Omar Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 i dont think it should be put up because everyone needs privacy and it will only spark ppl calling eachother nolifers. If people want to say that there's already the highscores. Something like this would be private. Still, it could cause a slight dip in the amount of members, which is never good... Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity?

Smackapotato Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Why is it that you guys would find a high amount of hours depressing? As I previously mentioned, non gamers may spend the same amount of time on the tv, or some other hobby. What is the difference? :-k Idealistically you could have better spent that time. Let's say that instead of playing for 3 hours a day for 4 years, you got yourself a job and worked 3 hours a day. That's about 4500 hours and if that was spent working a job at 8$ and hour, you could have made somewhere near 35 000$. That's a lot, but of course that would be thinking idealistically and most people wouldn't get a job instead of playing RS, but just thinking about what you could have done with that time is... EDIT - Signature far exceeds our sig limits but since it's so colourful you can keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Latios Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'd say 6-8 hours a day on non-holidays, and around 12-16 hours a day on holidays... I'd say an average of 7 on school days, 14 on holidays... I've been playing this game since 2001, but only really got into it in early 2003... So 5 years at that rate, say, 10-11 hours a day average... 18,000-20,000 hours of play if I committed to that. Obviously, I sometimes do not play, so minus, say, 2,000 hours. 16,000-18,000 hours would be slightly more accurate, but then I DID play since 2001, so another 1,000 hours in 2 years. 17,000-19,000 hours estimated playing time.

hrmn Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Techincally ive been playing since 1999/2000 (not entirely sure). But ive often quite for many months, and i dont really play that much either. So id say 2k-2.5k at most, but for some reason i hang around rs relted forums more then i play lately, so id say 5k total spend on rs. Ah if only i spend that time playing id have much better skills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_Tas Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Registered Eagle Tas sometime in the winter 2004. Didn't play much at first at all but it increased a little to 30 minutes per day in average during mid2005-2007. Since February this year, I have been play about 2 hours a day in average. Including those occasional no-lifing weekends and my Runescape frenzy last summer, it seems that I have been playing approximately 1500 hours of Runescape. Nothing I regret, really. I don't watch much TV, so I haven't been wasting any more time than other average people around me do with TV and other video games. If you assume you live to be 80, and sleep 8 hours a day, you live to experience 467.2k awake hours. 5k hours spent in total on a game like Runescape only makes up about 1% of your life, then. Does that really sound so depressing? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tijger2099 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Probably about 5000 in my case but I'd rather not see it lol. Played for 5 years now on 3 different accounts, out of the 5000 hours I spent roughly 2000-3000 on my current account, which I have by now for about 2,5 years :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NukeMarine Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Why is it that you guys would find a high amount of hours depressing? As I previously mentioned, non gamers may spend the same amount of time on the tv, or some other hobby. What is the difference? :-k Well, there's this current idea that's been boiling about how there are no child prodigies, or that every child has the potential to be what we call prodigies. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/nov/15/malcolm-gladwell-outliers-extract You begin to rack up hours on anything, that by the time you approach 10,000 hours you are world class level expert at that "thing". Granted, there's the kicker that each and every hour you have to push yourself. Either you refine what you are doing, or you study something new to add. Reason why no one does this is you pretty much have to like what you're doing. You have to like piano, tennis, golf, basketball, writing, Japanese, whatever to rack up hours like that in a short amount of time (8 hours a day for 4 years or 4 hours a day for 8 years). Then, you're not just in a holding pattern. You're adding new vocabulary (Japanese), new music (piano, flute), new techniques (tennis, golf). Translation, if you found the above as fun as you found Runescape, and you practiced everyday then you'll become an expert as you approach 10,000 hours. Thing is, I doubt many find the above fun enough to dedicate 10,000 hours of their life. Another reason Jagex gave that they will not show hours as it would encourage account selling. Kind of a bs reason, seeing most care about stats and not hours it took to make the stats.

Outsanity Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Sad but true story: I'd probably be in the 5,000-6,000 range. Happy but true story: I am still extremely successful in real life so it's okay to have spent so much time playing a game that relaxes and entertains me. :) |2,300+ Total|138 Combat|12 Lvl 99 Skills|99 Slayer| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infi Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 It's very trivial to me, I'd rather not know but I'd want to peek at it just because I'm oh so curious :lol: I wouldn't mind knowing but it will not be disclosed any time soon because information like this can be used to in the real world industry of account sales. If you're a new player I believe you can use X-fire to track how many hours you put into any game (though I'm not sure why you would want to do this) :lol: 99 Hits, Attack, Strength, Defence, Mage, Summoning, Slayer, Ranged, 96/99 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spooferfish Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 over 9000 You are an idiot. Jagex used to tell people when they made their account and the play time.

CowsEatFood Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I would guess around 3000-4000 total hours.

salim123 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 They do keep track somehow. Back during the mass bannings they said that a player with a total lvl of 1500 had played like a few hundred days. Ill try to find it. EDIT: 11th May 2007 - Bots and Real-World Trading Update ... These are just 2 examples out of the 2300 total. Player X Total Level: Over 1600 Total time in-game: 140 days, 8 hours Status: Permanently banned for real-world trading Player Y Total Level: Over 1550 Total time in-game: 89 days, 14 hours Status: Permanently banned for real-world trading Jagex is holding out on us :shame: k, first of all... if i saw my playing time which is prob upwards of like 10,000 now i would quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
