ok :shock: another topic which i will be happy even it is as half decent as my old topic which still is going strong :P

 

again not sure if this hasnt been posted but im too lazy to search and internet = rubbish......

 

 

 

so what is the main reason or reasons you play rs??? what makes rs that little bit more bearable? :P

 

 

 

E.g (fun things to do that brighten your day :P some things like barrows,pking,staking or maybe my personal favourite runecrafting :oops: )

 

 

 

EDIT: seems like you lot cant say what you enjoy in this game best...not hard :? so ill leave this unless it suddenly picks up :boohoo:

 

 

 

EDIT 2: i was wrong let this thread continue =D> :P

Because I enjoy it. Why play it if you dont enjoy it?

yep in general g)ood point...but what is your favourite thing to do??? basically thats the main question (what makes rs more bearable :P

what makes rs more bearable

 

 

 

Enjoying it.

:( ............if you enjoy everything equally thats fine but theres got to be something thats set apart from the rest :?

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

seems like my quoting is not very good... homemade quoting everyone :P

If you have to question why you play then you really shouldn't play at all.

I like to train my skills. I get satisfaction out of raising my total and having something I can brag about.

 

(By the way, I have 1701 skill total, 18.7m fletch exp, 108 combat, 2 green masks, and millions worth in raw materials. But no money. \ )

Castle Wars, Barrows.

:shock: thats the kind of answers i was expecting :D no money...its rubbish i cant even afford a whip now but have tons of matierals and rares lol

well put.

i play for :-k well i play for some cool people i have met.. and to relax.. fishing!! ftw

slayer, quests, and mini-games. Those are what make this game worth staying.

hmm, i did play for stats and friends, now i'm just logging on to collect miscallenia

I mostly play cuz i have fun with my friends. IE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At pest control

 

 

 

 

 

 

If we're not together, i just find some mindless task to do.

shizzle thats weird outfit but looks good :P

nostalgia

I play for levels, levels and umm more levels. I enjoy being with freinds when I kill abby's cause otherwise I get bored silly up in that tower. :wink: Oh and I like doing the quests, if I am in the right mood to do them.

me and a few friends play it and i like to be able to brag about stuff to them :) also i enjoy playing the game, it somehow relax's me with all those CONGRATULATIONS signs popping up, gives me a sence of satisfaction.

yep you should get alot of congratulations signs lol

 

 

 

level 2 construction ftw :P

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.

friends make rs bearable :) :D

The thing that keeps me coming back is the goals I have set for myself and my devotion to my clan. \ \
