Why are people addicted to runescape?

Oh nah, I just probably took that whole "what will this amount to" thing too seriously; I wasn't trying to say you hate fun or anything. XD

I can see where it would feel a bit depressing to look back on the fact that you've only been doing one thing all those years, not really getting to experience anything else. Technology now, especially things like phones and tablets that can do almost anything...kind of makes it that much easier to shut off everything around you and will only further that possibility in the future.

I'm glad that I can look back on doing a whole bunch of stuff during my childhood(before all of this 'all in one' stuff came out/became mainstream); I remember the little family trips to the zoo over the summer, etc. when possible, sleepovers, playing some games, going to the playground, getting together on holidays and actually having a good time conversating, etc...I can go on.

The pace technology is advancing makes it seem so far, far away. Kind of crazy how my little cousin wanted an iPad for Christmas(and she's only 8 at that) when I remember wanting stuff like an easy bake oven at that age, which I usually ended up pretending I was a baker with and made little cakes for my parents and stuff, lol.

I know you love my thread and everything but can you please continue writing your essays on PM, thanks. P.sMODS CAN I REQUEST A LOCK PLEASE

Yeah, I admit I got carried away a bit but I wasn't the only one; not even sure whether you are being serious or if it's just another smart remark...either way, I'll help you out by requesting a lock too.

I no lifed alot when I was younger, I'm not sure why, I just enjoyed the game. And personally, I dont see it as a waste of time if your doing what you enjoy doing. If a person loves to smoke pot, and all they do is smoke pot, they arent wasting their life, they are living it in a way they enjoy it. I don't play to often anymore though. A few hours a day max, sometimes only once or twice a week

People tends to blame the game and the kids way to much in these situations. There is a reason that kids who get addicted play the game. Most times the parents would punish the kids or restrict the kid, making the kid wanting to get away from the reality for a longer period of time.
