Retired player - review of my years

Featured Replies

About late summer Runescape started to get boring to me. I won't go into details, I just started to slip in and out, sometimes wondering why I was even playing.

 

 

 

Anyway, since I am now 90% retired, I'd thought I'd share my legacy. It's a bit long, but I think you'll find it interesting.

 

 

 

A little about me: I am a political man. I can't just play a MMO, I have to argue with people, talk with them, arouse some talk in fansites, etc. This is true for all the MMOs I have played. It's like a disease almost.

 

 

 

The first year of Runecsape was sort of a joke compared to my later years. I didn't really do anything. I had fun with my friends, now long retired. In 2005, the wilderness existed and there was no ditch. So we had fun tricking eachother to go into the wilderness and then we would kill eachother. But we would always return the stuff to the victim. Sort of a primitive form of luring I suppose. Luring already existed though, and people were raking in hundreds of millions each day in the business.

 

 

 

The later years I got more involved in tip.it, and loved to argue on the general board. Tip.it was a sweet place back then, none of the whiners today (about 2007 it started degrading, if any of yall are curious). At some time I eagerly joined CTET, Clan Tip.it Events Team, and held the leader position for two terms (a year). After that I sort of needed a break on politics and spent the rest of my days training my summoning and fishing.

 

 

 

My achievements:

 

  • [*:w19w23oh]I founded the World 70 Company, a ZMI company, which jagex recognized as an official world.
     
    [*:w19w23oh]I have slain well over 5000 dragons of all types, all visage droppers. I have received 2 visages, one from a black, one from an iron. I have also received 9 dragon legs and 6 skirts. I will tell you now: The most wonderful feeling in runescape is seeing that visage lying on the ground there. You have achieved something impossible all my yourself- no teammates or anything.
     
    [*:w19w23oh]I was one of the three major supporters of cook-x, and jagex eventually recognized our plead. I regret it because cooking is now easier than ever.
     
    [*:w19w23oh]I first got my questcape, then my fletching cape, and shot for the fishing and cooking cape, but stopped halfway through 96 on both. I was very well known as the world 78 fisher at piscatoris back in those days.
     
    [*:w19w23oh]I have hosted over 30 various events, both for my clan and just doing it solo.
     
    [*:w19w23oh]I have attended all four MSSWs, something that is rarely claimed, and do plan on attending future ones.
     
    [*:w19w23oh]See the Questionnaires forum in the General board? That was my idea.

 

 

 

My goals/stats:

 

 

 

invsb9.png

 

statsrl2.png

 

 

 

Void range for my love of ranging.

 

The cash pile is mostly a result of merchanting, visage drops, and bank cleanouts, from time to time.

 

The black flowers are very important to me; they are the oldest item in my bank. Not even my coins, which I have had 0 of many times, have outlasted them. I believe I bought them on my first day of membership, which was over 2.5 years ago.

 

The money banner, which cost 500k, represents my love for money... and spending it.

 

I loved quests and achievement dairies, and I have mastered both shown by the three corresponding items.

 

I have a house worth about 30M. I have probably re-done my house five times now, each time spending millions on it. I like my current house now, but 99 construction has always been my dream.

 

All my stats are 70+, a proud goal of mine.

 

 

 

 

 

Now what the heck do "retired" people do when they feel like playing a little Runescape? Why cwars of course! How do you think people get insane numbers of cwars tickets in the thousands anyway? Now I've got 71.1M to spend on ice bursts... oh I may even get 94 magic on the way, haha.

I love reading Runescape life stories.

 

 

 

9/10, you sound pretty remarkable.

How can you be 90% retired? You play the game or you don't, it's that simple.

Some people dream of success, while others make it happen.

Great story Sunny, i used to love your blog of dragon slaying. 10/10

I guess he decided to stop skilling and just do some cwars, or whatever in his spare time. This is what I have tried a few times, but TBH, it doesnt work... You get hooked pretty fast again, and set yourself a new goal.

Aww, you retired.. I've seen you in Lightning before and you seem really cool. Very nice RS life, you're a great player. Have fun in real life and castle wars. ::'

90% retired. possible. example

 

play 10hrs a week [proably more for osme people]

 

then u stop playing as much, 90% retired. play maybe 1 hr a week, and more than likely do sweet [bleep] all in thst hour except maybe a minigame.

 

 

 

 

 

ontopic. ily mario <3 nice cash pile aswell :D

I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"

walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come

Lol? You've been here for like a month, you know jack and you're certainly not gonna tell me what to do. There's a difference between flaming and stating a fact.

or you quit for the most part, except maybe only log on for clan events or such, rarely... which is what mario was talking about, so how about you shut your [bleep]ing mouth and stop being a nit-picker [normally i can think of a better word but i got a mental blank] about it

actually zot i've probably been here longer then you due to me forgetting the password for my tip accs

 

so gtfo and how can he either play or not its not like someone says you HAVE TO PLAY FOR 5 HOURS A DAY

 

he can log on do farming runs or check the ge for sales that doesnt mean he is fully retired so gtfo off this thread and go flame all the semi retired people

 

Would you go flame 3 hit u for being semi retired? thought not

Pfft, what a childish flaming over here. Zot just stated that you cant really be semi-quit. Not more, not less. He didnt say Mario was a **** **** with **** who **** in the *** , whatever. Now wether you actually can be semi-retired or not is another discussion, but seriously, there is no reason to flame like this.

 

IMO it is pretty hard to be semi-retired. Even when I was quit I was still following the forums pretty often. I can imagine logging in and saying, hmm one round of cwars, and ending up playing the whole evening. But that's just me.

I'm the same, I quit about a year ago but I still play 5 hours + a day xD

That's highly doubtfull, i've been here since scapeboard, and unlike you i have people that can back that up :), not to mention you're only like lvl 60 in Runescape and have no proof whatsoever. I wasn't flaming him, i was stating something. Shame you have the iq of a dehydrated cockatoo in the tropical rainforest of south america, otherwise you might have understood my point. Did i tell him to start playing like a no lifer or just quit? No i didn't. Stop posting, you're just making a fool out of yourself.

Some people dream of success, while others make it happen.

screw it i couldn't be arsed arguing with someone who has a brain the size of a squirrel

 

and by the way get your facts right i'm actually 81 combat =D>

 

EDIT: Sorry to burst your bubble but cockatoos mostly live in Australia, Papa New Guinea and the minor outlying isalnds so i think your geographys quite off by about 2000 miles

 

 

 

win?
