*!* In RS, what do friends mean to you? *!*

[Tijger2099]

As we all know Runescape is a MMO, which means that you play with alot of other people at the same time, easy as that. During your rs carreer, lasting from a few weeks to a few years you have obviously met quiet alot of people, probably thousands. When you get some of these people to know better you become friends, maybe for a few days, or maybe even years.

 

 

 

Except with just chatting with one another when you get bored there's lots of other things that you have probably done together, quests, minigames and....training skills. (however it seems that with certain skills we prefer to be alone rather than having people around :P).

 

 

 

Without friends I guess you wouldn't have been playing rs for as long as you are playing now, at least I wouldn't. I can't seem to step away from rs, since to me it means leaving my friends I've known for years.

 

 

 

So know for the discussion, what do friends mean in RS mean to you?

[Danqazmlp]

People who can back me up when i find an arrogant team in cw :XD:

 

 

 

Without friends, rs would be boring, as you wouldn't be able to talk about rs with anybody really.

[lchaosl]

People I know in real life or someone I've talked to on ventrilo or teamspeak for awhile. I don't have any friends on runescape that don't go into one of those categories.

[BloodfleshX]

Might sound silly, but generally I am too shy to strike up a conversation with anyone near me. :oops: What friends I had on Runescape were real life friends, but many of them are long gone.

[retaxis2]

nothing

[Isabelle]

I had a lot of friends but slowly they either forgot who I was/thought I was wierd all of a sudden (wth?) or stopped playing.So now I only have a couple of friends but without friends I agree I probably would stop playing because skilling with people is fun!(sometimes)

[SirHartlar]

I think friends are the most important part of the game, if you don't have them then I can't see how you can last for very long.

[Tijger2099]

Agreed :D

[dorington]

People to go around doing stuff with like Cwars and KBD killing. Also to keep you company if you both have the same goal

[Sea_dragon35]

A lot, the game more fun with good friends.

[anonymouse_]

Not much. They usually beg me to add them, then 2 days later they're asking for free stuff. Hello ignore list :lol:

[Robert_Rdam]

A lot, I always want someone to chat. And want someone to trust. I don't know why, but they mean a lot to me. :D

[nine naked men]

Well, I've always been a loner :oops: , so the only people that I have on my friends list are my clanmates and a couple of my pk teams. Friends in Runescape aren't a necessity, I've done pretty well without them, I don't find playing RS in isolation boring, as I usually just talk to random people while Skilling.

 

 

 

So, friends in RS don't mean much to me, just a source of entertainment. :twisted:

[Lord Diddy]

I guess the type of friend best suited for you is a person who likes the mini games\skills you do, so you can play and train together. Importantly someone who's financially stable (if they are not, they will be more likely to scam you somehow).

[Ebola_Cookie]

Usually people who i've made trades with, given free stuff, or helped. Then they forget me. :(

[Greshalu]

Actualy for about 3 years of game play I have made only 3 real friends on runescape. With whoom even after i stoped playing i still chat via IM and we have a good time. Others were just like hey you leaving van i have your rares can i have your acc and stufff.

[Agunimon979]

Giving me free stuff :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

No, actually my friend is never on Runescape, got his account banned, too many black marks 8-)

Chatting with players for a long time while on for example a slayer assignment can also be called friends in someway :P

Friends don't mean much to me in RS at all... I'm very much of a solo players. Sure, I have loads of people on my friends list but I hardly ever talk to them. I'm not arrogant I just usually have MSN/Forums etc running all at the same time and I find it hard to chat on RS whilst doing

 

everything else.

 

 

 

- Denic.

[Celeste]

When I played friends were cool...they helped me a lot when I played, without em' I woulda always died while training on axes, and not had as near as much fun.. haha.. there are like 4 that I still talk to today even though I quit a long time ago... (hehasnoidea, raver 3, leylen, and i GUESS you can count jakiss)

[wild_goat_14]

Friends make the game fun, without em itd suck.

[blacksimon]

People I can dk with and now have to worry about drops, or about dieing.

 

 

 

People I can train with and have fun with.

 

 

 

People I trust.

[Cabbage_Boii]

Everything,Without friends the game would still be good if you ask me,just definetly not very fun but friends could never leave unless it was a private server.

[Outsanity]

Well, I break my friends down into three categories:

 

 

 

1. Best friends - Only have 3 of these, and I met them long before Runescape when I used to work for a Neopets help site like 6 years ago.

 

 

 

2. Acquaintences - These are the people I met who are really nice and just fun to talk to. Sometimes they tip over into category 3, sometimes not.

 

 

 

3. My "Hook-Ups" - These are the people I rarely talk to, but will use for help. For example, I have a person with 99 Smithing and a person with 99 Crafting who I will have make me things when I need them. (Like furies, Rune Hachets from Runite Bars I get while I slay, etc) And in return, I make them potions, sell them slayer drops, let them use my gilded altar, etc.

 

 

 

Of course, there's those temporary people you add who you are making a trade with or something of the sort, but I don't count them since they get deleted from my list immediately after I am done with them.
