Runescape Addiction - My Story
Many people believe that MMORPGs such as Runescape and World Of Warcraft are more addicting than most drugs. I am a strong believer of this, although it is a lot easier to break a computer game addiction than it is to break a drug addiction, this post is to illustrate the addicting, and lively effects the game had on my life and the problems it has caused me. From buying and selling Runescape black market goods, to getting pk’d in the wilderness. My Runescape experience unleashed to the world in this exclusive post. I know The Runescape Blog has had articles about the addicting aspects of Runescape in the past, but this is ‘My Story’.
In a small unknown town a young computer nerd sat and waited for his teacher to arrive to class. What another kid in this young, future Runescape addict’s class said next, would be the birth of an addiction causing loss of time, life, money, and energy.
Farming: A Critical Look
So, I decided that I want to start taking critical looks at all of the skills of RuneScape.
My first will be Farming.
Farming is one of the hardest skills to train in RuneScape, as it takes much time and effort outside of Farming to get seeds, and then it takes much time and effort inside Farming to get levels. If you can get a high level in this skill, I respect you, as should the RuneScape community. That being said, I still feel as though the skill is useless.
Ok. So we have all heard rants and complaints about the changes Jagex made. Taking away Pking, adding BH, Clan Wars, etc. But for once, I think I have a logical argument as to what went wrong besides the “OMG LOL HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE MONEYS?” and the “WHY YOU DO DAT? HIT SYSTUM RESTUR!!!!” arguments. Hear me out. Read more »
December 2005 is when I first tasted RuneScape. Oh glorious and addicting RuneScape. It drove me in like drugs, I could never ever get enough. I would login with any spare time I had; after school ( sometimes even before school ), almost all of the weekends, and just generally any moment I had where I wasn’t seriously obligated to do anything. RuneScape started to take over my life with a fury. I soon started to get more of my friends to play it and that’s all we pretty much did, at school we would talk about RuneScape at least once in most of our conversations. Subjects such as “Omfg, I lost my full set of rune yesterday” or ” I got scammed or hacked” were not all that uncommon. It’s pretty much what our lives revolved around, RuneScape.
