How has runescape damaged your life?

[Punjabi3]

Wasted $1200 staking lol other than that I trained all in the wild before it was removed so I had fun playing it, spent 2 years getting 99 str pking and 6 months with bots getting maxed... Quitting was the best thing I ever did

The only thing I could really think of is I probaly spent time playing when I could have been studying. So runescape pmaybe made me get lower grades at school not that it really bothers me. Friends and social life was always a higher priority even when I was highly addicted to the game.

My total rs time played on my journal says 360 days and 15 hours. Now if that was focused onto something more productive.... But yea it made me get bad grades back in school for a while made me lazy and just wasted time tbh.

Absolutely that. Basicly a year from my life thrown away

Extremely, i read someone commented about painkillers, ive had similar problem, i used to be addicted to painkillers and play runescape, maybe its related.

 

Runescape affected my school grades in primary school and in early high school. I'd rush ALL my homework just to hop onto Runescape for a couple hours and stare at my Rune scimitar(serious)

Sorry if this is spam as I have no other friends yeah might sound like I'm crying to sythe; But the sad thing that its true.

My close friends know I play, yet they still see me the same since we get a long very well. New friends can be made any day anytime, just gotta find the right ones who will respect you regardless what you play

Blaming Runescape for your problems is like blaming a casino for you being wiped of your cash. You were the reason that it happened, you can control it or seek help for a problem that exists. Except maybe being bullied about it, but any other problems is your own fault so you really can't blame RS for it. I guess people don't know what self-control is, which I suppose could be excusable if you are like 11 or 12 but if you are like 18+ blaming RS for your problems it is rather sad...


The worse thing that happened to me was that I wasted money on membership.

...and we're told that botting damages the game? More like the game damages people.. Fuck Jagex!

 

[Robtuc2]

Damaged my social life partly when I was leading a pure clan and turning down going to parties to lead weekend pk trips apart from that not really at all, My friends know I play it and my girlfriend does.

Probably just alot of time wasted that's all for a game I never will receive any positive influence or something to help me with my life. It's addicting just like anything else can be. I believe though that it's not a bad thing to do as long as you don't let it take over your life, meaning only putting Runescape as your number one priority over everything else.


I guess I shouldn't complain though as I didn't play anything else besides Runescape - hell haven't console gamed for 6 years. There are people who play Xbox, console gaming for hours AND Runescape AND WoW. xD

I might have to say though I wish I never gotten into blackmarket for Runescape as I have lost $1000 in the process from being scammed.

That's basically a longer version of what I said =P

it hasn't ruined my life at all....Runescape is like anything else, its up to you to moderate yourself...

But...I guess I could say that is has "damaged" my life by having me pay for memberships, but that's my choice and it provides me with entertainment...So I stick to my original statement, it hasn't damaged my life at all...

 

[TheLuckyNub]

It has damaged my life everyday at school.

Edit: As I get bullied about playing it.

That happened to me, just pretend you quit etc, and don't even tell your closest friends just incase they leak it, like they did to me -.- so I then had to pretend quit AGAIN, then I carried on for another year without anyone knowing, then my mate told me hes started again, so only me and my best mate I trust know, and family but they won't tell anyone, I still get the occasional "shut up bill, you play rs" when they have no come backs haha.

Now, its effected me being tired for staying up late, and sleeping in school haha, also I get called a RS nerd once in a while, but I can deal with it, not really effected me, I'd rather have this and play RuneScape and have fun than not play RuneScape at all.

 

[Realsies]

honestly...if you guys have to "hide" the games you play..that's pretty sad and also sort of tells the kind of person you are...

My gf knows I play rs, my daughter plays rs (sorta, she is 6..lol) and my friends know I play rs...it's just a game...I don't get why people think that playing a 360 for 12 hours a day is any better then playing rs for 2...

 

[slysteeler]

It hasn't really damaged my social life since most of my friends played Runescape at one point or another in their teens, a lot of them actually think it's a good game, but can't be arsed to pay the subscription fee for membs.

one word. Sleep.
