I understand the taboo thing, kinda. It's not so much of a problem where I live, but if you talk about runescape in front of the wrong people you'll get laughed at. The worst offender I know would be the local WoW fan. I get along with him on most subjects, but when we discuss gaming... What I don't get is that the only really negative thing he has to say about runescape is "The graphics suck." or something similar. Frankly, I don't care. I enjoy playing runescape in my free time, and the best thing about it (to me) is that it never seems to get old. I've been playing for (maybe) 3 years now, and it's still entertaining. Being completely honest, the only other game that can hold my interest that long and still have me coming back for more is pokemon...seriously, I'm not joking about that even one bit. Come to think of it, pokemon is even more taboo than runescape...
