Tesset Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Eh, I hide it. It's sort of a habit for me now, because too many people dislike Runescape. Mainly because absolutely everyone I know has played it(boys at least, fewer girls), and most couldn't get out of the door. Ironically, I play at the library. It's where I've met nearly all of my rs friends, and through one of them all of my real life friends. I've never understood why everyone thinks you'll be hacked playing in public-I've heard about it only from people who don't care or share accounts, and haven't been hacked via the library in the 4-5 years I've played there, once a week in the summer, every vacation I can during the school year. There even used to be a "Runescape Frenzy" at the library, but that got canceled because no one came. My skin is finally getting softI'll scrub until the damn thing comes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lielac Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Nope! -.- People don't believe me when I tell them, though. Example conversation: "Are you drawing a dragon plateskirt?" "Yes." "But you're a girl!" "... Level, sexist-boy?" "... 60." "92, members, and several million gold in the bank. Eat my dust." "Well... I... Liar!" "... *sighs and goes back to drawing a picture of my avvie in full dragon*" Balance may be power, but chaos is still pretty damn fun.Canada can't be second rate, polar bears are their main mode of transportation.

Odinsson Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Yeah it is for me, I only really play at work and then after everyone has left or when no one is here when I am on the weekends. FairTax!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 A couple of people, close family members, and my CS colleagues are vaguely aware of the fact that I play this game. Funnily enough, I've never been challenged or insulted because I did. Of course...the field that I'm in/atmosphere I'm in is actually very, very forgiving of stuff (but breathe a word about Vista vs. Linux and expect to be tossed over a fence). As for the situation in the library: It'd make me feel better about the future of the world if the other kid hid their terminal instead. Think about that one for a moment. :?

Returned3 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 lol...runescape is definatly my dirty little secret. I wouldn't dare touch any site related to rs any where but my house or a select few friends houses. If anybody found out I played rs I'd be done lol :lol: Social Suicide pl0x You're pathetic if you're that shallow. If people decide they don't like you based on what games you play then their opinion is worthless. Honestly, I hate comments like that. I hide that I play RS; Why? Because it is, as akballer said, social suicide. It mgiht be different where you live, but here, you don't want to have people know you play RS. No, they aren't good friends, and yes, they are shallow, but I'd rather have a decent relationship with people like that than be pushed aside into the D&D and Magic player groups because I play. Ironically enough, I just had a conversation about this a earlier today. Yeah, that was really weirdly worded, I can't really get that to sound very good... You can kinda get my point though. That, unfortunately is the horrible reality about Runescape for some of its players. Although life was different for me when I was in Primary school. Runescape was the popular game then (2004) and no one would "laugh" but instead find out more about it. Then came Secondary school where my friends laughed and made fun of Runescape. It took awhile, but now every one of my friends know that I play Runescape and they are fine with that. I do come across idiots that still say Runescape is lame due to its graphics though. 00:00:0500:00:0400:00:0300:00:0200:00:0100:00:00 Break the Walls down!

That happened to me once, this dude talked about how 'oldschool rs' was 'so cool' then the wildy got 'taken away', I told about my account and he kept on about wanting my account. That kinda pissed me off. Ah, the world's so small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people decide they don't like you based on what games you play then their opinion is worthless. Lol how am I pathcetic? Because I don't want to be made fun for the rest of highschool? Explain to me how that is pathetic. I can undersatnd how making fun of people because they play a game is pathetic...but thats how life is. So before you criticize me come to my school and publicly announce you play runescape...so how easy life will be. Once you do that then you will have every right to say something. I'm in highschool. Some people know I play Runescape. I'd play it at school if it wasn't blocked. I used to browse these forums at lunch but they blocked them as well, so now I just eat with my friends. I'm mature enough not to care what my classmates think about me. Meh, you can be mature all you want, it won't do your social status any good. I keep it to myself personally, just a few of my closer friends know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaosSt0rm Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 i've started playing more than i have in the past year or so because i have free time more now and it's something better to do, but no one really knows i do because it's never brought up in discussion just whoever is in my house at the time may see, it doesn't bother me because it's a game, i like it and it meets my requirements (not taking over my whole screen and doesn't have to be installed) because i get bored of games easy and i'd find myself installing/uninstalling too much to free space up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FooK-A-Ji Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 its not secret, but most that I know cant understand why im still active after so long, since its "normal" to feel interest for a game usually for only a couple of years before expanding ones horizon.

Smithy93 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 None of my friends play anymore, they play WoW, PS3 or Xbox.

Lep Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Almost everyone has played Runescape and also Pokemon at some point in there life. They also both used to be extremely popular in public school, people asking their friends to pk them a R2H or bringing their GameBoys to school to exchange mystery gift. But now... they act like they are cool and will call Runescape - Run Escape and call Pokemon - Pokeman. This makes me want to punch them all in the face. They know what it's actually called so wtf is their problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'm a 19 yr old woman who still plays Runescape at while working at her college computer lab. Yes, it's my guilty pleasure, but it's hardly a secret. I even got my boss to play :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
