Mike_Ike111 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 It's your style of play that defines what Runescape is to you. If you are a Hardcore Runescape player, it can be considered Geeky/nerdy. If you are a moderate player, it can be considered another video Game. If you don't play too often, but still do play, it can be considered a time waster.

Star_Fox Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 i consider myself a nerd only to a small degree. reason is, i'm not smart, i don't have that annoying accent, my acnes almost 100% gone, and i don't become overly obsessed with fantasies and technology. so in theory, i'm not stereotypically fit for a nerd but i don't have a lot of friends and i rarely go outside... anyways, since we're talking about runescape, i guess it is kind of nerdy. but i don't care if anyone will insult me for playing a game i enjoy. and i don't regret spending 4 years of my life on it. i would rather continue playing runescape then get a life because that is my choice.

Grasle Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 We're all nerds to a degree for playing RuneScape. Is that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diib Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (nerd) refers to a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests rather than engaging in more social or popular activities. It seems to me that runescape is neither an intellectual activity nor an obscure interest (given its popularity). I suppose knowing a lot about the game and trying to find the most efficient strategies might be "pursuing esoteric knowledge". Either way, being a nerd is not a bad thing. I'm a physicist myself (physics being a stereotypically nerd subject). I assure you that in the real world, nerds are often highly successful. "Noob" is an insult. "Noob" is overused. Be polite. Try to say "noob" less than once a day.Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenkana Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I'd say it's seen as childish as opposed to nerdy. After all, most people learn of it and most of the target audience are middle/jr. high school children. If the CORPORAL beast is this hard, imagine how hard a GENERAL or COLONEL beast would be. a corporal is not even an admirable rank in armies that use that ranking system. Yeah, it is a pking minigame, so any arguments anybody makes will probably be biased.The best way this will end :Everybody just says,"I'm not arguing with you anymore, goodbye."The worst way this will end: I don't really know, psychological warfare? Worldwide thermonuclear war? Pie eating contest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdboyxxx Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hehehe WoW is more nerdy, because that is just 100% fat 40-year olds that can't get out of the computer chair. So, no its not the nerdiest thing out there, but its nerdy. Look at me \ \ \ Nerds ftw :D I agree that it is seen more childish then nerdy, but you'd be surprised how many older people play it. WoW is just full of pedo's though. Like for example... Omg rofl love this image :D Just so you people know, I don't really fit the nerd group. I go out often with friends, I am only high average at school, not genius (I'm REALLY lazy when it comes to schoolwork, only barely getting it done most of the time), I do spend a lot of time on Runescape but I also participate in sports, I jog, and I keep fit. So, I'm only part-nerd :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sillylilpixie130 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 It's really all how you define nerdy. For me, I don't think it is, I see it as something I do to pass the time at night when I have nothing to do. It's no different then someone watching TV to pass the time. Love, Trust and Pixie Dust!!

Johannas Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Runescape is nerdy, but i'm not a nerd. Most people that play are just 12 year old kids... (like i was when i started) It's just a habit that i got into 6 years ago, and i haven't really stopped. Some might call it an addiction, but for me it's just a better way of spending time i would have otherwise spent playing xbox and watching tv. Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig!
