Like others said, I would be playing another game

 

 

 

CS: S

 

TDU

 

DFBHD

 

Garrys Mod

 

Battlefield 2

 

UT 04

 

WoW

 

 

 

(ya and the list goes on...)

The only real difference I can think of is that I would get more sleep. RS consumes no social time on weekdays because most of my friends don't live anywhere near me (I only see them at school and on weekends). I would do less homework on off blocks at school and probably would have found other ways to occupy myself with a computer seeing as my usage is constant whether I play RS or not. My weight is low if anything, and my eyesight is better than perfect (20/20+) as tested about 2 weeks ago. Now, I had 20/40 vision about 6 years ago, but that was never going to last anyways, and if parents are anything to go by I will need glases in another 10-20 years.

 

 

 

RuneScape has also done wonders for my typing. 6 years ago I could do that thing where you use 2 fingers and put in a letter every second. Now I can touch type in pitch black (with a few mistakes and its not very fast), and near touch type with pretty decent speed. RuneScape is a part of me (a good part thankfuly), and I don't know who I would be without it but I am sure that I would be atleast a slightly different person.

i barely play rs anyways.

I'd probably just play Pokemon or something. :oops:

Well im 31 and have a girlfriend, i live with her. If i dident have runescape i would be about 10k IRL poorer. You don't spend cash when you are playing runescape. Also, at my age there isn't much to do anyway, all my frineds are married with kids.

 

 

 

To all you youngsters reading this, if you are under 25 STOP PLAYING THIS GAME RIGHT NOW. Life is to short and you are only that young once. Trust me when i say this, take advantage of the girls now. Once they are 25+ and have been around a few times they arnt dumb anymore, the fun is all over.

Well, I would probably be playing Counter Strike / Other MMO / more playstation. Honestly I would be much more borred.

id be a billionare.... i knew i shoulda took that offer instead if playing rs

I'd be where I am right now, seeing as I don't play Runescape anymore.

 

 

 

This is a controversial topic? :|

This is a controversial topic? :|

Trust me, this is. Lol.

Hmm, I would definetely be in better shape and I'd probably have more of a social life (not that I don't have one at all), I'd also probably have better eyesight too.

 

Basically the same. Id probably have a job also

If I had not played RuneScape, I would not have joined Tip.It, would be doing extremely well in school, and would be playing another game.

 

 

 

Off Topic: Shouldn't this be in Questionnaires?

Off Topic: Shouldn't this be in Questionnaires?

Ihad requested this not be moved there. This more than just a question: it's people's lives.

I don't know, I don't dwell on the past. I can say my social life is much better now than when I was addicted a year ago, but I don't know where I would have been if I never started playing.

I might have gotten high A's in classes where I got borderline A's, but I always choose social events and such over runescape when presented with a choice so I don't think it's greatly impacted me there.

 

 

 

Technically it's just "a time filler," but we all know that all fun time fillers tend to become more than that, especially when the alternative is something you don't want to do, like homework lol.

Exactly where I am now. I'm very sure whether or not I played would really make an impact, since I play it to pass the time, and that's it.

I would be near where I am today, on the football team, in good shape, and have a good social status....the only bit that would be different though is grades, maybe a bit better without rs, haha, never do homework.

 

 

 

(texting while playing ftw, lol)

ITT: Overinflated bluffs and "controversial" and intense discussion

 

 

 

But really, this thread? :-s

I'd probably be about the same but not have met some awesome people here in tip.it

 

 

 

I might have a little higher GPA but rs never gets in the way of my social life so in that way i'd be the same.

I would be playing some other online game far more addictive, like online poker, or WoW.

 

 

 

Sad but true, addictive nature will out.

 

 

 

#-o

I started Runescape at the young age of 11. Back then, it stimulated my imagination and I was in love with it because it felt like a game with no limits. Fast forward seven years; I'm eighteen, in college and about to complete my AS degree, I have a wonderful girlfriend, a few close friends that I could trust with my life, I'm in great shape, and I've just begun recording my band's first album. I have a license, a truck, and now all I need is another job (been unemployed for a few months now :twss: ).

 

 

 

All in all, Runecape is what I do in my spare time when my friends are busy, or if I just don't feel like going out. If Runescape had never been invented, I'd probably be playing some other game, or I'd be bored more often. :XD:

Lets all sue jagex.

Lets all sue jagex.

 

 

 

Let's not, and say we did.

 

Better still, we could not and not say anything about it.

I'm going to pretend this question was without online gaming, as I have spent only half my time on RuneScape.

 

 

 

Without online gaming I would have:

 

 

 

Good school grades

 

Good job

 

Good life

 

More prospects

 

 

 

But because online gaming is so addicting, I have none of these -.-

 

 

 

RuneScape

 

Unreal Tournament

 

 

 

The two main life killers for me.

well seeing as i already have a good social life, good working life and seem always busy with mates/family/gf...probably if i didn't find out about rs, watch more tv or xbox live in my spare time :lol:

i''d be playing another mmo, i had been playing other mmo's a long time before i rediscovered runescape. WoW silkroad ultima and such.

 

my schoolwork and social life doesn't be affected by it much, and some of my RL friends play it too, so we talk about it sometimes.
