JordanGM Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I play Runescape, a lot, and I think I'm getting a bit addicted. I play 5-8 hours a day and I don't even know why. I've been doing this for about two years, and I almost always play RS instead of going out with friends. Most (I'll guess like 70%) of people in my township are stoners and [bleep] who'll [bleep] you for a cigarette. I have a lot of 'normal' friends (not stoners, or not complete stoners) and I don't really hang out with them much anymore. I still talk to them at school, but we don't really hangout afterwards. I'm a freshman, 14 years old (15 in sep) and I'm not ugly or anything. I've had many girlfriends before and it's not like I can't talk to women. Anyways, I'm addicted to Runescape, and I want to quit. I was wondering if anyone knew any ways to kind of force me to. I'll be giving away my accounts to friends and I'll delete the recoveries and everything, but I have a huge feeling I'll just come back. Please, try and convince/give me ideas to quit for good.

amoeba_009 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Delete the recoveries, and tell your friend that you dont want the acc anymore and to cahnge the Pw immidiatley, and under no circumstances to return it. Thats the way i would do it, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakka102 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 its a just agame, quit, if you really want to quit then it shouldnt be hard. and if its hard to quit then you'll come crawling right back. What you need to do is find a hobby that you enjoy more than RS, because thats all RS is is a hobby to kill time, whether it be alot of time or a small amount of time. Even if it means going to hang out with friends all the time, just do something you enjoy more and it will eventually overtake RS as you're main time spender.

rukano Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 if you TRULY want to quit... drop ALL your items delete your recoveries change your password to something you WONT remember. if you have a firewall installed, block of any RS related websites. and the most important one is DONT start playing WoW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGM Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Thanks Wakka and amoeba, any suggestions? EDIT: WOW blows, and I don't plan on playing any other online game once I quit RS, even if I do all that stuff, I'll probably restart playing one day while I'm bored, and then get addicted again :s.

amoeba_009 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Finding a hobby would be a good way to spend your time rather than have free time to spend on games. Running isent a bad hobby to get into, neither is it all that hard. A new sport? Gymnastics? Chess? A job? If that is legal where you live. Basicly get off your pc, and live life. Go for 2-3 hour walks at a local trail, its very relaxing, or bikeing, a bike is not all that expencive. Fishing is a fun hobby too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_odie Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 :( :P Just give all your items to a friend or drop party. Do in next hour tho lol. Hate to see you go but...

rukano Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 i also think wow blows. But from what i hear it is so much more addictive than RS so i try my hardest to have nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swordwarior Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 If you really want to quit, then just walk away. Doing things like droping all your stuff or getting banned and such won't help. You will always come back untill your ready to actually quit. Best advice i can give is to try playing it in moderation first. If you quit and have all that extra time you might find yourself doing worse things. Limit yourself to x amount of hours a day if you enjoy playing it still.

Rebdragon Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 My first advice would be to stop making excuses for yourself, especially on an online forum. No one cares if you're good looking or not (if I had a frikkin' dime for every time I heard "I'm not ugly or anything" here), nor does anyone care about how many girlfriends you've had in the past, nor does anyone care that you're making excuses about not having friends by labeling "70% of the people" in your town as "stoners and [????]'s". Just leave that information out of your posts from now on, please. And my second would be that you aren't going to quit, ever. No one ever quits- they just stop playing. [if you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.] Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.

Soulthresher Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Give me all of your stuff then go get banned? Sounds like a plan to me : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharockslayer Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Prevent yourself from getting addicted, if all else fails, make a post on tip.it forums so we can point and laugh. Seriously we can't help you, you must quit by yourself, unfortunally you cannot do that unless you aren't addicted. Just play less instead of just going to quit, it helped me after my 99 hunter frenzy :lol: . One more thing, what does you being good with girls add to this discussion? It isnt rellevant if you are ugly, a girl or a boy, a good kisser, a great basketball player or head of the united states. Interrested in joining the cabbagy madness? Click here to go to our forums, and say hi ^^lol one of the biggest pvp updates of the year, and tip it is discussing granite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbas7 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 set a timer on your pc, so that you can only play for 1 hour or something instead of 5-8? Proud owner of the PS3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooferfish Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 everytime the word runescape comes to your mind, stab yourself in the arm with a knitting needle. Just stop playing...dont log in, dont go to rs forums, dont look at updates. Or simply learn to play in moderation and keep playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZsXzSx456 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 If you really want to quit, you can; but just think about what that means: no more RS in the morning, after school, weekends, holidays etc. Are you willing to give that up? You can't just take something out of your live without putting something back in. As many have suggested before me, do something constructive in those 5-8 hours. Learn to play an instrument, piano, guitar, take up art, photography, skating, writing, heck even parkour. Anything like that will help you forget RuneScape, and you'll soon realise just how much time RS eats up, and how much time it's actually worth.

ZsXzSx456 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Wtf is parkour? Founded by David Belle in France, parkour focuses on practicing efficient movements to develop one's body and mind to be able to overcome obstacles in an emergency. It may also be a form of entertainment or pastime. Find out more yourself. Yes, it's relatively strange, but the idea is to try something constructive and new. Either that, or expand on something you already like/good at. [260+ Quest Points] [All Skills 50+] [Lv 97 Combat] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
