Ok, I want to set the record straight that Runescape is not 'gay' and isn't for losers.
I started playing two years and 7 months ago, and since that time I have gotten married...go figure. One of my friends set me up on a date with her, but here's the thing...I started playing Runescape with one of his friends, and then we'd all play runescape together in my apartment...it would be a fun thing to do with my friends. Every other activity in my city would cost tons of money, so runescape would be a very fun and inexpensive activity. Had it not been for runescape, it is likely that my friends would not have come over so frequently, hence I may not have met my wife.
My wife plays this game too, so we find ourselves chatting alot while playing. One of my favorite pasttimes is going on a walk with my wife and discussing goals on runescape. We will end up walking about 2 miles to get to a Mexican Restaurant where I like ordering margaritas and calculating various goals with her about runescape. Thing is we don't always talk about runescape, but it fills in the gaps nicely when we need it to. Either of us will get a goal on runescape, and we'll go out to a restaurant to celebrate...so wouldn't runescape in fact helping us 'go out more'?
Runescape helps keep my math skills up...I do an enormous amount of calculating how much time is needed to attain x goal. There are different methods to get a skill up, so I compare the various methods to arrive at an optimal skill training method. Ancient magics using carralanger teleport gives 112,800 xp per hour, whereas Camelot teleport gives 83,250 xp per hour. But per xp point, carralanger costs a huge amount, so I calculated that casting stun on cows would be more cost efficient, and get me to the goal just as fast as carralanger teleport. Is doing math all the time a bad thing, people?? Sometimes I do calculations based on the game more than the game itself. If you don't play runescape, do you do math that much per day? I bet not. I use spreadsheets to calculate the distribution of runes received from the ZMI alter, entering in all the data from 100+ trips. And that was FUN doing those calculations.
Some people I've met online love chess, and I find myself playing chess sometimes 3/4 of the time, and rs 1/4 of the time. Is chess a bad thing? I don't think so.
Thanks for reading.

All of 'Runescape Mike's' friends eventually died of alzheimer's disease, but because of runescape, Mike's mind was shielded from the effects of this disease. Because he lived 30 years longer than his counterparts, they developed a new technology that would allow Mike to even live 500 years longer. Eventually Mike invented a new form of space flight, and is the reason humans now colonize the entire solar system and beyond.
Thanks runescape, I like pie!

I have to disagree with most people. Runescape is a fun game if you know how to use it right! You don't have to buy a membership theres plenty of fun things to do on basic membership, nobody is pressuring you into it! You have great quests to do and as long as you limit yourself for your playtime you will be just fine.
Chatroom:
LoladuzSoccer: Hey Malina hey Nick wanna play Runescape again?

CrissyYoulike: Sure lets hit Luna Park!!
LoladuzSoccer: Ok see you guys in 15!

1) A MMORPG game that was created back in 2001 on Java. Its graphics are remniscient of 1999, and the language of its players is remniscient of that of an asylum. Thousands of people play this game, sadly, and they actually believe that it will make them better people if they are rich on the game.

People would claim that the only people who say this game is bad, are narrow minded people who think the graphics are crap, and are saying this game sucks for no other reasons, and then claim that it has good gameplay, simply put, they're wrong, very wrong.
I played this game 3 odd years, from about september 2001 (it was kind of fun around then), I played it excessively, through addiction, and i'm telling you, this thing can destroy you.
It doesnt have good gameplay, it is repeatative mindless clicking, on the same process over and over and over, it induces greed and spite in almost everyone who plays it, there is no social base to it.
That should be enough.

Runescape is one of the best games that have ever been invented. If you try all the free and low-budget games, I'm pretty sure you'll play Runescape the most in the end. Runescape is a fun and addictive game that can remain addictive for years. It is a great game that is spreading around the world.

A MMORPG created by the British company Jagex in 1999. The game depicts a medieval fantasy world of men and mystical beasts. Although the graphics were simplistic it had a seductive charm. Slowly all you began to think about is Runescape. Playing Runescape, touching Runescape, feeling Runescape, being Runescape. Unfortunately the game now is nothing and lossed it's appeal and replay value......Before one could play Runescape and gain riches through the huge open world economy, staking in the arena through different modes of combat, and the most exhilarating game activity PKing (player killing). A pker would specalize in hand weapons, archery, or magic. There were also players of low level with high combative skills known as Pures. Unfortunately Jagex held a meeting in the year of 2007, the topic of discussion "How can we take the game loved by million and FUCK IT UP COMPLETELY"."I GOT IT" Said CoCEO GreedMcFuckson.."LET'S LIMIT TRADE TO MINUSCULE AMOUNTS THAT ARE NOT SIGNIFICANT TO PURCHASING ANY HIGHER TIER ITEMS IN THE GAME, ALSO MAKE IT SO FRIENDS CAN'T GIVE FRIEND ITEMS PRO BONO THROUGH TRADE TOO, MAKE IT SO PLAYERS CANT EVEN DROP ITEMS FOR OTHER PLAYERS TO TAKE JUST BECAUSE, TAKE OUT ALL FORMS OF PLAYER KILLING BECAUSE KILLING IS WRONG, THOUGH A WHOLE SOCIETY, CULTURE WAS FOUNDED ON THIS FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT OF THE GAME, TAKE OUT THE ARENA AND REPLACE IT WITH A GIANT TURD SO IT REEKS OF SHIT EVERYTIME A FORMER DUELIST IS NEAR THE AL KHARID DESERT!"
Jesse: "Hey man you ever heard of Runescape?"
Kevin: "Yeah I used to play it, but then Jagex fucking ruined it."
Jesse: "So it's not worth playing now you'd say?"
Kevin: "I would rather perform seppuku upon myself, remove my eviscerated entrails and wrap them around my windpipe so that I may suffocate and die with dignity then play that piece of shit game that those greedy money suckers ruined."
Jesse: "Oh so no then..."

A game people love to bash, despite being fairly good overall. Yes, it's addictive to new players, and there's a lot of grind involved, but coming from the high level community I can say that it's very enjoyable, once you get to the point I'm at at least. If you play like it's your day-job then of course you're going to get addicted and eventually bored of it, and grow to despise it. But once you really get to know the game, it's community, and it's massive YouTube community, the grinding aspect becomes irrelevant and easy, and the game becomes very rewarding (Assuming you actually pay to play, otherwise the game's a massive waste of time with no real goals or purposes.)

Good Player: "I'm gonna go trio Nex (a difficult boss), then go PKing on the pure I made in 4 hours that has a higher total level than you."
