DarkDude Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 For ppl who r addicted probably have no friend or social life (no offense) I mean look at it. Ur playing 2-3 hours a day. For the year that is 912.5hours on average. That is a lot!!! And to be dreaming about it is really insane (u might want to go to an assylum)   I only play like 30min a day at most. School is from 8 to 3pm. 3 hours is rs  that is 6pm. U eat dinner. 6:30. Do homework 8. Watch tv or more rs 10 Go to sleep. That is wrong!!!   mine: School 8-3 hang out with friends play sports/ in winter go to gym 7pm HW 8-9 rs go to sleep    THere r other things in life than playing a virtual game. Wat i do in game is have fun like fite in wild and pwn ppl. Wat obbsessed ppl do is click on ore until level 99! Its not fun doing this. 90% quit when they get level 70. Ppl who get 99 show off but in the inside regret it. I just fite in wild to have fun. Games r about fun. Id rather play other games if it was only having to click on an ore or do a skill.   How about you spend some of that time taking some grammar lessons and learning how to type correctly. Secondly, please don't speak unless you know what you're talking about. People can have fun in a way that's different to the way you have fun, also some of us don't have 9 o'clock bed times like you appear to. Now, just because you're a pre-teen (or early teen) doesn't mean we all are, personally I'm at university every day of the week, averaging about 4 hours a day of lectures and another couple of hours doing work at university. When I get home I spend another few hours each night doing work, I spend a few hours "hanging out" with my flatmates and other friends, yet I'd still have time for a few hours of Runescape each day easily, I could probably do some of my work while playing Runescape, it requires that little attention at times.   I personally have 3 99s, and am about a week or two away from my 4th, I'm not tired of the game, I don't regret getting those 99s.

Stakor Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I belive I could say I'm addicted, although, that isn't some big problem to me.   When I see that something is going wrong because of it, I can easly say "Ill stop!" and, well, quit. Was addicted to many things, everything ended when I saw what is it doing with me and/or my life.   So yeah, I'm addicted. I can stop playing whenever I want, though. Due to excessive feedback we have decided to raise the maximum amount one may stake to 5,000 coins, keeping people who prefer the arena the way it was before the update satisfied!

Invisible_Kid Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I used to be very addicted to Runescape. When I get come back home at school, I'll turn on the computer and start playing. I guess it's because of the goals that I made. I really don't like putting behind what I already started, and that applies in real life too. I still go out with friends and have quality time. But then school got harder because I was taking AP/IB classes so I eventually had to quit (2 years)..but I already achieved my goal. :lol:    Oh yeah...thanks to Runescape I learned to write using left and right hands. Stringing magic long bows using right hand, while left hand is doing homework. I guess my brain was split in half too. :lol: |Cancer Survivor|2 years ago...She was a stalker?!!?http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5394/s ... adyjh8.pnghttp://img45.imageshack.us/img45/4107/s ... dy2lp0.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsaneChef Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Definition of Addiction A physiological and psychological compulsion for a habit-forming substance. In extreme cases, an addiction may become an overwhelming obsession.   It's all a matter of opinion if someone is addicted or not. I go to school, go to work, play runescape, sleep. I go out on Friday night, get drunk, crash at a friends house, hang out there all saturday/goto the gym and then go home on Sunday, at which I spend pretty much the whole day doing coursework and playing runescape. Am I addicted? Yes. Am I ashamed? No. Do I let it ruin my life? No. I don't care whether I have a social life or not, I'm not really a social life kinda guy. I go out with my friends, I goto concerts, I play runescape.    I'm happy. Runescape player since 6th November, 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I define addiction when you play Runescape in the way of more important activities. If you play Runescape during all of your spare time, you still are not addicted, but you are on the borderline, so be careful not to let your time playing push into more important things. The only issue is when you are generating spare time for Runescape (eg you are unemployed because of RS). But then it is not really spare time. You are then addicted. You should be going out, perhaps get a job or a hobby or something, simply to then order what really is your spare time (3-4 hours a day is ideal) and what isn't. I'm pretty sure that I'm not addicted. I've given up temporarily, because I have studies and thus practically no spare time.   The definition of addiction is very ambiguous, but I simply follow my own definition, whether it is completely true or not.   Besides, I enjoy what I want to enjoy, and RS isn't the only thing that I enjoy. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahila Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 ugh i'm so sick of people making these "addiction" threads. For some reason the creators of these threads think that everyone is addicted to rs and forget that people play it for fun.   I mean come on now, can't you just give it up and let the people play the game how they choose? i'm pretty sure most people can tell when theyre addicted, and also, why do you care?   Last but not least, you cannot define addiction as "oh if you play X hours a day your addicted." you cannot decide when addiction occurs for anyone but yourself. http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLancer Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I used to dream RS, so its safe to say I was in an addiction. Not anymore and haven't been for hmm 4 years or so.   Yeah, this is quite sad to admit but when I was addicted to this game about 4-5 years ago, I had some stupid dreams like walking in the dwarven mines and picking up unreleased items like adamantite square shields, etc... And actually logged in after I woke up to see if was real :oops:   Back then, though, games that were fully MMORPG (and not just online-playable RPG's like Diablo which could be only played by about 8 people at the same time) were brand new, tons of people got hooked on them, including me...
