Am I involved while playing RuneScape?

No. RuneScape does not capture my attention when I play it. Which is why I rarely play it. While playing RuneScape, I think about random things like "Hey did I finish that report yet? it's due in two days i'd better get on with it." and "Hmm my monitor is getting dusty. I should clean it."

What makes me keep coming back?

My friends on RuneScape. Theyre stuck with this game and I want to meet them every now and then.

I didn't really get stuck into it again until Dungeoneering came out, and I got stuck into it for about a month. But now that it has gotten boring (And that Stomp's really annoying!) so I rarely play anymore. Another big update, sure I'll get stuck into it for about a month... Continuous Loop

Why do I keep coming back?

The choices I chose were only contributing factors to WHY I actually come back. The main reason I come back is that all you at Jagex make the game playable for all different types of gamers. Allow me to explain:

When you look at console games, they're all set into different genres. You have your Shooters, RPG's, Simulators, etc. Yet they can be divided into fast-paced, medium-paced, and slow-paced, respectively. What you've done with Runescape, with all the skills, quests, and minigames is combine all the different gameplay speeds into one massive game.

This is great for people like me, who change their minds about what they want to do almost every day. If I want to do something fast-paced, I'll play a combat-related minigame like Pest Control (I can't wait for Conquest to be released by the way. Tactical games are legit). If I want to slow it down a bit, I'll train a skill that requires constant attention like Firemaking or Runecrafting. And if I want to train a skill where I can multi-task (i.e. Read a book, write a report, etc.) I'll train a skill that you don't really have to pay attention to (please note that I'm at the computer at all times while I'm training. I know AFK training is against the rules) like Fishing or Woodcutting.

What I'm saying is that Runescape is a cut above any other game that I've played because it doesn't just focus on one certain type of gamer but instead allows players to choose how they want to use their time. So kudos, Jagex. Keep up the great work.

"What do you think keeps you coming back to RuneScape"

The multi-player part of runescape is the main thing that keeps me playing.

A great example of this is dungeoneering, yes the skill can be quite fun when your on your own but when your with a team of people you've been playing runescape with for years it just makes the skill so much more fun (espeically if your using things like teamspeak or ventrilo).

One thing this poll made me think about was how great it would be to have a quest where you have to work together to complete it, perhaps with a really strong boss at the end that you have to team up with friends to kill (you could change its combat level depending on the combat levels of the people facing the boss (like the old random events) so that people of all levels can complete it).

Sorry if that was off-topic i just thought it would make a good quest and i'm too lazy to move to the suggestions forum :p

How much I invest myself into my character really depends on what I'm doing at the time. If its something slow like relaxing with some woodcutting there's no investment. Whereas with something deeper like a quest I'll slow and think about what I'd do.

Also bonus points to whoever puts up the "will you reply to this poll" question. It seems to work quite well.
