What makes a good friend?


n_odie

Recommended Posts

I tend to make many topics that have very strong ties with friends. That is because I really don't play Rs anymore except to hop on and hang with those I enjoy being around. I started to think, why do I enjoy these strangers from thousands of miles away? Why do they literally make the game worth playing?

 

 

 

My answer when I finally came down to it, is that while there is limits, they would do anything in their power to help me. I have often times played when I am feeling low and just by having a random conversation I feel up built! The same goes with Tip.it, It is sometimes hard to keep going but with help from friends I just seem to keep pushing forward. I know this is the case for many other on staff and the community!

 

 

 

I would really like some views from you guys on:

 

~What makes a good friend?

 

~How do you view yourself a good friend to others?

 

~What would you do for a friend that you met on RS?

 

~What do you think a friend would do for you?

I don't really know why some of my friends are such great friends: There's just something about them. For instances, there's one frined I got (Merp, you know its you <3: ) that whenever hes on, we just talk. Like, I've lterally spent hours with him just talking; if there's one guy I'd want to meet irl, it'd be him. I can spend forever talking to this guy, and he's been there for me at times, and I've done the same for him. Honestly, I know his full name, so if I wanted, i could probably google stalk him. :-#

Umm usually people who aren't going to do a bunch of stupid and annoying stuff just to try and present themselves as superior, boost their ego, etc. I like genuine people, who just are who they are..

 

 

 

Example of what NOT to do:

 

Like for instance, these "friends" who are like "I have like 20m more than you" when you say how much money you got... umm congratulations? Or "I used to be guild leader of wawawa and I met friends of "... not interested... Or if you say wow getting this 99 is grindy, and they're like "yeah! but I'm good at that I grinded all the way up to 99 RC"... or yet again people who keep saying lol at inappropriate moments = I particularly hate those ones. Like you say "Damn it me 2 hours to finish this quest up"..."lol"... and they say nothing else, wtf. Basically ppl who take every possible occasion to be a jerk, and try to look better than you. Those are out. And it sucks because most people are that way, I guess its a teenager boy thing.

 

 

 

But sometimes once in a while, someone that isn't a jerk comes up, but that's once in a blue moon(whatever long that may be). I think I've had maybe maximum 5 people in Rs I'd say were good friends. They're all gone so it kinda sucks now.

Shouldn't this be in Questionnaires, N_Odie? :-k

 

 

 

On Topic: For me, a good friend is someone who:

 

 

 

[*]Will stick up for me.

 

[*]Will keep me motivated.

 

[*]Will give me advice.

 

[*]Will keep me entertained.

 

[*]Just being nice generally.

 

 

 

What I try to be as a friend is:

 

 

 

[*]Will give support in rough times.

 

[*]Will aid them when necessary.

 

[*]Hang out with them when I can.

 

[*]Shout them the odd thing here and there if they are short on money.

My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

~What makes a good friend?

 

 

 

One that you could trust and depend on

 

Will stick up to me when I get flamed etc

 

Is fun to be with him/her

 

 

 

~How do you view yourself a good friend to others?

 

 

 

Humor them

 

Give them tips on how to train

 

I can be sarcastic when I got annoyed

 

 

 

~What would you do for a friend that you met on RS?

 

 

 

If they are on a goals like 99 hunting while catching red chins or doing some goals (stationary), I will buy some alchs to alch and keep them company.

 

 

 

I will lend out my gears to them.

 

 

 

If they are running low on supplies I will give them mine, provided if they can junk trade me. Or if one is a very good friend to me and is having a goal to obtain certain expensve item, I will help him/her make a portion of the money.

 

 

 

Basically finanical aid to him/her.

 

 

 

~What do you think a friend would do for you?

 

 

 

When I help a friend or even strangers, I don't require them to pay me back or return a favour to me. But if he/she is a very good friend to me, I would require them to give me their MSN etc, so we can chat. I always try to held on to the belief that friends does not only exist when you log on and play a certain game.

~What makes a good friend? (RS and Non-RS)

 

Someone you can trust

 

Someone that will actually listen to what you have to say

 

Someone you can laugh with

 

Someone who will respect you for what you say

 

 

 

~How do you view yourself a good friend to others?(RS and Non-RS)

 

I help them out when they need help

 

I listen to them if they want to talk

 

I try to do fun stuff with them whenever I can

 

I don't let them down when they are feeling sad/angry/whatever

 

I respect them for decisions they make, even when I don't agree. I let them know I disagree, but I still respect their decision.

 

 

 

 

 

~What would you do for a friend that you met on RS?

 

Mostly everything I just stated and lending out items when I don't use them.

 

 

 

~What do you think a friend would do for you?

 

Friendship works bothways so they will do the same for me

I don't think so but i will ask a mod next time I see one on! :lol: The questions are to get your mind starting to flow rather than limiting to just those. May be wrong tho...

it is really hard to find "true" friends in runescape, most of the newer player (that start around 2 year or less ago) they would kill you so that you lost anything you had if they had the possibility to get rich.

 

 

 

for me a friend in runescape is someone who enjoys to have fun and can take a joke, a friend is someone who you enjoy being with doing skills or slaying monsters or just wasting time <3: i tbh a few of the people i got on my friend dont will out this creteria but those who do are "real" friend that i would do naything for(unless it meant breaking the rule ofc) these are people like x1992x(who quit) and even chia cha or von max blue who i can always say something fun to that if i send it to some other person on my friends list they would have reported me instantly becasue it would make them a mod sometime(like mod status is so hawt, no offence)

 

 

 

true friends are hard to find but if you get lucky you got a friend for life.

From the 3 best friends in RS, I know I can ask any a question (well not any but you get the idea), and expect an honest answer even if it may be 'I don't know". One in particular was indespensible when I strated members since he was able to explain how things work, and gave me a decent ammount of items that I needed for quests and was having trouble aqiring them. There is another one who I rarely see, but we have a ritual greeting now and we probably have the best conversations. Then theres the one in the middel. Not so good for items but a good conversationalist and gives good advice.

 

 

 

I have older friends too, and we chat sometimes.

My two best friends on runescape are two people I'd go out of my way for and they'd do the same for me. I also like it when friends are in or around my age group. Just makes it easier to relate to, I guess. And they both hold up conversations well. heh, and it also helps that we share the same views on certain things. Like I hate people who are still bitter about the Dec 10 events, and I also hate people who are completely ignorant of the uses of Summoning. Like one of my friends, doesn't even like summoning but sees the uses in it and plans to Summon when he gets his fill of pking.

After some thought, we've decided that this topic is fine sitting here where it is. While the topic title is in question format, it is definitely a discussion topic and it does concern Runescape friendship. I really love some of the well thought out responses that I have seen here and the topic has great discussion value.

 

 

 

To me a good friend is someone who sticks around when you're at your absolute worst point... The one who is still there when you act like a complete idiot... In RS and in the "real world."

I have one really good friend in RS, and we seriously never speak to each other in complete sentences, or with any grammar.

 

 

 

It's always:

 

 

 

"wut yer doing pls@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@"

 

"slaying black demons tbh got dmed amigudnao"

 

"ya u gud"

 

 

 

I love you Will. <3:

Odie my good friend, yet another good topic.

 

 

 

~What makes a good friend?

 

 

 

A good friend to me, is someone that will help you when they can. I like talking to people, as most of you would know and it is through that that I have such a great friends list. Most of the people on my list will chat to you whenever you want.

 

 

 

Also, they'll help you if you're low etc.

 

~How do you view yourself a good friend to others?

 

 

 

Well, I can't really comment about myself, but I'll always help a friend out when needed as that's what I am there for. Friends help each other out, simple as.

 

 

 

~What would you do for a friend that you met on RS?

 

 

 

Umm, strange question. I'd do anything they needed, if they want something brought to them as they're fighting, I'll usually try and get there or meet them half way.

 

Give them an item they needed e.g GodSword. Or, if necessary buy them the item they need if they can't afford it and lend that to them.

 

 

 

~What do you think a friend would do for you?

 

 

 

I wouldn't want to expect the world from my friends as I don't generally like putting people off track or what they're doing. If they've free time, I like to chat. It may be just a random conversation or something but it's always nice and can brighten up ones day.

 

 

 

That's just my opinions of friendship in RuneScape.

~What makes a good friend?

 

Someone that listens if you have problems, gives advice if they can and is someone you enjoy the company of.

 

 

 

~How do you view yourself a good friend to others?

 

By trying my best to do what I just wrote.

 

 

 

~What would you do for a friend that you met on RS?

 

I'd help them out if they need advice on training or such, and also help them out in other ways (i.e if someone needs a Bunyip pouch on Slayer).

 

 

 

~What do you think a friend would do for you?

 

Help me when I need it I guess.

I have one good friend in-game that's the reason I still play RS today. Back before the trade update, we shared rares and other items and we were pretty much inseparable. We've known each other for a little over 4 years and would literally do anything for each other in RS.

 

 

 

It's hard to find someone that will be your friend based off of your personality alone nowadays. People seem to only want to be your friend when you have something that could directly benefit them. It's gotten to the point that the only people on my friends list are the several people that I've known for years.

 

 

 

~What makes a good friend? (RS and Non-RS)

 

-Someone you can have a converstaion with that isn't about RS

 

-Someone who cares about you more than a couple of pixels

 

-Someone who's mature and respectful
