Omali Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 This is about one of my friends irl. For the past year (last school year) he had been asking my why I play such a garbage game like runescape. I told him I find it fun and addictive. I asked him how long he played it, he said he never got past the account creation page. He was basically going off the one sided information another kid told him (who pretty much boasted about using an auto-miner when he did play, by the way) So earlier this month I told him to set up an account. He sets up an account, plays for a while on f2p, and now he's hooked. Does anyone else have a story where they've proven someone's ignorance and shown them how good the game actually is compared to the stereotypes placed on it?

dahui58 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 yea there was this guy in my class, and he used to skit at me and my friend for going on runescape, and he said we were sad, then it started to go about the class that runescape was good, and he decided to try it. Then he became a member not long after, and now outranks me in most of his skills. It just shows how some people follow the crowd. ------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain_Storm97 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Haha! Finally a topic to tell my short story of how my sister got on RS: Me: You should play RS oneday Simone: No ways, RS is boring and repetitive Me: It's not Simone: Yes it is A while later, I asked her to go on RS - try it out, gave her something when she started, and a bit of healthy competitin, nothing to crush her spirits, and soon she had a great accy and eventually admitted she never played RS in the first plac x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow93 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 i tried to convince one of my friends, he made an account on it a long time ago but got stuck on tutorial island (thought he just had to light like 100 fires) and just quit from boredom about a year later i persuaded him to create another account (because he forgot his password lol) and finally got past tutorial island and got lvl 5 then got bored again well he wanted to get a 3rd chance so he created a newer account with another name (he didn't like his other name) and got past tutorial island again and found out the only fun thing in the game is pking.. well after dying at lvl 10 and losing all his tutorial island stuff and got bored from being lost he stopped playing again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeStopper Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 No I don't have any stories like that... all my friends have quit. In fact the person who introduced me to it, quit after I started playing. RuneScape is the Microsoft equivalent of MMOs, everyone says it sucks but they know nuthin'. Like forum text games much?um... from... MARS, yes, in the third county from the... left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 My best friend, he said it didn't intrested him and seemed dumb. When me and my other friend finally convinced him to make a acc...he was 100% additcted :shock: Once I couldn't sleep and woke up at 5 AM, logged on RS and saw him there :shock: (he realllly likes to sleep to! :o) Said he's been waking up at 4:30 for three days in a row :shock: But hes much better now. :) "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

caligula101 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 My friend told me about runescape, I told him it was dumb and that I prefered age of empires. I eventually join because he keeps going on about it and another friend of mine also joined. Well 4 and a half years later despite quitting around 5 times (once for 2 years) I am still playing! The rest of my friends irl have quit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'm an excellent example of not liking Rs (from what a couple of my friends where talking about years ago when they played RSC >> they don't play anymore) and I started then to play RSC and got hooked and then RS2 came out and I've been playing RS up to me stopping.

Overture18 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I have a story of an opposite fate.. Quite awhile ago, I got a friend to play RuneScape with me, and he liked it.. He bought membership within the first ten minutes off Tutorial Island, he played for a week.. Then said that the game was the worst he's ever played.. But, still to this day (This is about two years later) his account is STILL a member, so he's been paying for membership for the WHOLE entire time he hasn't been playing.. Just thought I'd share that. Wha.. What..? Where am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elphinstone Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Yeah, all my friends and my brother have quit RS, and say it sucks... well maybe not my brother, though his account is only lvl25... They paly other games like Knight Online, etc: Anyway, the only person i know that plays RS is my friend (never mind the contradiction) who is a lvl 69 something char, and im rapidly gaining in combat on him.

ryoushinn Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Whenever someone thinks of runescape, the first thing they say is "The graphics suck." Psh, though it may not have the best graphics, i like it. Hehe! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurl Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 About 5 years ago all my friends were trying to get me to play and I wouldn't. I kept telling them it was trash, but they finally got me to play and I was hooked ever since. 123 Combat / 1900 Skill Total / 99 HP / 7x 99 Stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
