cookie1762 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I have been wondering about this for a long time. How many runescape players out there are adult players? I know there are alot of kids out there that play too, but just curious how many people like me out there playing. My husband and I both play RS and enjoy some healthy competition with each other. I have a full time job and look forward to playing after everything around the house is done and a bit on the weekends. Thanks for reading! :D http://sign.tip.it/1/6/24/304/lady_scm.png Drops/Clue Finds:Shield left half: 1,Dragon plateskirt: 1, Warrior's Helm: 1, Obsidian Cape: 1, Robin Hood Hat: 1, Dragon Platelegs: 1, Dragon Boots: 4, Amulet of Ranging: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessy87 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 alot, the reason kids seems to be frequent is said to be "squeaky wheel gets the oil". meaning, if you constantly see people acting like kids, and the adults being mature and not talking/keeping it professional. your going to notice the kids more. also, define "adult" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie1762 Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Lol, thats true. Well, i mean the working class of people. We are still kids at heart, but in a grown up world. http://sign.tip.it/1/6/24/304/lady_scm.png Drops/Clue Finds:Shield left half: 1,Dragon plateskirt: 1, Warrior's Helm: 1, Obsidian Cape: 1, Robin Hood Hat: 1, Dragon Platelegs: 1, Dragon Boots: 4, Amulet of Ranging: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Technically an adult (24), big kid in reality :P There are a LOT of us out there, most of my friends on Runescape are all adults.

chris924 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 :D Hi, I'm with you, I KNOW there are lots of adults (like myself) who play. There are even clans/communities (see my sig ;) )for adults who play. We may be a minority, but is not as rare as you think, some of us are just quiet about it.

ladycai Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 My sister's turning twenty this year, and she's a "big girl" in nothing except games, and her PSP. She has two part-time jobs (not sure which one to switch to D:) but she seems more of a kid than me. I'm going on seventeen, and RuneScape's been entertaining me since I was what, thirteen? :P 95/99 Summoning95/99 Slayer [hide=This is what you look like when you play RS too long][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooferfish Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm 23 and I play. I know of a few others my age, and a couple older (around 40). There are adults out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flsed Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Yep. Started playing when I was about 17 and now im 24. Can't believe i'm still playing it to be honest. Sometimes I take a year or 6 months off, but eventually I get a voice that says "what about all that time you put into levelling up?", then I relapse back into addiction :ohnoes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezz Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm 19, so I'm not really sure if I am considered an adult or not (depends on who's standards I guess, so according to your standards). But what I know for sure is that a lot of adults play RuneScape :D I know many ingame. [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying.

Loffelicious Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Well, I'm only 18, but I do consider myself somewhat an adult, both mentally and "officially", as I can do stuff legally now..

xpandax Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 started playing when i was 14... and I'm now 20! Where has all the time gone, haha. I've been off and on those 6 years... I must say it is getting harder to tolerate the community now a days. A lot has changed but then again so has my perspective in those 6 years so who am i to judge.

mikeg0477 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 At 39(40 next week), I'm the oldest RS player I know. Not the oldest in the game, just the oldest I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EU Slayer Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm 23, Been playing sense i was like 19 :P I know quite a few adult players, though we consider ourselfs 'big kids" at heart :) I don't know which mod did this. I don't know why they did it. If they're looking for money, I can tell them I don't have any as I'm a student. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over 4 years of RuneScape. Skills that I have worked hard for and people like them can't take them away. If they give me my particles back now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for them, I will not pursue them. But if they don't, I will look for them, I will find them, and they won't like what'll happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tres Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 At 39(40 next week), I'm the oldest RS player I know. Not the oldest in the game, just the oldest I know. lol thats nothing i knew tons of ppl in my rsc days that were older than me but i used to hang with high levels only so mostly they were old. i felt myself pretty young in that company. now im 37 and i was under 30 when i started rs. skillers were mostly old but pkers were almost always young.

Randox Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I am legaly an adult (in everthing except the legal drinking age of 19, but I can vote :thumbsup: ). I started playing when I was 13. I am now 18. I just realised I have been playing this game for every year of my teenage life :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendyboy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I am 20 years old now, and although I in no way consider myself old, I am an adult. I always heard in the early days of playing that there were adults who played, but I never really believed it! Recently, I have stumbled across some adults, so I actually now believe this statement. However, I am surprised that when I say my age that I am either laughed at, or asked "arent you a bit old to be on rs?" etc etc. P.s Are there any clan chats out there that I could join, as I am growing tired of talking to young people all the time inm online! 16x Black mask1x Dragon Chainbody1x Dragonic Visage32x Dragon BootsObsidian Drops:-13 x Cape/ 6 x Shield/ 6 x Maul/ 750+ Onyx Tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie1762 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 If you look at Chris924's post on this thread, he has an adult clan. He says to click on his signature to see it. Nice to know I'm not alone out there in getting enjoyment out of playing the game as an adult. I also like what someone said about being able to breifly play the role of a fictional character is kinda relaxing after a hard day at our real lives. :D http://sign.tip.it/1/6/24/304/lady_scm.png Drops/Clue Finds:Shield left half: 1,Dragon plateskirt: 1, Warrior's Helm: 1, Obsidian Cape: 1, Robin Hood Hat: 1, Dragon Platelegs: 1, Dragon Boots: 4, Amulet of Ranging: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everyonedies Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I lead a clan with several other people and most of our members are over the age of 18 all of the leaders are in their 20 or 30s.

I also like what someone said about being able to breifly play the role of a fictional character is kinda relaxing after a hard day at our real lives. :D I don't mean to come off as some psycho clan recruiter, my point being that there are MANY adults that play the game regularly. On a personal note, I have found a great community that consists of adults that play. It is certainly not the only one out there but I love it and will be a part of it for as long as I play the game. I have met MANY nice people through KoA. It is not run by a tyrannical power hunger 13 year old like some clans ( no offense to tyrannical power hunger 13 year olds :P ) and the requirements to get in are kind of steep (110 p2p combat OR 1600 overall) but the commitment needed to stay is not. It is understood that as an "adult" clan we have many real life obligations to take care of. I am pretty sure the monthly requirement is just attend 1 event and make 5 posts on the forums. The founder is awesome and the admin's are equally as great. (Okay, so maybe I did come off as a psycho clan recruiter :) ) EDIT: Here is a link to our "Recruitment Thread" here on tip.it: viewtopic.php?f=173&t=759373&p=6038399&hilit=koa#p6038399 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
