February 22, 200719 yr I agree....runescape is way to addicting. You think jagex cares? Thanks to the amazing talent of Jopie211 for the sig!Finest Fist of Guthix Strategy Guide
February 22, 200719 yr runescape is addicting. but after you get past that stage, you can control yourself. if you can control your playing time, your social life should be find. Retired from runescape. I will be on every now and then though. :)
February 22, 200719 yr Many f2p players beg and cry for their parents to upgrade them so they can make millions being a member. I have not yet gotten to this stage and I don't think I will. Mostly because my mom has realised I am getting addicted and I am only allowed an hour a day so now I do this in my spare time. You've been playing for four days and both you and your parents find you becoming addicted? You are in for a long bumpy road my friend. You have barely even started. You don't realize how much dedication and work some people put into the game. That's why getting hacked is one of the most glorious days in some peoples lives. Because they finally have a reason to quit Runescape. Once you get your levels up some more you will realize how hard it actually becomes to go from level to level. You want to play more and more because you are not gaining levels as fast as you used to, and you think there is a problem. You will seek P2P for the answers to your problems. You will get P2P only to find more things to do and more places to explore. Then my friend, you will be sucked into the life of RuneScape. You cannot start ranting about something you soon will become. Training my pure!
February 22, 200719 yr Only the person playing it makes a game addicting. If it's a game they end up liking a lot, people tend to get addicted to the game. I'm addicted, but then again I go out a lot and hang out with friends. And when I'm on, I'm rarely on more than 2 hours nowadays. I have a life, and as I said, it's the games appeal to the individual customer that makes it addicting, not the actual game. In other words, the customer playing it has the choice of getting addicted or not, okay so nevermind, the game DOES have some part in being addicting, this is the appeal of the game, but in all essence, it's the player or customer who makes it addicting or not. :) Wolfy is Officially Retired.I miss you all (Well, mostly my friends n stuff)If you want to talk to me, send me a message, I check the boards daily. :D
February 22, 200719 yr Author Im also calling youre bluff on this one I'm afraid. You claim to have been playing for just 4 days, yet you have 136 posts, which you claim are all good posts, and you have already found the time to research the most expensive items in the game, and get a good grasp of Pking situations, and also find the time to make a decent quality pixel sig. Sorry buddy, but April Fools day aint for another 5 weeks yet. On topic though, yes, Runescape is an addictive game and thats a well known fact. It stems from never being able to fully coplete the game, due to weekly updates and the sheer size of the game. If you are a person with a slightly lower willpower, like myself, you will struggle to kick Runescape ou of your life, you have to gradually get tired of it, and let it drift away over time. And as Dalcyte says, no-one can tell you that you play 'too much' - that is for you to decide, based upon how much free time you have, and how you want to spend that free time. I had a main with 9.6 blackmarks. Stopped playing for a year or so, came back and started this account. Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
February 22, 200719 yr no f2p = no new players = no runescape :roll: adds + f2pers = more money then jagex ever will make with p2p ^^ click my sig for my lesser ranging guide ^^jwrm22: 4816th > 99 cooking 100% f2p !1172 total! + 140mil in items.i dont play anymore... i think rs is ruined
February 22, 200719 yr Author Interesting sig, pretty much supporting luring tbh... Interesting post, pretty much supporting spamming tbh. Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

So this quote of yours was pretty much a full on lie? I have been playing for only a few days 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength
February 22, 200719 yr i find it only kind of addicting, in that if I am by myself I would either be playing rs or working on my car! a year ago I was more addicted than I am now. I don't let it run my life, and I would MUCH rather be playing hockey or hanging with my friends than playing runescape... much as I enjoy runescape. goal:1000 total f2p lvls.
February 22, 200719 yr I can't believe how much runescape affects some peoples lives. How hard is it to just ring up some friends and do something together? Football? Go for a meal? Or even just chillin somewhere. I understand that some people over play during the winter time, because of the weather and the lack of light hours - i'm guilty of that too. But going out is a higher priority than runescape in my books. What worries me is when people spend summer time (in the UK) inside, sat down in front of a television screen or monitor. It does worry me.
February 22, 200719 yr What worries me is when people spend summer time (in the UK) inside, sat down in front of a television screen or monitor. It does worry me. Hehe... Hammock + laptop + wireless internet connection = Runescape and being outside 8-) I don't take the laptop to the beach though -- the sand is bad for it :shock:

Our hub is at the front of the house. BUT STILL, appreciate the outside.
February 22, 200719 yr After your "NEW" stages you can quickly control your game-playing hours because after you've done most of the quest, got to wear rune armor and whatnot...you start getting bored. And then some of you have your "NEW member" stages....gotta get past that too. lol Jagex should like shut down Runescape during the mid-summer forcing lots of kids to do some exercise... Thanks to the amazing talent of Jopie211 for the sig!Finest Fist of Guthix Strategy Guide
February 22, 200719 yr Jagex should like shut down Runescape during the mid-summer forcing lots of kids to do some exercise... they should also supply heart rate monitors that check your heart rate every 60 minutes, which is when you get off your backside and do 15 minutes of 3/4 pace jogging on the spot. If you fail to reach above 70% of your maximum heart rate, you get a temporary ban and an electric shock. [/sarcasm] eek, that's a bit extreme.
February 22, 200719 yr I cant see why people are so gullable to just follow other people's opinions. Ill try to give you my story. On my elementary school I was often bullied and teased and what not, even on that new highschool I was always down. To a point wich I dont give a darn about peoples opinion about me anymore. If you really have parents, friends, and who and what not saying you play too much, and you think that too, cut down on rs. Seriously. If people start saying you play too much, if your only playing 6 hours a day on an day off. And its snowy, rainy outside. Then what else would you do? Get hooked on another thing? You only play too much, when it effects your life. And you can only cut off from Rs, if you and YOU only acknowledge the fact that your an addict. Not by other people. So I dont see why Rs is soo addicting, sure some people play way too much. But by generalisation, people think everyone is going to get addicted. Same way as with World of Warcraft. Rs is not too addicting, you can easily quit if you want. Interrested in joining the cabbagy madness?

I know I am being a hypocrite but I can understand paying 5 dollars a month but then their are those people who buy all of their RUNESCAPE money off of Ebay and spend hundereds of dollars! That is outrageous and when you need to admit you have a bit of a problem. Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
February 22, 200719 yr Those are not people that have something loose in their heads, their just way too lazy to make it on a legal way. Same way is with those WoW golddiggers.

February 22, 200719 yr Author Your probily the 1st person to acutely understand what I am saying! =D> Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
February 22, 200719 yr RS is a frekin addicting drug. It would b stupid beyond measure 2 cut out F2p worlds. Then again most things JaGex does is stupid beyond measure -.- el-oh-el jk i hope these autoers are ready cause here comes tztok-JaGeX!!!
February 23, 200719 yr Here in Dairyland (Wisconsin, for you non-Americans) its been about negative bajillion degrees plus wind and snow. Its finally starting to thaw out, after a mild begining of winter, and a harsh mid-winter. There's really nothing to do unless you plan being tomorrow's headline: TEENAGER FOUND FROZEN SOLID OUTSIDE!!! PARENTS CLAIM CABIN FEVER WAS TO BLAME!!! COMPUTER HAS BEGUN GREIVING AFTER ONLY ONE DAY OF NO RUNESCAPE!!!!
February 23, 200719 yr hmmm very interesting perspective, I used to be very addictive to Runescape then after I quit my membership I really hardly play Runescape anymore, yes I will go on once to do stuff with my clan but rarely log on to train a skill anymore.
February 23, 200719 yr I prefer real life to runescape life... I only play it when I have free time( which is alot nowadays -.- ) If a friend asks me to go out/do some stuff i will NEVER tell him/her that I can't come because I have a pktrip/whatever on runescape :roll: And joes_so_cool, aren't black marks from june or something? So your main can't have had 9.6marks? :shame: :roll: :-k
February 23, 200719 yr Author Check out this weeks' Tip.It Times... 8-). Look when I posted this (the 21st :) ) As for the other guy. My main has 9.6 black marks and received them in early Janurary. Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
