The truth, just quit

[Electrical]

Take a moment to read before you post.

 

 

 

Just cancel your membership for a month and spend time else where. With everyone quitting, Andrew would not be able to pay his mansion mortgage, :lol:, and would be forced to revert Runescape back to his old ways.

 

 

 

Take this update as a wake up call. It's just a game and 90% of you guys are under 18. If you play more than 6 hours daily(aka the Zezima perpetuation) :boohoo:, (sounds like a song to me)then you have no life. Go read a book or something. There is absolutely no skill in this game, just clicking. PM me in about a month and tell me how your life is without RS. If its the same, just keep on playing again then. #-o

 

 

 

Remember how you use to laugh when you hear 40,45+ years old playing this game?(OMG OMG I can't belive it) Well go look in the mirrow, that could be you one day.

 

 

 

You'd be suprise how stupid you think Runescape is after that time span. I don't play like I use too but I log on every now and then to flash my Yellow P-hat around and quitted when RS2 came out. I started playing in Spring 01' w/ great people like(Tiwi, Alchemon, Who Da Best, Muhahahahaha, Robin Hood, Zar Family, Trupimp, XxcavalierxX, Bluerose, etc..) Life's been great, you'll be regretting many moments in your life because of Runescape. (Studying, dating, partying) Have you ever been jealous of someone in (high?) school for their attributes, clothes, or popularity? Its because of Runescape, and too much of it.

 

 

 

Don't take it personally, just instructively.

 

Remember this if anything of my post. You do not need Runescape. Runescape needs you.

 

 

 

Sorry for the long post,

Yeah, because before the plague that is runescape, envy was a scarce trait in high school.

Learn to spell the word mirror before dispensing your wisdom (additionally it's spelled believe and quitted isn't a word). Also Telling people jealousy is borne from playing games is ridiculous. Also telling people what to do (because you are of course the person best placed to tell others what to do) could be construed as rude. Also boo. Also.

[777thzapster]

By telling everyone to just cancel a month so they change it back already tells me something. You like or liked playing this game a lot before the update because you woudln't care if it changed and you just poped in a few seconds to show off your phat. The update doesn't effect anyone that just plays once in a while. It effects the everyday runescaper, so please stop telling everyone how to make a mulit million dollar company go to its knees.

[eggzs]

luckily i bought command and conquer 3...

[ReapMe]

sell your car and your computer and your girlfriend.

 

 

 

dont tell me what to do over the internet.

 

 

 

Would you rather he tell you what to do over the phone?

 

 

 

and why would i give him my phone number? :-s

 

 

 

so he can call you and tell you what to do

[berbatovsky]

Also :mrgreen: :Zezima plays FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAr more than 6 hours a day I assure you, and your average human sleeps for what 50 days a year? If we're looking to maximize our....... well I don't really know what your point is so I can't even finish that :wall:

 

 

 

If i played football for 6 hours a day would I have no life? If i was playing Halo 3 would I have a life? If I was hanging out with my friends on a street corner making fart jokes would I have a life? If i was a cool kid who was popular with everyone but had deep seeded psychological problems that eventually manifest in me murdering small children when I'm 25 do I have a life? Don't try and simplify things and generalize like you have it doesn't work so well.

 

 

 

Edit: that didn't turn out so well sorry, but I think you can understand what I'm getting at.

that doesnt explain why i would give anyone my real life info.

 

 

 

if you do that then thats cool, but i dont.

 

 

 

thats why its over the internet perhaps?

 

if your trying to be sarcastic to my internet command its because he cant communicate with me any other way, so why try and make up something and smile in your chair thinking you served me somehow when your theory makes no sense lol.

[amitoz]

Lol.

[mrpez]

I'm probably going to cancel my membership. I have 3 reasons to play Runescape, and those reasons are my 3 best friends. Here is what happened to them:

 

 

 

Friend #1: Hacked, lost account, doesn't play anymore.

 

Friend #2: Lost millions because of this update, quitting due to boredom.

 

Friend #3: Bored of the game, not on much.

 

 

 

Looks like I don't have a reason to play anymore. I wish I did, I don't want to leave this game, but I can't possibly find fun in it anymore. :?

You take everything way to seriously.

[Electrical]

BBC3 I am not forcing you to quit. Everything you read on the internet you don't have to do. My "theory" does not apply to you, since you don't have anything other than Runescape. So you can keep on playing. Oh darn, sorry, I did it again. I told you "what to do."

 

 

 

Berbatovsky, average person sleeps 8 hours a day, 122 days a year. Quitted is a word and sorry I was typing fast.

 

 

 

777thzapster, I "poped" up now and then not only to play but to talk to my friends.

[rob91488]

How to Quit Runescape Permanently:

 

 

 

1) Change your Recovery Questions to random numbers and or letters that you will not remember later.

 

 

 

2) Wait for your questions to be set. This will ensure that you really DO want to quit and are not just mad temporarily because it takes some time.

 

 

 

3) Cancel your Membership

 

 

 

4) Write a long number on a piece of paper. Change your pass. to this number and then dispose of the paper in any way you see fit.

 

 

 

Why am I posting this? I believe in helping people. I believe that many people still play this game despite not really enjoying it because they are addicted to it. This provided a method to break this addiction. It has worked for me. How so? I will probably be banned for telling you this. Just like the smoking companies hated the fact that they had to put on warning labels. Thanks. :)

You confuse me, obviously you aren't a moron, so why do you post this rubbish? You must of realized that there is no one size fits all 'solution' to life. I wouldn't have responded to your post if you hadn't said (slight paraphrasing) " hey morons!!! Yeh you! this game sucks, go do something else your life will get 'better' "

 

 

 

Also you are telling people what to do, this isn't a theory, its an order (look at the words you used).

[jackal_55]

honestly, i was thinking about quitting long before this update, and since i've started playing rs i've just been getting lazier and more and more unfit.

 

for me, im leaving, even if they do change this update.

This is an issue, people playing games but not taking care of their health, but if you can't motivate yourself to exercise quitting a game wont make any difference (unless of course you were playing Runescape with ALL your spare time, in which case it would be advisable to stop playing or at least cut way down).

[magekillr]

you can have the best of both worlds

 

 

 

why do people always feel that it's all or nothing? (on both sides of the spectrum)?

[deep_pain]

sell your car and your computer and your girlfriend.

 

 

 

dont tell me what to do over the internet.

 

 

 

Would you rather he tell you what to do over the phone?

 

 

 

and why would i give him my phone number? :-s

 

 

 

You keep harping on at the fact you are supposedly an adult.. As many people have said age doesn't always = wisdom.

 

 

 

1st look up sarcasm.

 

 

 

2nd shorten your initial uneccesary post to "don't tell me what to do"

 

 

 

Saying "don't tell me what to do over the internet" implies you are willing to accept being told what to do, through other mediums. ie: the phone.

[SAGE]

Such shenanigans will prove useless. As the current situation is, at a forum I will not name due to advertising rules, there is a forum set up for discussion between certain leaders of clans and Jagex moderators, don't believe me? I don't really care, I have no reason to lie.

 

 

 

Real life trading doesn't just introduce an unfair advantage to the game, and supply players with easy gold pieces and the usual things you think of, there is a larger problem at hand. See, unfortunately these bad eggs who break rules such as real world trading have created a much bigger problem. With accounts being sold, membership, and obviously in-game items, Jagex has to crack down on these things - when they do find proof of membership purchase being fraudulent, or assisted by someone not authorized to do so they refund the payments, as well as when stolen accounts are proven to be not obtained by the original owner at any point, yet again they refund all the membership payments of the time in question. What does this come to, you're probably wondering, and at the same time doubting my honesty and integrity, but it's simple - the companies who deal with the selling of Runescape membership have to refund these payments, it is costing them a lot of money in the long run, especially with such a boom in real life trading, and other illegal activities. The credit card companies were to succumb to an agreement that they would no longer pay for the actions and consequences of their third party consumers and this lead to more serious issues in regaurds to the real life trading, account selling and other "black market" deals of the game which leads you to the update you see today.

 

 

 

Of course it would be ignorant for anyone to say this is the only reason they decided to axe half the game after it existing peacefully for so long - but if you were to put yourself in the position of Andrew Gower, you would be forced to decide between the 5-10% of players who solely play for clanning, or the 15-20% who solely play to merchant, or the 50-70% that pay by debit/credit card. Although this decision was no doubt helped by the recent employment of the former Paypal executive (not to sure on that part, although I know for sure he was high up in their office).

 

 

 

Some things that have been brought up for discussion and reasoning so far are;

 

- If a player has actively been on the friends list for over a month, he or she may be able to receive more value from a trade.

 

- Returning circumstances for the arena, chosen by each clan leader before accepting the battle.

 

- Changes to the Bounty Hunter mini-game, possibly a room where a minimal amount of gear is required to avoid one iteming players.

 

 

 

There are obviously more, but I do not intend on looking through dozens of posts and rethinking the criteria of my own post - but there is still a small bit of hope. They will never "take back" the update, reverse it or any of that nonsense, but such a large impact will obviously not go unchanged after public release; players really need to calm down before proclaiming judgement day and heading for the hills, give them a fair go. I do not like defending Jagex, as even I have not had the fairest history with their customer service and department, but there is no reason for such foolishness.

[Flyingjj]

Electrical, I think you need a little bit of support from someone here, so let me say that I thank you for the advice. I will not follow it, however, as I feel I do not need to. People who get angry at you for just suggesting something are probably just overreacting because of the way the update affected them. And, seriously, if the update affected them so tremendously, they are probably the ones who should follow your advice the most.

 

 

 

To others, you do not have to be angry at his suggestion. Calmly state that you disagree with his opinion rather than just be like "OMG don't tell me what to do!"

 

 

 

Other than that, always remember that it is just a game. At this point, I do not think there is much chance of Jagex removing the updates, so either get used to it or quit and move on in life. Either way, please stop complaining, and take up a bigger cause in life than trying to keep a stupid online game the way you love it.

 

 

 

Oh, there I go giving you advice now. I'm sorry, I should consider your feelings when making my post and not make any suggestions whatsoever.[/sarcasm](really the only way to get my tone across here)

 

 

 

Electrical's post does not necessarily apply to runescape just because of the update, but can be considered independently. He's right, you know. What does runescape mean in the grand scheme of things?

[ernest123456]

Epic post there, Monky.

Nice long analysis but really this thread is telling people to quit because the game makes your quality of life worse and not telling people to quit because of the updates, you might want to Ctrl C, Ctrl V this in one of the other topics that are dealing with the updates more directly.
