case for the reasons just mentioned though. What that guy said was just a fallacious defense mechanism he's using, because it seems he doesn't have much of a social life, so instead of admitting to it or lying about it he just attacked the notion of social lives in general.

Well, I'm smartest in my grade, play bass, do volunteer work in the parks, have very few friends because of my beliefs concerning society, am lvl 94, have a 1367 total, and play several hours a day. No, I don't have a life. The only people with lives are the people who commit suicide because they broke up, or wore the wrong cloths to a dance, the people who's only concern is weither their parents will let them go to a party. Those are the people with lives.

 

 

 

 

 

*End the sarcasim*

There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves.

Well i'm not gonna start lieing about being the best footballer in my class or whatever like most of these have. I'm reasonably sporty. I prefer man v man games like tennis and badminton then also enjoy rock climbing, trampolining and ANY water sports.

 

 

 

I do have a social life but I don't like going out when there is nothing to do. I'd much rather play RS than sit outside blockbusters (Which is what we usually end up doing) I admit i do go on the computer too much and my grades have greatly suffered from it.

 

 

 

I put the least important thing first and i've always realised that but never stopped myself, strange i know. But i still wouldn't call myself addicted. I just hate revision/homework because it's boring and i don't enjoy it. I think first about what's fun and what i'd like to do and not what will get me somewhere.

So, do you think addicts to Runescape have no life? I, for one, do hve a life. I play soccer for my state. Its great, but in my spear time I play Runescape. So, most addicts DO have a life. Do you?

 

You've contradicted yourself. If you play in your spare time, then you're not an addict, you have a balance.

 

If someone plays any game for more than 12+ hours a day, then I'd guess that would constitute as 'no-life' - whatever that means. Basically, they need to get out more, it's not healthy.

 

Different people have different amounts of spare time, but if anyone goes on 12+ hours a day everyday over doing anything else, i guess it is

I never had an interest in sports, probably because I was never any good at them. I quit Boy Scouts. I got sick of people in general. RuneScape was something I happened to be good at, and people would largely leave me alone yet I could ask them for assistance when I needed it, and vice-versa. That was a big chunk of why I liked it: The other is that it was just something to do when I was bored. It didn't stop me from leaving the house, but I quickly found that (as I'd predicted) there simply wasn't anybody to DO anything WITH, and so any plans I had of getting a life were thoroughly disseminated. I turned back to the game and turned my back on ninety-nine percent of the world.

 

 

 

I'm an addict, and I have no life. It's probably less due to RuneScape than it is to my crappy attitude toward a lot of things and people, or maybe the fact that I'm simply too strange for anyone in the real world to accept without explaining myself to them. Maybe both.

 

 

 

You guys get on with your lives. Don't be like me. Don't become like me. Quit this game while you have the willpower.
