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.

 

 

 

Ya and if ur 14 or 15 or 16 its fine to run away. but if ur older you dont need to be afraid of strangers \

 

if someone lied to me over rs and turned out to be someone else etc i would kick/ban them IRL O:)

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

 

 

 

That's a big IF there :P.

 

 

 

 

 

For me, no. I don't like to mix RL with RS and not just because it can be considered a death wish for my social life to be known playing ;).

I still value my life.

 

 

 

Like many others said, its risky. Some could be safe while some could be deadly, we dont know and I dont want to find out the "hard way".

never for the reasons mentioned in your blog, it was so obvious that you and the girl were lacking in the social department if you went to bed together after meeting on runescape, why not just go out on the pull?! jesus it's a bit odd.

I would never consider meeting people irl. Not just because of risks that they could be a 40 year old man who is only interested in the bottom half of your body, but just because I dont care about who they are in real life, just that they are a nice person in the game. Now, meeting a new person IRL and then finding out they play rs is different, and I'm fine with that.

 

 

 

Frankly I'm indifferent about whether others meet irl, since it doesn't concern me. Let them meet, its their life. Just if they dissappear and are found 3 days later in pieces in a plastic bag off an interstate highway, let the lesson be learned. Not that all meetings end like that, but usually a meeting with another person ruins the image you get of them. If you're a girl and imagine the other person to be a hot romantic guy with a beautiful face, just be ready to be sadly dissappointed by their looks.

 

 

 

LOL, exactly. You'r gonna get raep. :wink:

the more i read the replies from the various posters the more im bending to believe that the general population under 18 are introverted, and if not so, more likely to become introverted.

If you wanna get raped... :lol:

 

 

 

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

Uhh...What?

 

He only knows rl friends that play RS.

I only met rl people like my friends/neighours/family

Very risky..... summing it up. Although having said that it is not something I am totally against, but it is very risky!

 

 

 

I have some friends in this game I know have met up in real life, and good for them :) they are great friends and I trust both of them very well, but never the less on an online environment it is very risky.

 

 

 

(am I saying very risky too much?)

 

 

 

Basically I think it comes down to the maturity of the people doing it, and their ability to spot danger coming (worst case scenario) it is defiantly not something I would recomend sombody to do , and would actually recomend not too...... but it's not such a bad thing....

 

 

 

very risky though...

I've never intentionally met anyone but have a strange story lol.

 

Met a newb asking for help, gave him a bunch of iron stuff and added eachother, I always do but usually never hear from them again. Chatted and I helped him out a bunch. Went to uni and got a gf there, her younger brother turned out to be the newb I'd been helping!! That was wierd.

 

 

 

I've met a few people from the internet before but not RS, you can prove it and shouldn't until your comfortable with it. I have a few mates on RS I've never met but would, been mates for over 2 years, etc.

I've thought about it before.... It would be a bit wierd, but kinda cool all the same. Though there's only like 2 people I'd even consider doing that with, unless it was something like the TIF Con. idea.

I don't trust a lot of the people when they tell me they are my age. Oh, and I don't want to meet the people on rs, I want to meet the people on some other games I play. I have more friends who still play on there ^_^.

If your over 18 - it is your choice.

 

if you are under 18 it is your parents choice.

 

 

 

Should pretty much go with that.

 

 

 

I met someone from runescape, I saw her on a webcam, spoke to her on the phone etc. Everything she told me was a lie (her age, her life story) so even looks and voices can be deceiving. But it is your own choice if you are over 18

never for the reasons mentioned in your blog, it was so obvious that you and the girl were lacking in the social department if you went to bed together after meeting on runescape, why not just go out on the pull?! jesus it's a bit odd.

 

 

 

Hmm..

 

 

 

You don't know either of us to pass on comments like that, considering we're both quite the opposite.

 

 

 

I can understand where people are coming from though.

If you're over maybe 16 or so. I doubt anything bad will happen if you meet up with someone you met online IRL.

 

If you're younger it's a bit riskier and i wouldn't suggest doing it.

 

 

 

But still, if you're sensible about it...

 

Don't go to their house, go to a public place. Nothing bad can happen.

 

Or maybe take someone, like one of your parents or a big brother or a friend.

 

 

 

- offtopic:

 

3hit! Don't know if you remember me, but we used to do pestcontrol together. You actually invited me to a New years party.. but I don't think you actually had the party since I never heard about it again.

 

Please re-add me ingame.

I usually meet people in real life, and then find out they play Runescape. Has happened a few times, have about 5 friends that are like this.

 

 

 

But, I see no problem with meeting people, and no real need to be all paranoid about it, as long as it's not some random scaper you met 5 minutes ago. #-o

i prefer not since most of you are underaged kids that beg for free stuff

Well. Nice love story.. Reminds me of something... Anyways.

 

 

 

Just make sure you are over 15 years old and use some common sense and meeting up with people you known trough the internet could be really fun and interesting.

 

 

 

I'd say whatever suits your soul. 8-)

Err kinda

 

 

 

A rl friend of mine introduced me on rs to a friend of his. I later met his friend in real life a year later and didn't know it was him until he mentioned rs :XD:

ont know if id want to or not. I might actualy not like many of the people I am friends with in game. On teh internet, differences are not as obvious (things like apperence), we dont know the person, if there popular or not. Also people tend to act much closer to their true nature in a game with people they dont know because there are no real concequences. What you see in game may be a more accurate representation of someone then if you met them in reality. The jerks in game could very well be people who are nice or quiet in real life simply because they arent big enough or confident enough to push real people around. And a bully might be a really nice guy in game because hes not being judged by his peers.

 

 

 

It would be interesting, but I might worry about ingame relationships suffering.

 

 

 

I could also mention that an old friend in game was also a friend of mine from school who was in my class 3 years ago. We were friends for months before we realised we each played game and knew each other. It also showed how different people are in reality and in game. I know I act a bit deifferently, and my friend was even more noticable.

I guess it's plausible... I have some friends I wouldn't mind meeting in person, but none that I could imagine having a sexual interest in. I guess if yall talked and saw each other and it just clicked, why not?

Such inaccuracy.

 

 

 

Meeting people in real life is exactly the same as agreeing to meet someone you met online, in real life.

 

 

 

Your argument is that when you meet people in real life, they can't disguise their appearance. Does that matter? You can't tell a person's intentions from their looks.

 

 

 

Someone you meet in real life can just as easily take out a knife and kill you as someone you met on the Internet.

 

 

 

Basically, there is no difference.

 

 

 

If you think you're meeting a 13 year old girl, and it turns out to a a 40 year old man, then just shoot him. :lol:

Im meeting up with a mate i have known for the last 2 years, he is coming up from victoria to queensland and we are going to all 4 theme parks and playing a bit of rs.

 

 

 

He was supposed to fly up here but recently I said t hi I will drive down there and pick him up, go for a 16 hr road trip with my girlfriend, pick him up and drive back
