My answer to this is pretty much the exact same as Daniel's, except whilst I was always confident enough in conversation and such, I went through a period where I felt I had lost touch with my friends. I joined 42 when I had just graduated high school, so I guess there is something to say in that, I wasn't quite ready to grow up. I'd always had a creative streak; a day dreamer with nowhere to put it. Then I came here..
It was wonderful.
Time passed, I've gotten comfortable in life. I've accepted that I need to grow up and at this point I WANT to act like the adult I am. (funny story, actually. I held it back so long I've limited how much I can achieve now.. So it'll take me a while to get to where I could be). Now, I hang around this community because of the people more so than the need to. My passion and love for storytelling and RuneScape has never changed. Before I clung to it. Now, it is a hobby amongst others that I revel and enjoy with the few close friends I've met on here. Friends, that my relationship with has expanded outside RuneScape showing that it isn't just interests in RP, but genuine. I guess, despite loving the story, one of my fears of leaving RS one day is that I'd lose contact with these friends.

I rp cause I'm a nerd. A nerd with an addiction. I was going to quit rs on the night I discovered rp. It's a whole other world now, and whole new game.To meet the people here, and work together to create great stories and walk in the shoes of such extravagant characters. It'll never get old.

It allows me to gain a sense of being social with people I share an interest with. In the town I live in, I do not have any friends at the moment. Aside from that, I grew up with the content provided by Jagex. Getting to make my own stories in it helps me feel like I am a part of something that has been with me since I was roughly 12 years old. (10 Year Cape coming up!) Communities require responsible leaders if they are to thrive. What part do you play?

I started RPing a looong long time ago on other platforms. Was a great form of expression for me and a way to make friends online where I didn't have so many in real life. I came to rs twice, the first time was in 2011, where I was mostly interested in military style roleplay. I think this had to do with my upbringing as a soldier's son. As for what brought me too it, I always felt different in that I've never been quite like the rest of my family/extended family, being the only one not native to the island. Moving around a lot while I was younger, it was hard for me to feel apart of the communities I was living in as well. Straddling two cultures and not being fully part of either one gave me a lot of perspective, however. For a long time while I was young, roleplay gave me an outlet for what developed from these perspectives and also a place to belong to a community. I had been roleplaying as a kid for a long time before I joined rsrp in 2011 and it caught the tail end of my interest as I had blossomed socially in high school. And so, I led a knightly order in Asgarnia for a few months before disappearing.

The second time I came was about a year later in mid 2012. This happened to be my last year of high school, and my first year of college. My real academic interests were sort of 'coming of age' at this time, and by far my greatest interest was in history. I began to learn all I could about human history all across the ages, and began to see how the modern day was actually only the most recent chapter of a much bigger story. I also learned many lessons from the people of history, and how each of them went about their lives. In the story of w42 Gielinor, I found an outlet to try and add my own chapter to the 'history' of rsrp. Over the years i've tried to cultivate an ongoing storyline from 2012 till now, and for all the ups and downs it's been an incredible experience, and I love that it truly can't be said to be mine anymore, but collectively owned by many.
