n64jive Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 because a small % of the rs population are no lifeing nerds who dont hang out with their friends, and the rest of us play rs on the side. So ppl take the minority and use it against the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some advice from someone who has been playing this game all throughout high school. Stop playing for a couple years, dont let runescape take your life over. I used to play everyday, 5 hours a day minimum when I was about 14. I became a loser. I did this for about a year until I started hanging out. Runescape isnt even close to "fun". Go chill with some buddies, get to know people, and play runescape CASUALLY. It isnt worth wasting your high school years on a game. I had the best time in high school and I highly recommend you try to have a good time cause when you get outta school your regret every single moment you werent with your friends. By the way, im 18 now. Just stop playing so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Technically, it is socialising. But I'd rather not socialise at all then socialise with a bunch of 12 year olds saying "Be my gf plz". Yes, I'm a man. The way I see it, with the majority of the RS population, you're socialising death itself. Get a social "life" would be another way of RUN AND SAVE YOURSELF!!! This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hang out with friends whenever they invite me places, I workout, and i do charity bike rides for the MS society. So ya, some of both.

You should do what you like to do, not force yourself to be "cool". :roll: Did you even read what he said? He wasn't talking about "being cool", he was saying that you should spend your high school years enjoying yourself and socializing. If your going to criticize someone, do it right. Well, one other thing I've learned about how to deal with people who accuse one "not having a social life" is to reply with a simple joke. Since we use shorthand in the game a simple "lol" will nearly always suffice. I've seen people freak out when people say they don't have a life, saying c**p like "I'm on a national soccer team, and we play worldwide" and other things like that. Though its true sometimes (but not usually) its agganizing to watch how they react to such comments. By saying "lol" you end the conversation with the immature noob at least 90% of the time, and on a good note at that. Also, as said before, there's another thread about this. Lets let this thread die and move conversations and arguments there.

You make it sound as though he's telling him to conform to some mold to become cool. That's not the case. All he's saying is that, no matter how much some people would claim it such, RS isn't life. To spend all your free time on a game of some of the freest years of your life would be a total waste. You'll look back on it and find yourself disappointed that the culmination of the past few years of your life is a character on a game. Go out and meet people. Spend your time socializing and experiencing things in the real world. Play RS. Enjoy it. But don't let it take over your life. Play it, when and only when there's nothing to do with your friends. Don't wait for something to materialize. Rs should be your last resort for entertainment, not your first. I play. I play a lot. But I do it, like the majority of people, when I have nothing to do. My weekends are rarely occupied with rs. That's not "cool" as Nadril said. That's healthy. 124 CombatRetired Echo of Silence Councilhttp://rseos.com/forums/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And... oh, what the hell, I'm not going. :lol: I think that runescape is a perfectly fine activity so long as it's not addicting...For example, given the opportunity, you would go out with your friends to the local cafe or to a movie. Runescape should only be an option when you really have nothing else to do. That's when it's fun. :) Runescape Name: "unbug07"Expand your mind.

scruffman Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 for me in northern canada, we have harsh winters, and most of my friends live like a half hour walk away, and its hell in the cold, so in the winter i usually play rs and talk to them on msn during weeknights. on weekends i usually go skidooing, or skiing, and barely play rs at all on weekends. in summer, barely ever play rs cause we can bike to eachothers houses (or i could if my bike wasn't stolen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighs Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I agree with the general consensus in this thread- have a social life, meet with your friends, and only play RS when you have nothing else to do. However, what if all of your IRL friends play RS and that is where you most often meet with them? Is meeting up with a friend to train on Shadow Warriors or play a minigame or go pking "socializing?" And if it is, is it any legitimate substitute for real life interaction? I think that it isn't, but it does count for far more than playing RS with strangers.

The bad thing is that I'm too shy to do the first step (ask them out.) And I have good friends so don't tell me I have no friends lol. Ya, I'm really shy too (though I've gone a few dates, I've been so shy that its always the girl that asks me out lol). And as I've said before, no need to defend yourselve; your not being accused of anything. This is just a general discussion.
