I totally agree with this. It's just a game for me. I don't care if I'm killing pretend dudes or making pretend potions at max efficiency. I find DIYing pretty satisfying and like the challenge.
None of these bother me (I'm too old to care what some stranger on the internet thinks of me), but "nerd" is pretty funny to me, because, uh...you're playing the game, too. NERD!
I played WoW on and off for a while. I love the setting, but the pace of it isn't for me. I just can't bring myself to care about raiding and therefore leveling as fast as possible, and the friends I have who play are all into that aspect of it.
Hi, I'm a RuneScape newbie...sort of. I first had an account years ago, and my interest was rekindled when I heard of all the changes they've made and the upcoming return of free trade. So I decided to completely start over on RS, and this site has been really helpful so far.
