An extremely addictictive game that actually will harm you.

I was introduced to runescape fall 2008, and from then on I was hooked. I played for hours and hours daily for 11 months until I noticed somthing was wrong. After a bit of investigating, I found that my iq had dropped by 20 points(I have been putting myself threw a sort of iq therapy that I literally pray will work), My grades, previously straight A's, had dropped to c's and b's, My behavior became uncontrolled and I developed bipolar disorder(no joke I have been diagnosed), my previously abundant ability to read, write and create has dropped(once again I am trying to put myself through a sort of therapy to solve this), and finally, I became a social butt.

This is NO JOKE. This game is dangerous to people minds and bodies. If you decide to play this game(which I advise not to), BE CAREFUL!

The biggest black hole on Earth. Once you're sucked in, you'll never get out.

An online game that is highly addictive, i started around the end of 2004 start of 2005 and played on and off till mid 2009 (mainly on), whilst playing the game you feel you are benefiting, but honestly and i feel it now i deeply regret playing it, i having nothing to show for how long i played, and it kills me to even imagine how long i wasted on it, yes i can reminisce about it but at the end of the day you really dont benefit from it, if you can manage your time well and are self disciplined i do recommend it..but this game will take over large chunks of your life.
it kind of hit home how it kind of made me fall behind when we had family friends over once, they were saying how their sons and daughters (who were my age), were going on to great things and that they are high achievers, at that moment i realised deep down with a horrible gut feeling runescape was the reason i had gone downhill and hadnt lived life to the full, at that time i was 16-17 when this hit home, i am now 18 hoping to go to uni, with a long way to go yet to catch these people up i can say i am on route and that it is never too late to stop playing, i feel with me and other people it takes its natural course to boar you to stop playing it, but lastly it also makes you totally lose touch with reality and i found my self thinking about it at school alot

The reason why I used to have NO friends whatsoever...

An MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) created by Jagex Ltd, a game developing team who doesn't give a shit about their players, pursues their own greedy wants, and believes their players are all incapable of thinking. This game has become overrun by annoying brats and little kids. There are two versions: P2P (Pay to play) and F2P (Free to play). With P2P you get more of everything. This used to be a great game back before 2007, but since then it has gone downhill due to the ridiculous changes made by Mod MMG, the chief developer. I advise you to not play this game. You may get addicted, and in the end you'll find yourself hating Jagex and/or Runescape and being bored of the game because they changed or completely got rid of something you loved, and you'll have wasted all that time.

An awesome MMORPG (Massive Multi Player Online Game) that is very addicting. I'm not going to tell you not to play it, it is very fun. Just remember, it CAN ruin your life. My girlfriend and I almost broke up because of it. I would spend weekends at my friend's house just playing at ALL THE TIME. We would not eat or sleep, just play. The best part about it was the Wilderness, a place where you could pk (player kill) other players. It was really fun, and now they have pk worlds.

It's not hard to quit, it's just hard to realize that you SHOULD quit. After playing for about 4-5 years, I quit for about 2 years. I recently started to play again, and it is still pretty fun. Just learn how to manage your time.

Runescape

A game made by Jagex Ltd. Which is an MMORPG (Massive, Multi, online roll playing game) Basically all you do is earn stats, money, and items. Theres a free and p2p version. The p2p version is over 3x as big, 2x more quest, alot more monsters, and more skills. It is updated usually every Monday.

Runescape is a game that just sucks up your soul and spits it out as a nerd version of yourself with no life. Too many imature 12 year olds playing, also geeks, people with no lives...and if you click the "down" button, that just proves my point. For all the people that think Runescape is an old laggy java game with too many imature middle schoolers, and click the "up" button, I pronounce you as 1338...

Runescape is a big online game...
I played for a year but I got addicted so I stopped playing it.
The game is made by Jagex and is very popular, but remember that if you play it´s very easy to get addicted so watch out.
Don´t play more than an hour or two each day or you will become an addict.
