AKM762's Runescape retirement

[Lim_Dul]

My post is coming after a long delay, but I figured I should give some sort of official farewell, even if late. I finally am giving up my two year runescape addiction, after supplanting it with a whole new addiction :lol: .

 

 

 

I'll cite two reasons that I have decided to move on.

 

 

 

The first and most obvious is my new toy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My motorcycle gave me something tangible, to divert my attention away from the monitor. While researching bikes to buy, and then buying one, it gave me a chance to reflect on the staggering volume of time I was dedicating to this MMORPG. Then, the most decisive inspiration hit me like a tidal wave.

 

 

 

The tragedy of The Old Nite passing away raised warning flags in my mind. When I received this terrible news, I was already in a transitioning phase, but it was a wakeup call.

 

 

 

Our lives and our health are fleeting things, which can easily pass us by before we even realize it. I couldn't continue to sit here and let the best of my years slip through my fingers, into a keyboard, any longer. It was like I was trading my real life for a game, because I never could balance it with other aspirations.

 

 

 

Runescape has been a fantastic source of enjoyment and it certainly is hard to walk away from. Each level gained was sweeter than the last, but the skills I trained cannot match the friends I had the privilege to know. These kind acquaintances truly are what make runescape so wonderful. I won't give a list of names because I'm sure I would errantly miss a few, and also, some might object to being mentioned.

 

 

 

Though I am relegating runescape to my past, I will never forget the players and events which shaped my experience. To these people, I'd just like to say thank you and good luck, in whatever you do.

 

 

 

So long Runescape,

[Verie__Bad]

:( :cry:

 

 

 

we never had a conversation or something but i wanna ask 2 things

 

before i say you goodbye

 

 

 

1. what will happen with the top 100 f2p sticky?

 

 

 

2. will statgod2 ever play again or did he quit the game? i havent seen him for like 3 months or so when he said to me he was going to have dinner

 

 

 

...goodbye

[ishepp]

Sad to see another great player quitting, but at least you have the right perspective on life.

 

 

 

You achieved a huge amount in game, and inspired a lot of f2pers.

 

 

 

Good luck with whatever you do next in life (and enjoy your new toy 8-) )

[un1kmage]
