The Way I Started RuneScape

[No_OnE]

About a year ago, my friend told me to try this game. I was all for it at first but then, after seeing the graphics and the horrors of tutorial island, I quit. I tried it again this year in February and I was like, this is okay... I danced in the streets for money and never took it seriously for a week. Then my other friend told me about party hats. I wanted a party hat. That got me motivated to train some combat. Then I experimented with mining and I was hooked. Only 3 weeks after getting f2p, I bought membership... Now, I spend almost all my online time on RuneScape. The only time I'm not on RuneScape is when I'm talking to people on AIM. And I usually do that WHILE playing RuneScape.

 

 

 

Anyway, just felt like contributing this peice of random fact to the world. Enjoy!! :D

awesome, just don't let RuneScape take over your whole life, you'll be stuck if you do that.

Good luck with getting a P-Hat. I've been playing for 4 years and haven't got one. But then again I haven't really tried lol.

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck. 8)

It seems that most newcomers instantly fall in love with mining and smithing, I know I was. Before I knew I would become a member that is.

[Who]

graphics aren't everything :wink:

I met someone really cool who just started who I bought 10k iron ores off. We became really good friends and all, id buy his iron ore every once in a while. He got 81 mining... but now he never plays cause hes soo bored of mining. Dont be like him.

Yea I was driven away by this game's graphics at the beginning too but then I became to slowly like it. I too fell in love with smithing and minning when I first started. I think its like that for most newbies.

So what? I talk on MSN and Play at the same time, sometimes even do homework and PK at the same time.

 

 

 

But no serriously, you have to have a clear separation between your real life and rs life.

 

My mining is just 71, its funny how you mine when u 1st come into the game and then u realise that ull make better money by w/c and then someone gives u a reality check and u go fishing. Well.. it happened to me... but i just realised that its nothign to do with the post so oops :S :wink:

[Risen_The]

Lol, that was the same for me. My friend showed me RS 5 years ago, saw the tutorial island, didn't play after the day I made the account.

 

 

 

2 weeks later, I was bored so I tried to get out from the Tutorial Island which I used to think was the whole RS :oops: , got hooked. Took a 3 year break and here I am again. :lol:

[pkthedreamer]

Lol, I just made a pker yesterday..

 

 

 

Its gonna have 1 def so I need to be able to make all my own armor for that char.

 

 

 

It doesn't need wc so I don't know why I should raise wc for that char besides for money which I can make some other way..

 

 

 

Not gonna transfer any money or items either btw since its illegal.

 

 

 

But yeah, its funny how mining and smithing are the first things that come to mind when you start.

[purkie_103]

mining and smith were my best for a while as well

[Paisua]

Lol, that was the same for me. My friend showed me RS 5 years ago, saw the tutorial island, didn't play after the day I made the account.

 

 

 

There was no tutorial island 5 years ago.

[Umega]

I played runescape for a bit when I had just found out about it, then I quit it for a while because I thought that the combat system sucked, but after 1-2 weeks later I got hooked. :P

[Risen_The]

Lol, that was the same for me. My friend showed me RS 5 years ago, saw the tutorial island, didn't play after the day I made the account.

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but there was. A tutorial place, anyway. It just got updated throughout the years gone.

 

 

 

I know because first thing I did was talk to a NPC you need to talk when you start your account, kill rats. It was also in RSC.

[fearspudgod]

i remember when i started, 40 attack and strength in one weekend :) i was hooked.

[Waffleh]

When I first started I didn't want to mine or smith at all. :P But then around level seventeen I found out I needed money, I started mining-smithing, and thus I am 61 mining.

 

 

 

It was that same day that I started mining that I found out where to see your skills at. :roll:

[ssamriga]

a friend showed me the game in 2001, I was like- omg look at the graphics, Im never gonna play something like that... a month later tried once more, and now here i am with the same first account still playing :)))

[helring]

I found out about the game around April 2004 when I saw someone people playing it in school. I was reluctant to play because I was playing a different on-line game at the time and I knew that if i started playing a different game I would become hooked and stop playing the game I was playing. Well about a month later the game I was playing had a major update which screwed it up so I began playing Runescape and have been hooked on it ever since. :D

Last year of April 05, my friend in computer class was playing it, didnt creat an account because it looked like a game I wouldnt be interested in. But 1 day in computer I was bored so I created an account, played it for a little. 1 weekend i died and lost like 500 gp in stuff, so i quit, but then a couple of days later I gave it a try and got hooked, I quit 2 times. I quit in July before the farming skill came out (for like a week or 2) and I quit in October for like 2 months.

 

 

 

My main goal in rs was to get a santa becuase i just wanted 1, bought my first one in late july for 2.336m. After only 4 months of playing lol.

 

 

 

Right now, most of my friends from school have quit it, only like 2 remain playing it.
