JAMjE Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Well I haven't been playing runescape a lot recently and i popped on to see how everyone is doing... but then after having a few chats I realised a few of my close friends had quit :( So then i got to thinking... how do you know when it's your time to quit? There was a time back earlier this year when I thought of quitting but then all my friends convinced me to stay :D Ideas so far..: Bored Addiction So now I pose the question for the final time: How do you know when it's your time to quit...

Alan_1134 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 When I get bored of RS, when I have no free time, or when I get too addicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goobore Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 ...How do you know when it's your time to quit... When you stop having fun. Keep playing as long as you find satisfaction in reaching goals, enjoy time with friends, enjoy skilling, enjoy making money, enjoy challenges. When none of the above are true, then maybe it's time for a break or another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swordwarior Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Quit or take a break? I've never quit before but have taken many breaks, some of them pretty long. I usually don't know when im going to take a break, just get hooked on something until i get bored and come back to rs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwreeTak Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 When you don't think RS is fun to play you should immeidatally stop playing. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebdragon Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 When it hurts to play for more than fifteen minutes at a time. I go insane after the first three, but fifteen should be a decent bar. [if you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.] Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.

Dragon_lord Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I only play Runescape as a way to kill my down-time. If I don't feel like playing for a certain amount of time, I won't. 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.

unkn0wnwarrior Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I will know it is my time to quit when I cannot find interest in the game. But for that to hit, I will need to achieve all of my goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchdreams Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Any of the above. Or, you'll know it's time to quit, when you start blaming Jagex for not having fun on Runescape (updates blow, they only cater to newbs etc). Or, you'll know it's time to quit when you start a new character (for the fifth time) to get that fresh feeling you had when you started this game.

Adam007 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Addiction is never a reason to quit. If you suddenly stop, you might be able to for a few weeks, but you'll eventually start playing again with even more interest and it'll get worse. If you're playing to much, limit your play time each day to an hour or two. By only having a little bit of time a day you'll fall behind and eventually lose interest. The only real way to quit is to feel like there's nothing left for you to do. Then you're done and you don't want to log on anymore, which is different from quitting abruptly.

Promise Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'v tried to quit after getting lured for 16m. It only lasted for about 3 weeks, then i had an urge to play. I find that doing quests will keep you occupied and helps you find new things to do. Btw, just because your bored doesn't mean you should just stare at your bank. Go kill anakou or mutated terror birds or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMjE Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Go kill anakou or mutated terror birds or something.Not always that easy though, especially at high levels when it just bores you I usually splash alot of money when im bored aswell lol null and void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquriez Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 From my experience, most people who truly quit do not just decide to stop playing. They just naturally play less and less, not even thinking much about runescape, until eventually it is out of their lives completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
