a brief recap and a problem i need help with...

[realtek618]

ok please bare with me here,this is a long post and i need help with this.also mods please show pity on an ex member. :( i know this is alot,and i apologize for it.

 

 

 

 

 

i was formerly known as Zamy mage917 (now locked forever by my own hand).i was an avid RS player and me and my real life friend played constantly.we played the game for fun and it was very enjoyable.are friendship was actually growing just from playing runescape together.well i later found out that i had cancer,it was a very shocking and depressing bit of knowledge to me and it sent me panicking.i told no one of my current condition and all of a sudden my mind was marked only on getting a skill in RS to 99 since that was a goal before,i just didn't want to power level it.i ended up going to fast and working far too hard.my friend also noticed and we slowly drifted away from each other.soon we we're on the brink of no longer being friends and i was only partway to my goal without money.i finally gave up and decided to go to a diffrent game in order to preserve our friendship.

 

 

 

i went to WoW expecting it would be a better game...it wasn't.it was basically horrible for me and i was so sick of it i quit.then after a strange dream in which i remembered all the fun i used to have in RS with my friends i snapped out of it and really wanted to get back into the game,on a whole new start.well turns out my own ambititions affected my friend and he refused to go back to RS stating WoW was the better game :( .

 

 

 

now to the question.please anyone help me convince him RS is the better game,just list anything you can think of that makes it better than WoW.i tried "remember how much fun we used to have?" which didn't work ending with him pointing out any flaw with RS he can find.please help me out :(

He might enjoy playing wow more than runescape, so for him the better game is wow.

 

 

 

You really shouldn't rely on a computer game to have a good friendship. Go speak to your friend and do, um, friend things. Don't even bother trying to convince him.

If he doesnt want to play runescape you cant make him.

 

Sorry to say that but its true.

[realtek618]

well i guess you guys are right.i wish he wasn't so absorbed in WoW though.he hasn't been out of his house in 2 weeks and he's already lost 20 pounds

Okay being addicted is one thing but that...thats just not right, have you talked to his parents or told someone about it? because in the direction hes going he'll surely end up in the hospital or worse.

Go play some multiplayer games with him. And by multiplayer, I mean multiplayer. You might THINK of runescape as a multiplayer game, but in reality, it is a single player game that you play with millions of people.

 

 

 

Go play cards, or hang out in rl, or play some cube or xbox or whatever floats your boat. I know for pretty much fact that you'll have a better relationship with friends you actually hang out with.

 

 

 

That's not to say that runescape friends are bad or anything, just that real life friends are better ;)

 

 

 

But if you really must, I don't know how to convince someone to stop WoW until they realize that it's a waste of time. Sadly, the same is true of RS, sooo...

 

 

 

I try not to sway to either side of the which MMO is better than the other. Each has strengths and weaknesses.

Uhhh this is for in-game help and advice but i would say talk to his parents. If he's addicted to WoW then you have a problem.
