Why is RuneScape Addicting?
This question means different things to all of us. Over time RuneScape has evolved and the reason why we play the game could have fluctuated, maybe it was to pass time, maybe your just a little kid with nothing better to do, or maybe it was the pure fun factor of the game that had you coming back for more like that girl you know in school. Its different for all of us, but ill tell you guys about me.
I started playing RuneScape in December of 2004, and i was around 12 years old. I had alot of time. I wish i had that much now. Anyway, you know, tech was still evolving, its always evolving. I was just simply hooked on the game. I started off with a level 70 that my friend told me to cut wood for him. Little did i know he was using me to make cash, so i made up around 300k gold and one day i tried to login and i couldn’t! Well turns out my friend took the account back. But there is one thing i realized after that, i was good at making money. I knew how to work hard and achieve, and since there were no macro bot armies or anything back then well, legal gold making was easy!
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.
The road till maxing out Runescape
Hopefully by telling you about how I spent my 6,5 years playing this game I can give you a better insight in how things used to be and how they changed. Also showing you how it all happened for me, off course I realize that everyone will have a completely different story to tell and everyone plays Runescape in their own way. If it sounds like a bragging story sometimes this isn’t my intention at all. I am afraid that it will be pretty self centered because I don’t remember a whole lot about years ago only what I was doing at that time. But I hope you will enjoy reading what I’ve been up to the last 6,5 years.
House Parties are fun!
Good day one and all!
It certainly has been some time since my last article. I am terribly sorry for the unexpected hiatus! However, I am back and I am here with a present.
Speaking of presents, I want to present a very special presentation that will hopefully present to me some very presentable responses from you!
I am very happy to announce that The Runescape Blog has made its first Vlog (Video Blog!) and we are possibly the first Runescape-centered blog to do so! It is quite a large video, around thirty-five minutes long and i have embedded it below. Enjoy!
The RuneScape Community
I’m sure a lot of you are veteran players of the game or at least have been around for awhile. Can you recall how the old RuneScape community used to be? If you can, compare that time to how it is today and I think we can come to a mutual conclusion that it has taken a big nosedive. Here, if you don’t remember, picture this; a game full of helpful players that had some degree of respect for each other and with the patience to help out newer players. It was just an all around positive atmosphere. This is the community I remember; it of course may be different for everyone.
