What made you start playing Runescape?

[airogants]

I'm a new player, started a few months ago. I remember growing up I would play on my friends' accounts sometimes but I never got into it myself because I was more into other kid MMORPGs at the time (Free Realms, W101) and also WoW. I'm a college student and usually take notes on paper in class and have my laptop up with the professor's slides. I used to have stuff like cookie clicker or something just up while in class and decided to actually give RS a try after thinking about it for while. Ended up being a perfect thing to AFK during class and do some questing outside of class and the rest is history

When I was a little kid, I saw other people playing at the Duel Arena on the public computers in the library... Then it had a vice grip on me forever after that.

A buddy of mine played it around 2001 or so, he showed me the game and at first I wasn't interested. I tried it out a couple months later and really enjoyed it, this was way back when in Runescape Classic where you had to click every time you wanted to catch a fish. You tried to catch a fish, you failed to catch a fish, click again, repeat.

When I was 12 and entering middle school, a buddy of mine introduced me to the internet.

At that time, I got my first email address, my first social media, and that also was my first time to log in to Runescape.

 

My playing has been VERY off and on for the past 18-19 years, depending on what I'm up to IRL and I took a solid 4-year break from RS when i went to college, but I always keep coming back.  As a result, there are certain ways in which I'm a super-veteran player (Quest Point Cape, Maxxed skill levels, general knowledge of the game), and other ways in which I'm a newb (anything released within the past couple of years and anything related to fighting bosses!)

My brothers friends used to RP and my brother was the ranger but quit so hid friends decided to recruit me and told me somewhat aggressively to get 99 ranged or I couldn't hangout with them so I did and then they all quit lol
