Hello, many of you may not remember me, since I have been off the Runescape scene for almost a year now. But, just recently I've been hit with what I like to call the "Seasonal Return". What is it you might ask? Well, every spring, for the last 5 or so years, I would have a huge urge to come back and play Runescape, but after fall hits, I would have already quit.

 

So my question is: has anyone else here experienced any sort of seasonal urges or am I just weird like that?

 

Sorry if this is the wrong section, I haven't been on this site in ages >_>;

Hibernation is upon us?

 

 

 

And no, I've never heard of anything like this.

Sounds like a case of runescape-itus to me.

i don't play as much in summer

HOLY HELL!!!!!!

 

 

 

I was just going to make a post in the Coming Back sticky about how I am wanting to come back, yet I know I'll want to stop once school starts again!

 

 

 

I know 100% exactly what you mean.

Same...I just started playing again about 10 days ago after a 6-8 month break.

 

 

 

No idea why, but it happens

I don't really consider mine "seasonal."

 

On rare occasions (like recently) I just wanted to start playing again because I'm bored and have nothing else to do with my free time.

 

Even worse is that I have too much free time recently since the place I physically work at is closed for the next 6 or more months.

 

I'm hoping my boss will let me work at her shopping complex doing something next month... but until then, I have the urge to play RS to kill time.

I'm not specifically seasonal but I'll spend about 6-8 months on something then drift away usually.

 

 

 

I definately have issues with internet drifing, it does my head in but I can't stop it >.<

this morning Ihad the urge to start playing again and I might get membership again after a year break.

do it!!!!!!!!!

The same thing happens to me! I play MapleStory during the winter, and play RuneScape from early spring-early fall.

After a while of playing i'll get bored/distracted if I dont have a goal to get to so i'll stop for a while but sooner or later i'll always get the urge to renew my subscription and play, especially if i log on in the f2p and realize how much i can't do in the game without mems

Ive quit RuneScape multiple times, but Ive usually come on every week or so to check updates.

 

But I do come back, reasons being my friends are playing again, or Im bored/quit of something else I did when I quit RS.

I agree with you. I have been away for quite a while - maybe 2 years or so. Got the urge though yesterday & ended up resubscribing. Have to see what I can remember about the game & how much has changed.

I have a friend who does the same, but i dont think its really season related, just kinda random.

No, I haven't heard of what you've experienced, but you sound like the classic RS player: one who plays the game in phases and then stops and comes back again. I have had those moments.

It's always the same for me.

 

 

 

I'll usually comeback to Runesape at March-April and play up until October and then quit. Then the whole routine starts all over again.

i play mostly in the summer...then school comes around and i dont have time.

I play by quantity of new content, particularly quests. I got the quest cape, but I take breaks months at a time to let new stuff pile up. Then I renew for a month or two and try everything new. Last quest I did was Summer's End (I didn't do the F2P ones. I got lazy for Swept Away and I wanted to get 80 wc before I did Myths of the White Lands).

Unforunately for me, I get the most enjoyment out of RuneScape when there is great weather outside, mostly in Summer

Well, my membership ran out on New Year, and I haven't gotten it back yet. I plan to in the summer, when my whole life just slows down, but it depends on my money supply and everything else. I'll get it for 3 - 6 months, and we'll see what happens.

 

 

 

Btw, f2p SUCKS.
