It would be really akward

~Many happy couples have met through the game. As long as you're safe, and you meet in public (so there are witnesses, if there needs to be for whatever reason, =S) then i see no reason why it's not okay.~

Nah, its rare i find somebody who doesnt stereotype me for stupid reasons like the music i listen to which most of this forum does.

 

 

 

Plus the way i dress etc, id get called scene or something, when im not.

 

 

 

Id rather just go meet people off myspace which i do all the time anyways since 75%+ of this forum is fake anyways.

 

 

 

Lmao, you sound liek me i don't see a problem in meeting a person from an mmorpg, just meet em in a place with tonnes of people, might be slightly awkward though \

Only one person from RuneScape that I'd ever consider meeting. And we've been friends through the game and on MSN for 3-ish years now. Though it's not really something I'd go out of my way to do. It'd probably be rather awkward though.

 

 

 

I find that people generally change their personality when online.

I have always thought it would be cool if somewhere in the US there was a RuneCon or something like that.

 

 

 

For most other games they have one, but I guess since Jagex is based in the UK there could never been an official one.

I have actually met quite many persons from rs irl, becouse i made most of my friends irl to start playing runescape. But only one of them really got in to the game and even became better then me :oops:

if your that desperate

It really all depends on how much you know the person on RS, do you trust them etc, and sometimes it might just be very unsafe! Although me and 2 other people i met over RS and have added each other on msn,bebo etc have been meening to meet up some time also we do live not too far from each other, so in that case i wouldn't mind.

it's a bad idea. for anyone under 18 to go anywhere and meet someone they met online without notifying their parents is just asking for problems. big time problems! real world problems. even if you are over 18, you just dont know who you'll meet or what they'll try to do. it's really bad news. if you had to, take another adult or parent with you, but it's just a bad idea. and always meet people in a public place where there are lots of people. no matter what you think, how responsible you are or how much you think you can take care of yourself, you just never know and better safe then sorry. and i can just imagine how grief stricken your parents would be if you did end up hurt or seriously injured in any way and them trying to find clues to where you went etc. just a terrible idea that should NOT be encouraged.

 

 

 

and there are people that would take advantage of something like this and would hurt you so i'm going to say absolutely do NOT even consider this and if you did never go alone and take with you at least 1 adult and always meet in a public place where there's lots of people. again, it's just a horrible idea so do not meet up with anyone you've met online if you're under 18. and even if you are over 18 do not do this unless you take very serious precautions and even then i do not recommend it at all. and i think it is irresponsible to post about this without considering all the unknowns and real possiblities and consequences.

 

 

 

i would hate, very much, for anyone to be lured by a complete stranger and then injured or worse. that is a real possiblity nowadays and dont take that risk. there are people out there that will take advantage of those that do. and i think this belongs in off-topic or deleted from the boards.

Meeting people you met over the internets is very common, but hopefully many of them aren't going alone to the meetings. Who knows? Looks like you and Rachel had a nice time together :) Nice to read that. But sure, if you live kinda close, and know eachother well. Go for it :) Might bring you closer...

Uhh.. I was going to meet someone, but only because

 

 

 

1. He went to a school near to me

 

2. My friends from his school knew him (so he is really a person my age)

 

3. We liked all the same things.

 

 

 

Still havent met him yet

I think it's insecure, even though I met a guy myself once. It was outside school and had a group of friends around and it was all safe (good guy), I got nothing against it.

 

Though tbh alot of people don't got prepared for the worst, and if that's the case then well I guess I'd have to advise you all not to meet people from RS unless you're ready for whatever may come. Your safety matters :?

yeah and there are those people that will say stuff like "my car wont start, so meet me at the park" and then there they are, with their car, that runs fine, at the park. or they'll try any form of lying and manipulation to get you away from a public place and/or for you to go alone. it's a bad bad idea and there are those people just waiting for people that would take the risk. do not do this.

Wow. You're really passionate about this.

i haven't met any that people are aside from my friends

W\e it's cool by me if you've known the best for a while. Not like a week or so.

i haven't met any that people are aside from my friends

Uhh...What?

if your an adult its your choice (if your meeting another adult)

 

 

 

if your kids meeting each other i dont necisaraly like it i know i wouldnt do it (unless they went to my school)

Im ok with people meeting each other if you have talked using some device (to confirm things ie. gender and age) and that you have been friend online for quite a while. Nice story btw.

I have never met someone from RS irl, but I would like to. I think it's a great way to make irl friends :)

Throughout the years, I've seen three people at my school play Runescape. All three looked like the typical description of nerd. One of them had very little height, chubby, had big glasses, would get picked on by other kids, had low self confidence, etc. The other two were tall, had pimples all over their face, spend their days talking about video games, and playing them, they had a horribly nerdy and ugly clothes, radically unkept hair, etc.

 

 

 

Lol really, you don't want to meet people who play Runescape.

 

 

 

And I assume you're also fat and nerdy, get picked on, and have low self esteem?

They can do what they want, really. Just remember of the risk.

I wouldn't want to, even if they were my clanmates. It's just too risky.

My best friend since 1st grade or so I met last year in runescape lol.

 

 

 

Every since RSC I have just like completely kept RS a secret, as another kid in my school played and got made fun of.

 

 

 

But it was weird cause I was mining and this kid comes up to me "Hey! do you live in texas?" (Reference to my name). So of course I say yes, and then he asks what city, and we lived in same city.

 

 

 

After a few questions about what school we went to, what grade we are in, etc. I finally asked what his name was and sure enough it was my friend Jim lol.

 

 

 

Its pretty freaky though, cause I didn't know he played either. And he has been playing since RSC too. Talk about keeping a secret :-k Makes me wonder.

If I could get over the awkwardness, then I guess it would be interesting.
