It was the first computer game I ever played. I was one of those kids that played outside on the streets all day, but then one day my friend told me to go on my dads computer, and play a game called Runescape. Let's just say I stopped playing outside as frequently as I did after that point.
During my first days I knew nothing about RS, as well as nothing about computers. It's safe to say that I know so much about computers and have more knowledge than the average person because of RS. I have always controlled my playtime, although the only thing that hurts me is the playtime itself because I could be doing more productive things. Only thing I hate about RS is that it's so addicting, even after I quit for a year or a couple of months I always find myself playing again, partially because at times the game can be quite nostalgic for me.
