I don't regret it.. I enjoy playing it and I enjoy my social life equal. Why do something that you regret? Waste of life.

This.

I suck at time management and lack sufficient common sense for survival but hey, I enjoy what I do. I play RS for leisure and I have a social life as well which makes me broke and more inactive than half the council.

Yeah, why waste your life trying to be successful, just enjoy it.

I don't think time playing RS is regretable, it's something to do when there is nothing else to do, or when you can't do something else. You wouldn't be able to keep yourself entertained for that long without RS with nothing to do.

Runescape has drawn me away from shiver chunk of the rest of my life, but I do not regret it. Yes, my social life and school grades took a hit, but I was learning many important skills, namely leadership, web design, advertising, html, world cultures, time zone, time management, friendship building skills, and so many other things. I am a better person for being in wg. If it was just runescape then yes, I would regret

I also made some good friends.

Not at all. I learned some good lessons from RS: patience, caution, foresight, etc.
Although, a lot of those values were there from the beginning, my experiences in RS helped build on them.

The years I spent on RS would have probably been "better" had I done other, more productive things... but I know there are some people that will never know the crap we've been through... and, in my opinion, that gives us a certain advantage of our own in life.

Perhaps I regret spending too much time on the game itself.

But without experiencing WG I probably wouldn't be the same person today, and I f'in like it being me. hash.png

WG is what shaped me positively.

Runescape just brought me to WG, aside from that it ruined me

Do I regret finding out about RuneScape?

No, not really. As said before it helped mature me as a person and it did help me gain some skills. Maybe I my life could have been better without finding out about RuneScape, but at the same time it might have turned for the worse as well. I'm happy with where my life is at the moment and the direction it's headed.

Everyone who said yes always backs it up with: "So i could do more in real life" "learned guitar" etc etc.

Well, I did them things along side playing runescape. Runescape is just there for your spare time when nothing else is happening.

All those who wished they had done more, shouldn't have put in the hours they did. I learned guitar, played in multiple teams, got good grades etc etc whilst I had an account - and still managed good levels.

And on top of this, I met some very interesting characters and made some good friends over the years.

So I don't see the problem, of course I don't regret it. It was a side hobby,

and anyway, back in the day I made over £100 selling gold lol biggrin.gif

Why regret something you've done in the past? You should look back and enjoy the good times.

I started RS in 2002, and i've had so many good times from it, both in the game and with the people i've met through it, and that's literally 100's of people. I didn't let it take over my life, had a great time in RL alongside it. Learnt so many skills from being in clans. Its actually going to stick with me for the rest of my life: leadership, diplomacy, decision-making, sorting heated arguments, appreciating the differences deep down between people. Its been an invaluable experience.

During uni term times, i never play RS. I party it up with friends, learn to cook, breakdance for cash, and work towards getting a degree. And when i come back, i look forward to playing RS again when i'm not out with mates or family. Its a perfect filler. If you regret doing something, stop. If you can't stop, you clearly don't regret it.

As someone who quit playing RS you might think that would regret all the time that I put into it, much more than any other video game or hobby of mine; however, even though I didn't really maintain any of my strong online friendships, but I still think that it was worth it. I had a really fun time with WG and the people in it. RS was the only MMORPG I ever played and I think it was fun to be immersed in that kind of experience for a while.

I think there are some real-world things you learn from a game like this. I was the leader of DG for a while and there are some sort of people-management skills you get from working with an internet forum like this with people of all sorts. The game itself teaches you some intense time managements skills (especially when balancing with RL stuff); you want to gain a few levels before a war, you work out some experience gains per hour, what you need to do it, etc. etc. I think I'm good with time management, I stay busy, I get a lot of studying done quickly compared to my friends, I go out, and I have thought about how it may relate back to the kind of time management I learned from playing RS.
