myself117 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 So, I was wondering, why do people choose to do the things they do in Runescape, I mean, theres SO much you can do, why do people choose the things they do Money? Skilling? Entertainment? Competition or maybe because they enjoy doing those things in real life? I remeber when i first started I didnt usually fight, instead I would mine and smith because in real life, I have a fascination with blacksmiths from around this time era, I mean, it was amazing what they knew and how they worked back then, its mind boggling. From there I decided to train cooking because I love cooking [although I cant really make much more than mac and cheese and speghetti :lol: ] But at least in runescape I could be good at cooking. \ But I was just thinking about this today, do people fish because they enjoy fishing in real life? or just for money? Smith because they like the idea that they can make armour and wepons with their hands, or just for money? So, tell me, why do YOU do the things you do in game?

Voldmort0 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I mostly train slayer/regular combat, Herblore and Farming. I do it mostly to achieve goals I set for myself, and to have fun, since I enjoy all of those things. Sometimes also for cash, and also for competition obviously :wink: Runescaper since June 2005Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwolf06 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 For fun, I like seeing a new thing to do when I can. Competition? Nah I'm not good at competeting!!! Money? Never have enough !! :XD: So I guess it's skills, I like seeing them grow, I like knowing I can kill more monsters when I slay, or id'ing new herbs when I gain a level. Plus entertainment, because after all thats what a game is there for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAncient Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Because I am: 1) richer, stronger than the average player 2) in such a position that I can help people without worrying about my own bank account 3) able to discover efficient ways to do things in the game (feels like making a scientific discovery) Ever wanted to find street prices of RS items?

Dragon_lord Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 The main reason I started playing Runescape was to kill some down-time. Now I just play it for fun, whenever my mates are on, I log in and we go do something together...Just running around in pointless circles. :mrgreen: Pretty much what Dragon said.Thread terminated.I guess that means I'm the thread Terminator? No Tip.Iters were harmed in the making of this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
