Simple question, really.

But it wouldn't be a question of mine without an obnoxiously long and poorly written background story on my part, so you understand why I'm asking this question...:

My RuneScape career started when I was in late elementary or middle school. I had never even heard of the game until my dad moved to a small town in mid-Michigan, and a few of the local kids came over and introduced themselves to me, and we quickly became good friends. After going to visit their homes a few times, I noticed a game that one of my friends kept playing often - some funny little online game. I thought it looked rather dull, even as a young kid, but they all encouraged me to give it a shot.

After much persuading, I finally moved on to RuneScape, which was my first "real" online game, not including Red Alert 2 online. It took me a while to get into the game - I found the lack of help and resources to be frustrating, and one my friends blew his top when I forgot my password and therefore lost the steel armour that he had worked so hard to get me. Eventually, I just created a new account, and started to play on that when the weather was poor outside.

There began my long, cold descent into the idiocy that is Jagex's most popular game. Back in those days, my dad only had dial-up, and my mom (Who I lived with on the weeks) didn't have Internet at all. So I only played RuneScape on the weekends... It started out that I'd play RuneScape in the morning, level up a few skills, and talk to some friends. Soon it developed into an almost obsessive hobby, going to the point where my dad almost had to cut the Internet cord every morning or night to get me off the computer.

But it was mostly harmless, since I still played AirSoft with friends, played Army, and all the other things that younger kids like to do. My harmless love affair with RuneScape turned much more serious in my 7th grade year of school when my mom and step-dad decided to get cable Internet - meaning that I'd have Internet access all day, every day. So I started playing, more and more, almost every day. By my 8th grade year in school, I was playing and posting on the Forums from the time that I got home from school until I went to bed. My grades, which used to be perfect, slipped from all As to a mixture of As, Bs, and Cs, to a few As and a few Ds and Fs. Soon I started using the Forums more than the actual game, though I managed to get 99 in a skill, something I am very ashamed of these days. Things started to calm down once I got an Xbox 360 and Call of Duty 4, which distracted me quite well from RuneScape... I guess it was just that I had found a game that was actually pretty good, and took a decent amount of skill.

I pretty much completely ceased playing RuneScape my freshman year in high school, choosing to play Xbox 360 games instead. The summer after, I got myself into a wee bit of trouble with the police, and ended up in a "detention center" for a few weeks, rather luckily for me - if I had been an adult, I would have been in prison for the rest of my life. My parents, being responsible folk, locked away my keyboard and controller, but I can't say that I cared much... After being on house arrest for almost half a year, I was happy to get away from all that, and just start enjoying school and being with my friends. While I was on house arrest, I started playing RuneScape again, and got my cooking level from 70 to 96 or so, and quite a few other skills up higher. I saved up and bought another Xbox 360 for Christmas, and my RuneScape habit was stopped in tracks once again before it could gain any more speed.

Now I view myself as a fairly normal person, besides from the fact that most of my days are spent doing community service (I want to be finished by the end of this month). I still play lots of World at War and whatnot, but that comes second to just about everything else. Sometimes I miss messing around on the RuneScape Forums (I had probably 30,000 posts, but I got permanently banned from them by being a jackass while I was on house arrest), and I jump on the game once every few days, but I can never occupy and enjoy myself on it like I used to.

I think I realized how much of a waste of time the game was when I was in late middle school or my freshman year in high school... Pretty much all I was doing was chatting to random people for hours on end while watching a poorly animated and pixelated figure bend over fishing spots and making bows for hours on end.

There just doesn't seem to be any skill involved in the game whatsoever - at least, not any more. Instead of the best being on top of the scoreboards, it's just a competition of who pours the most time into the game, and who can cheat the longest without getting caught. Even player-killing isn't much of a challenge or fun any more - you point, click, and watch your character hack away at the other guy while you stare at your health and munch on a few sharks, and hop
