ilovecuttingyews Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 But did Jagex even keep track of the Classic hours?I'm not sure, I'll try and find out.Well, the article says 700+ hours from 2004 - 2009. So If Sara started playing before that then we can confirm when Jagex started tracking play times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_ Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I've spent more time than that playing RuneScape, if Jagex included Classic hours. I used to spend (I don't regret it either) 10+ hours a day on Classic some days (weekends) and over 5+ hours every day (week days). I've quite easily beaten that record.That's really something to be proud of. Some people dream of success, while others make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joke_slayer Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 i've heard of a lot worse than 9 hours a day tbh i think i remember in the n0valyfe interview a long time ago he averaged like 16 hours a day, and i know of some other people who average(d) even more than that, its just they they either quit rs, or haven't started playing that long ago so haven't hat time to accumulate such hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy227 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 That is a very amazing achievement, kudos to that player. If you enjoy the time you spend its never wasted. I've never once regretted the amount of time I've spent on Runescape. xSoulgazerElysian Sigil ---- 11/24/10 ---- 550M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeltar Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 That is a very amazing achievement, kudos to that player.This kind of silly adulation is the reason that it is not only acceptable but important for people to point out that blowing thousands of hours on a videogame is not an achievement of any sort.

n_odie Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Much of the discussion taking place is borderline harassment on this players playtime and real life circumstances. Walk a mile in their shoes so to speak. We want Tip.It to be an enjoyable place for all players and if said player was reading this thread in the current light it would be very offensive and hurtful. I don't want to lock the thread as I think there is more to be discussed, lets just all try to refrain from "couldn't live with myself" comments.

Emmentail Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Regardless of real life circumstances I think there are better things you could be doing than staring at a computer screen for 9 hours a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krampell Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 So, if it isn't Diamond or whatever that players name was. Is this guy/gal f2p or p2p? How much total xp does the player have?What is he/she doing all day? Pking? Skilling? Or just hanging around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This person has deliberately made themselves a public figure of sorts. He or she should understand that putting yourself in the limelight means you are going to be worshipped by some, and criticized by others. If he or she couldn't deal with that, then this was not the right sort of decision to make. The efforts to discourage or even censor any critique of this individual remind me of someone who tries to get into the Guinness Book of Records for having the longest fingernails, and then complains when people think she looks like a freak. If you want to go to extremes, then deal with the reactions that extremism provokes.

stonewall337 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I had a very good friend with leukemia, who couldn't really get around because of it. She played quite a bit of RS as a result. When I am sick, I play RS quite a bit as well, since there isn't all that much to do. As well, with the economy not being all that great, many people are either jobless, or on reduced hours. There are a number of reasons why people spend a great amount of time scaping. [hide=Drops]Araxxor Eye x1 Leg pieces x2GWD: 5000 Addy bar Steam B Staff x3 Z Spear x6 Sara.

This is a RuneScape fansite forum where naming other players in a negative light is against the rules. These rules do not magically disappear just because a player happens to be listed in Guinness' Book of World Records.Furthermore, you don't know whether they submitted the information to Guinness themself or if someone else did - either way this is not a free ticket to make snide or hurtful comments about any other RS player. That's all there is to this. If you want to suggest a change to the rules, there's always Forum Updates & Suggestions. Laikrob,Tip.It Moderator You're accusing me of bigotry, how ironic. It's a nice attempt at argument, but your responses are facile and asinine, if not diatribe. Who's arrogant now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonewall337 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Criticism=/= naming in a negative light. There has to be some disagreement. However, nothing hurtful is needed.

I don't necessarily agree with Qeltar in his opinion of the player, but I have to agree with him here. Criticism is not tantamount to name-calling. That said, there HAS been a lot of name-calling and mud-slinging in this thread. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to spend (I don't regret it either) 10+ hours a day on Classic some days (weekends) and over 5+ hours every day (week days). I've quite easily beaten that record.And now you want a pat on the back? Anyways, S Diamant Y's first name matches the name stated in the opening post, so it's most definitely her.Upon reading the news yesterday, I visited her Clan Chat and before I could get past "Omfg Sara" (her name is, indeed, Sara), one of the c-mods told me to keep my mouth shut or be kicked (S Diamant Y was in her CC at the time of this). He told me that S Diamant Y says people are just spreading rumors. While the number mentioned along with the RL name do seem to match S Diamant Y, she is NOT Sara Lhadi. Sara Lhadi ≠ S Diamant Y Note: I do not have pictures to back my claim up, but if you would like to enter her chat, somehow ask, and obtain evidence, feel free to post here. ^ Blog.
