I remember the first time I had ever set foot in the world of runescape, I had finished the tutorial relatively quickly and soon found myself in lumbrage square alone and overwhelmed by the world before me. During my period of extreme noobishness I made money by killing chickens and selling the feathers at a fishing store, at the time this seemed like a good idea I had my full mithril, and my two handed adamant sword, while these items are cheap and bad quality for me now, when I had first bought them I had a true sense of pride in my accomplishment, I bragged about it to friends.... well not really, but I actually felt like I had done something special. Then I got good at the game. On my second account I immediately began grinding my fishing level and within the time it took to get that full mithril before, now I had over 5 million coins at level 20 (I am not bragging I know other people have skillcapes at level 3 its just part of the story) This money bought me everything I could possibly need or want at the time, but I had lost the true sense of pride I had felt in my accomplishments that I had once possessed. So my question is it better to be a noob and feel genuine pride in your accomplishments, or to be better and not care when you spend a few million, because I remember when I smiled because I could afford a Runescape Haircut, and damn did it feel good.

It appears you posted this in the wrong section. I had more fun when I first started because everything was new and I liked to explore. I still enjoy playing, though.
