Yeah. Chances are I would've got stuck on something else, poor little me, but if I had never touched it I might have been better.

 

 

 

Either way, time to start to shape up. :P

Grades would be slightly better i guess, although i still wouldn't be bothered about doing homework etc.

 

 

 

But apart from that No.

Although I probably would be less of a "geek" and be more athletic and more social, if I hadn't played RuneScape, I wouldn't have met the TIF community which is awesome and some of my closest rs friends. that would've been a big loss. so i don't regret starting ruenscape

No, I don't regret it. Besides being sleep deprived since Summer began ( :lol: ), I've had no side affects from it. I still play other games, read books, I'm almost a black belt in TaeKwonDo, and I still get all A's and B's in school. You can play Runescape and still have a life.

Yep I regret it a lot, seeing now that I don't even play it.

Yes, but No.. i would say that runescape has ruined my grades from year 7 to the present however i can't just blame it all on runescape. MSN PSX & 2 and my lack of persistence didn't help eigther #-o On the other hand i've met heaps of friends who i still talk to today :D

You guys are weird.. You all made it seem like Runescape is the only game in the world you know. I would not believe if you don't play other games than Runescape. Most of you think of runescape so negatively like "OMG RUNESCAPE RUINS YOUR LIFE QUIT IT NOW", in the end you will still like to play games, so you will find other games that will replace the time you spent on Runescape.

 

 

 

What's the difference then? Why is only Runescape blamed for ruining your lives? Your lives are saved just because you don't play Runescape? Look at all those players that play CS, WoW, DOTA alot, their lives are not ruined? Don't other games you play count at all? Lame thread seriously :roll:

No regrets here I enjoy the game. Throught it I met a relative that I've never seen before. It's a good game. I alternate between rs and gtasa.

 

Gtasa?

 

 

 

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

 

 

 

@On topic

 

 

 

I don't regret playing Runescape, though I do guess I've been slightly addicted to it. Though I guess clans are one of the most important things which kept me going, if it wasn't for them (WoA) I would of probably quit.

If I turned back the clock and had the decision whether to play with hindsight; I would choose not to start playing.

Since playing I have:

 

 

 

Gained 15kg (Now I am FAT not just stocky)

 

Lost friends/Lost Contact with old Friends.

 

Spent lots of money on Membership.

 

Got Angry.

 

Broke a computer.

 

Would rather play Runescape than go to a party

 

 

 

Since Quitting I have:

 

 

 

Lost 4kg (Yay :D)

 

Gained a few friends

 

Gone to lots of partys :D

 

Happier all round.

 

 

 

That is just me though.

 

 

 

Everyone has their own opinions.

Yes I regret it at this moment in time. Mainly because I have 3 important exams next week and still I play RS :wall:

A few times yes, I have regretted that I started to play Rs. But It actually increased my knowledge with the computer, and I always wanted to be an artist, or something along those lines. So I learned the basics of paint, then moved up a level to Gimp, creating graphics. Even though I only started using The Gimp at the beginning of May, The knowledge I have gained from it can lead to a future more fulfilling than without knowing different ways of creating art. O:)

 

(might be offtopic a little.)

I am of the position that regret is something everyone feels a tinge of, surely, having played runescape, having missed out on opportunities in real life one could otherwise have gotten had he or she not played runescape.

 

But of course the amount of regret one feels varies from person to person, and that is why we have people proclaiming NO, they do not feel regret at all :-w

 

 

 

Personally the amount of regret I had for Runescape changed from time to time. 2 years ago I regretted wasting so much time on Runescape (despite having a proper social and school life), but now my perspectives on life have changed to that of a more mature O:) one, I would say currently for me I do not regret having played Runescape, but of course feel regret for the moments it has cost me :-#

 

 

 

Now I am not going to be the one to stand out and like all before me say that Runescape has improved my computer knowledge, English, online social network, networking skills, marketing knowledge, bargaining techniques, reaction time etc. But I do believe that Runescape has been advantageous for me.

 

 

 

Having said that I do believe this is one of the few rare inquisitive topics that are on-topic, so kudos to the thread starter :-w

This topic of mine was popular for a just a small bit of time and died down quick as I even forgot about it for a little while, but I was reminded of it when I read this threadand I thought I'd post it on here. It seems that this player definitely isn't 'Regretting RuneScape'

Thanks for the kudos gifted22yeah. They're yummy! :D Though I would've preferred cookies. lol

Not at all, i enjoy myself on rs. If you dont enjoy yourself when playing rs you have some problems, pretty much anyone saying yes obviously got addicted in a bad way.. or they're trying to look cool by quitting rs, having said that after quitting a game spending time on a forum associated with it is just as "sad".

 

 

 

Rs has not affected my school work, i have never not done work or anything in my life so i could play rs, if i have free time which would be spent watching tv/doing nothing interesting thats when i play rs. If everyone does this we have have no problem, i can't imagine someone not revising for an exam so they could play rs..

I understand that people enjoy themselves when they play, as I do everytime. I'm just wondering how many people out there every think about if their life might be better or atleast different.

I always regret RS, and wonder what it would be like to not play, but, I couldnt really find anything better to do, some people just like 1 game and like to stick with it, while others will play 5,6, or even 7 different computer/console games in a sitting, Ill play 1.

Yes.

 

 

 

I quit 2 days ago, and I've realised what a waste of 2 years.

 

actually, I always was realising I was wasting my time.

 

 

 

There are much better things to do.

ever since i started playing rs (almost 3 years)

 

- I sleep less

 

- I drink more

 

- I hardly see any friends

 

- I stopped reading books

 

- I hardly see any movies

 

- I cant satisfy my girl

 

 

 

No, i dont think i regret i started playing this game :D (self destruction anyone?)

nope i love this game

errm yeah, but i regret most things i do, thinking hnow much money irl i couldve made. Will regret most things till i'm 18, when in can finally go to uni or get a proper job but until then in guess i visit friends, play football and play RS.

 

Admittidly, RS has had an impact on my schoolwork-effort has dropped, but im still hitting A's/ A*s cept in french which i

 

[hide] :-w [/code][/hide]

it hasnt affected my grades or job but yes i totally do

No.

 

I play plenty of other games, and do plenty of other things. School, family and friends come before games any day.

No. It's relaxing :) (I play it to much sometimes though :-$ :P )
