Striker6 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Lol edge, give him a break this is a discussion. I have to say I enjoy pking alot. I'm not the best but it keeps you on your toes very fun and best part of the game! However I actually like mining although it can boring I like gathering ores (especially coal) for some reason it gives a good deal of satisfaction. Well hope that fits your criteria, peace out, or whatever you young whipersnappers say nowadays. ^^don't ask :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfilc23 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 It's a good question and frankly I'm not sure why...LOL. I've played this account off and on since like 2001 (yes, I was around during all the rare drops, but never logged in on the actual holidays...and no I never complained about it). I actually created my first character when RS was very first released, but it was so laggy on my connection it was unplayable. There have been spans where I didn't play for up to a year or more. Sometimes have played 4-5 hrs a day and others less than 1 hour. Anyway, I think I'm not the typical RS player. I don't PK, I don't CW, I don't merchant, I don't do quests unless they'll give me an advantage in training skills and I don't chat with friends (actually there's only one person I talk to much...and he does most of the talking...LOL). I do enjoy training skils, exploring, and making money (through honest hard work). I've found that I'm always into something, whether it be RS, Utopia (online strat game I played for ~5 yrs), Yahoo Hold 'Em Poker, or another PC game (such as Oblivion, or Call of Duty). So, why Runescape? First, I've always been into fantasy stuff...I love reading fantasy genre books, playing RPGs, etc. Also, I like the fact that skills-wise you're only in competition with yourself (unless maybe you're at the top of hi-scores). In games like Utopia, they reset every few months and everyone starts over...so you always have the chance of reaching the top of hi-scores (but of course you never do, cuz someone else has way more time to play than you). In RS, I have no disillusions that I'll ever be anything exceptional. I accept that and I play for myself and my own goals. I don't compare myself (or items I have) to other players. I just set a goal, whether it be making a certain amount of money or raising a skill(s) and work towards it. It's very satisfying when I reach it. What I really enjoy, is the statistical and strategic aspects. For example, I like calculating how many lobs I need to catch to to reach next level and exactly how much cooking xp I'll have after I cook em. I like planning what I'm going to do next and then after that...etc. Some might think I'd be just as happy playing a standalone game, but I really like the economy of multi-player. I think it's interesting to watch prices and see how they change over the course of time. It's cool to think I might make something that some other player wants to buy. While I'm usually annoyed by other player's talk, occasionally, I'm entertained. Finally, for the most part, RS relaxes me (the exception is pickpocketing...makes my heart race for some reason...guess it's the fast-paced clicking). Otherwise, it is a lesiurely way to spend my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteboy1102 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 The thing that keeps me coming back is the goals I have set for myself and my devotion to my clan. \ \ And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
