How often do you play runescape? do you consider yourself addicted? I used to play sometimes 5 hours a day on weekends and i played whenever i could. But recently, i have been trying to play a lot less, and succeeding. If you are addicted, have you tried to stop playing?

I used to play whenever i had a spare skinny minute. I considered myself super addicted. I finally realized that my life was just becoming one big game of runescape. When I was not playing runescape i was thinking about it and wishing it was the next day so i could play some more. I wanted to stop but i couldn't. SO instead of immediately stopping altogether, i slowly weaned myself off of it. I started playing 30 minutes less, then another, and i gradually stopped playing. So last night I got on and the ball was back in motion. I am aware that i need to control how i play now, though.

I had been playing runescape like that a year or two ago, when what is now called "the good old days". I got pretty far, about level 62, when I stopped. I noticed that training became like no-lifing. I started again later, as a test to see how well I could set goals and got to about 3 months ago at 79. I've stopped because training one level can take hours and hours so now I only go on when new updates are out or for holidays. Im now onto another game but I might need to control myself on that one

I'm not very addicted...I mean...I don't play that much a day. Maybe 1-2 Hours a day and that's not much. You know why? Here's the answer: i'm not member. BUT... i want too but my parents says NO.

sadly enough i will say NO also, mainly because to be honest, with only one month of memebership, it really isn't worth it.

i always play runescape when i have the time. even though it is addicting and i am partically addicted to it i will not go on if theere is homework or schoolwork to be done. i try my best to control that urge to play but sometimes my will is not strong enough and i play. for example, every saturday morining i wake up early just to get on runescape without my parents knowing. i hope to break that habit and maybe i will make it my new years resolution. anywayz happy mylotting and runescaping...peace out -gbeast95

I play it occasionally like when the main games that I play are having a maintenance. Its a great game but it is kinda PVE centered and im into PVP type games like CS:S, Warrock and other mmorpg

I would have to say im addicted to the game. I dont think it's a bad thing though. I play around maybe 8 hours a day( lol) but too bad my laptop is currently out of service:(. but oh well, life must go on, I mean I dont have like a "steady" girlfriend so its not like im wasting my life away, i go to college, so my life is not very varied, if some friend want to hang im for it. i have tried to stop playing, but it can be kind of hard because you set goals and jsut dont want to let go.

Sometimes I don't play for days, others I play four 3-4 hours at a time. I don't think I'm addicted, at least I'm not admitting it yet. hha. It's so hard to quit playing because there's always something to improve or something new on the game.
