I will quit when 1 of theses 2 things are met.

 

1-When i starts to hurt my self or i start to ignore my family and my girl friend.

 

2-When i get on runescape and i realize that i have watsed X amount of years of my life.

Btw, just because your bored doesn't mean you should just stare at your bank. Go kill anakou or mutated terror birds or something.

 

 

 

Are you kidding me? That would be such a waste of time, especially for me.

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.

 

It won't come when you've achieved all your goals, but when you've lost the drive to both finish goals and create new ones.

 

 

 

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.

 

Does anyone have documented anecdotal data of this method working? :-k I've been an advocate for it for a long time, but I'm not sure if the method of suppressing the desire to play by playing less each day is empirically backed up.

 

 

 

Completely agree with your first point- people don't quit from addictions, the most they get from that is a short break : . Of like... three days.

 

 

 

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.

 

That's exactly how it goes. Except in the cases where they find World of Warcraft.

I doubt that. Boredom will most likely be the cause, at least for a permanent quitting of the game. You'll lesson your playing in Scenario 1 (if you're a responsible person), and Scenario 2 could work, but I don't believe it's all that likely to lead to permanently quitting in comparison to the cause of boredom.

 

 

 

Anyone here quit permanently for a reason other than boredom or finding another, more fun MMORPG? It'll help my understanding of the general player process if I can get more data on the subject, as my personal anecdote is merely one example of how to quit, and thus not completely trustworthy for creating an objective opinion.

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

 

 

 

Same with me.

 

 

 

I was waiting for a friend at shantay pass to do a quest. He was getting the requirement level.

 

 

 

I was so bored, i bought 100k Shantay Passes

How do you know when it your time to quit?

 

 

 

When it gets in the way of things that are really more important for you.

When you don't feel like playing anymore, happened to me 2 times already, after a while you might feel like playing again so make sure you buy some rares for a good return ;)

When you want to?

When you figure out that real life friends are better than online ones.

 

 

 

Also when you realize that school dances are a better way to spend 2 hours than "gaining that level X (zOMg)" Learned that tonight, had a great time. That's why I'm quitting. :wink:

When it becomes "Members Only".

 

:wall:

 

 

 

Or it turns into work.

 

:shock:

99 fishing and 99 cooking then i am done with runescape until my kids start playing

I quit because I was bored. I spent all my 13M on construction, thus was bored :(

 

Another factor was lag :evil:

When you ask questions like when I am going to quit.

 

 

 

If you never think of it it will never happen :)

 

 

 

So never for me I hope :pray: :roll: :pray:

about a week ago i quit, i just started getting bored. I found myself, like someone else said, spending more time lookin at my bank and asking myslef "what should i do?" then actually enjoying the game.

Well i think the question is pretty much answered now and its helped me work out that i'm nowhere near quitting yet :D

When your economy starts to run away from u ? Because u sit on the computer all day :uhh:

I think it's every Tuesday or Thursday.

When I get bored of RS, when I have no free time, or when I get too addicted.

 

same here

When you feel bored of the game, or when you become to addicted and it effects your rl.

The answer should be pretty obvious. As with all other games, the time comes to quit when you lose interest in the game, playing the game becomes painful, or when you're bored out of your mind whenever you start to play. This might happen after grinding on a goal for days on end, but that's frustration and no boredom and only means you should try doing something else! For me personally, I'll quit when I can no longer think of reasonable goals (200M XP in every skill is not reasonable) or when I lose interest in the game; but with JAGeX constantly updating the game, that'll probably be never!

I know it's time to quit when I have to get my member ship cancelled.
