Heh...you know, runescape does take patience to play. Having a 99 skill is very prestigious... I think of runescape as a hobby, not an obsession, that you have stereotyped every runescape player has having. Sure a lot of people no life...but they will eventually realize that there are more important things in life besides runescape that they need to do. They should keep runescape as a hobby for weekends or something, like i do. I really think runescape teaches diligence, because in order to be any good at the game, you need it. And for the graphics, did you know that Runescape has REALLY good graphics for a java based game? Sure WOW and other games have better graphics, but i dont play games based on their graphics...which everybody does...i play based on the game play and story lines(quests).
