Hi.
I am an ex-runescape player. The game has changed my life dramatically, in fact, if it wasn't for RuneScape I wouldn't be here posting right now. I was always spending my time in RuneScape trying to make money, even if that included cheating. That's how I came about Sythe. RuneScape has actually put weight on me. I remember myself being this little 90 lb child, but now I am a 115 thanks to a pixelated game. They need some such of a health issue: "Warning, please play responsibly"
Also, the game is very addicting. Once you're addicted, you can't really stop. Its like smoking.
The game has tore me apart from my family and friends. 1. I don't think any of your friends think RuneScape is COOL. 2. You're playing the game when you could actually be having family time or friends time.
I stayed home every day, lost loads of friends, just because I didn't talk to them anymore. I am much further away from my family, this is all because of an online game.
The hours you play the game, which for most people are 6 hours a day! Can you believe that? 6 hours of your computer running straight. It may not seem like it, but thats LOTS of time and your computer needs a break too. I went through an entire computer in 2 years just because I was running it all the freaking time.
Doesn't this want to make you stop?
The only reason that the game is still there is because they're making ass loads of money. Think of it, membership coming in from all over the world! They get paid a lot of money every month...
The updates keep people playing too! Well, most of them.. The "cool" updates (like graphics) are supposed to attract people. This graphics update, though, was just brought to RuneScape to try and refresh the minds of the people angry because of lost free trade and PK. It more than likely worked too, but I haven't been playing to find out.
I guess I am not saying you HAVE to quit this game, you should set yourself a time limit for the game. I would say 2 hours MAXIMUM.
And, if you are really into the game, don't buy/sell/trade accounts! Do not buy RSGP! When you do it all on your own and get whatever you want, you will have a happier pixel pleasure when you can say "I did it on my own"

). And as I said in the exercise thread, I'm getting 4-5 hours of working out a day, and during the middle of the day I usually hang out with friends, but if not I've got 3-5 hours of sitting on my ass watching tv, and some of that time playing runescape... Really not a big deal, it's fun because it's something I can do to pass time when I have nothing better to do, plus its cheap.
Runescape is err.. WAS addictive but that doesn't mean you should no life it 
So it isn't a reason to quit
