My parents tried to make me quit playing, but I didnt listen to RuneScape gold them, I played 8 hours a day weekdays and 10+ hours on weekends, I hardly passed my courses and skipped school often. This is my everyday life, I often found myself playing this game and bypassing school, ditching friends, doing nothing but sitting on my pc daily. 1 time I overeat close to 18+ hours a day for 7 days. All of it came to stop at the end of the senior year when my runescape account bunny_mgl was prohibited, I had been selling the game things on ebay.
My 3 years of work came to finish, I was among the richest player in the game. Looking back at what I did and how I missed and I wanted to kill myself. I was so angry that my job was erased, that my parents hated me since I treated them like crap, just friend I had was on the game, My teacher told me to see the school nurse and she referred me to visit Psychiatrist, we spoke for 30 mins and I had been taken in a police car to mental institution for getting suicidel thoughts. When I told the psychiatrist who I had purchased 5 extacy pill and believed about over-dosing myself with it, I'm not the only one from runescape to have a life in this way.
This sport Runescape is such an evil game, you literally have to play 10 hours a day for a month or two to complete one ability and theres 20+ skills, the made of the game, JAGEX company hired Psychologists to make the game addicting so that they could remove from a million people 5$ a month to play the match, in this game there's roughly 150-300 million people that are addicted to this game and their lives have been eaten. There is at any given time 100-200 million people playing this game.
I would like to rescue the other men and women who awakened into this game just like I had, I want these huge corporations to quit creating these games so addicting and time consuming and eating lives of others. I believe my account getting banned has been a help from god to get back to my life. Now I am in college 3rd year, I have a joyful life. I go to church on sundays and spend some time with my family. I wished to bomb the head quarters of the game company but I dont think voilence will solve this. And runescape isnt the only game that is eating people's lifestyles.
As this is intended to be a discussion, I will post the query first, then follow up with my opinion. Also, I will be using the acronym pf2p to imply pure free to perform , namely a participant that has never been a member at any moment in his RS"life" for brevity's sake. Do you believe that players who achieve skillcapes as pure f2p's deserve greater recognition than associates who achieved the exact same skillcape in a shorter period of time? (Note: this is for skills that both members and f2p's have access to, to compare otherwise could be quite stupid. Also, I DO understand that free players have to pay 6 bucks to get their skillcape. What I mean with a Pf2p is somebody that has achieved a 99 as a pf2p, but only pays 6 bucks without training that skill at all to buy the skillcape, NOT someone that waits until he is 90 and switches into OSRS Gold For Sale member for faster leveling.)
