Star_Fox Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 what does runescape do that can effect your life in a positive way? i'll start with mine. ok, most of you may remember when i made a quitting thread in august 3 right? when i stopped playing runescape, my school grades were dropping. even the classes that i do good on had failing test scores and missing homework...so when i got BACK from runescape, my grades went up, my homework was done on cue, and my performance was greater, and i started doing better in school, including making new friends, and helping others with classwork. it may be hard to believe but i kid you not, i've had this trend since 7th grade (12th grade now). idk why this happens...i guess it reflects my optimism or something? if anyone can answer this, PM me. anyways, explain yours! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intermagma Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Infact, RuneScape, and all other online games are extremely unhealthy. It doesn't help you in any way to just sit at home and play an online game. You could be out socializing with friends, excersising, and stuff like that. Actually RuneScape is ruining my life so bad, I would pay all the money I have, and get a large bank loan, to shut down Jagex completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saru Inc Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Runescape teaches you, that every day you will meet morons; who are convinced that you are fundamentally flawed for not believing what they believe. It also teaches that the larger the group, the stupider the group. And ummm... valuable social networking methods. I have all the 99s, and have been playing since 2001.

childishpet Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 LOL! yeah, it teaches us English. It also provides an area where I can simply enjoy myself and escape from the problems from school or the house. It also trains you in strategies and critical thinking.

Bauke Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 It teaches me that a lot of Dutch kids are completely moronic, can't spell, and fail to write comprehensible English. As an effect, it also boosts my self esteem. As for the rest, it's merely a game. It provides entertainment, and that's all.

Mike_Ike111 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Honestly, people who say Video Games (runescape included) are bad for you and should be shunned upon are just looking for a reason to disagree with something. Video games invoke and encourage creativity and problem solving skills, while administering hand eye coordination training and decision making practice. In Runescape, specifically, you learn right from the start what it means to save your money. You learn that if you want to own more money you have to increase that money some how, and to not spend it. As well, most importantly, in the economic side of things: you learn the ins and outs of a mixed economy. You learn supply and demands, elasticity, and many sorts of economic side effects, such as if one thing happens another thing will happen in turn. I've personally increased my know-how of the internet, in an internet growing world. Most people, mainly older beings, who say Video Games and internet activity is a bad thing simply cannot comprehend what the world is going into. They still haven't caught grasp that the skills, we the next generation, acquire while over the internet will be put into use every day in the present future. The world is thriving on an interweb-tacular society, and everything we do today over the internet and on Video Games will be put in to use in our everyday lives.
