    I actually still play runescape because of you. I joined your clan, and it made osrs fun again. Being involved in the videos makes it so much fun. I've been playing runescape as a single player for too long, I almost forgot it's an MMO. You and grass punks makes it fun again (:

    Im like 7 seconds it but my answer to the title question is pretty simple for me: Progress milestones.
    It just feels really good seeing that almost everything you do in game contributes to some sort of progress, wheter is stats, achievements, farming certain activities for drops, clue scrolls etc. It can be a ballbusting grindhouse ass point and click game most of yhe time, but damn if progress doesn't make you feel good.

    I started playing at the end of last year after finding your videos, I'd always been interested in the game but everyone had shown it as a big life consuming grind, which had put me off. I might not be the most efficient player, but I'm having fun thanks to you and the community you've formed, I hope you have an amazing day.

    I still play runescape because it's familiar. It's comforting, to me, to sit down and play the exact same account, with the exact same details, with the exact same history, as the account I first created back in 2004. It's warm, even if it's different (because I play RS3), because I got to *watch* the game progress. I was there, through each milestone. It's a part of me, genuinely, as are all the friends on my friends list who haven't logged in in a decade. I remember each of them, and I remember the fondness of fighting the king scorpion to help people mine ore in falador mine without getting killed.

    I don't play anymore but..... Relapse is always a possibility. The social aspect was always great when I jumped between clans. Point and click is a pretty relaxed style of play. I did get a lot of high levels on a few accounts so completing goals was always pretty addictive. Made a few snowflake accounts. Also, this is one of those games where I can multi-task. I can play this and watch tv or listen to a podcast and i know I won't be missing much if I tune out of one or the other.

    I made friends on Runescape... many years ago. They're no longer my friends, and every time I play these days I never make new friends. I just play by myself talking to no one. My anxiety and depression have gotten worse over the years. And yes, I do hate my life. I like making friends, I just don't make them. I'm in my early 30's and I have too much anxiety to talk to people.

    I like playing Runescape because it's a game where there's clearly defined long term accomplishments like quests, 99s, collection log etc, but there's no one way to get there. You set the rules to how you want to progress, and I think the surge of content restricted accounts shows how far those rules can take you.

  • @thebobbyfishkins

    Runescape has been such a large part of my life and has gotten me through tough times that it's hard to get off. This game is a place for me to get away from real life and enjoy the grind with the friends I have made along the way. Runescape will always have a special place in my heart.

  • @muteerbeer1662
    @muteerbeer1662 2 роки тому +4

    not many things in life have a clear sense of progression, it's difficult to find out what truly matters. you can set goals, build towards your dreams, build relationships. but how can you measure if that is progress? more money? more happines? more free time? no, definitely not applicable. runescape however figured it out. after specific amounts of numbers you get fireworks and a woodcutting level, which stays forever. i've never even cut wood in real life, let alone gotten fireworks for it

    When I was working 16 hrs a day the only repreive I'd have was playing a 1 hour runescape music playlist on the hour commute to work in some hq headphones.
    I would imagine myself as a runescape character as I grinded through the hours.
    I would imagine myself playing the game at times. It helped get me through those times. Haven't played in a while but it will always be a comfort zone I can go back to.

    Why do I still play RuneScape? Because who doesn't enjoy six months of daily grinding the same skills for hours at a time. Literally working your butt off to make 100,000 cooked curry for weeks on end just to earn some gold. Then when you finally buy that fancy justicar set and some high tier equipment, you get skull tricked an hour later and loose it all. That's why I play RuneScape. Because those pr*ckless scammers and bot farmers depend on me. They need me to play my absolute hardest just so they can piss on my day and take the stuff I worked hard for. Or, if the scammers are feeling motivated they might just hack my account and turn it into a bot to further ruin the game for me.
