I'm only replying because of the "will you reply" question. It's a great idea, and I feel bad not replying because of it.

How involved do I feel: it really depends on how much I'm using external sources to help me. For example, if I'm woodcutting with the sound on and watching a video in the corner of the screen, I don't feel very involved in Runescape at all. If, however, I'm in the middle of an exciting quest, and I'm not using a guide, I'll feel like I'm really there. Especially in the quests where dialogue matches my sort of personality.

What keeps me comming back? I'm addicted. To around 2/3rds of the options given. Not a great question IMO, but it's difficult to write that sort of thing I'm sure.

How long have I been playing: I don't know! I know I have a chocatrice cape, and that was 2008 or something, and I know I missed out on getting an ice amulet at the time that was available (I was a newb and had no clue that there was mroe to the snow than just having fun with it ;_;[can you add a cry face?] ), and I know that I started my account a while before that, but I don't know how many months. At a guess I said 3-4 years: but I really have no clue!

Still, the polls are good and I hope feedback is helpful to you.

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

I love the fact of being able to meet people as it is massively multiplayer. I also like having a goal in runescape so it gives a sense of achvement if/when i complete that goal.

Y'all'r devious... One might say you have... Devious Minds :P

And I see you took my idea to heart putting the QFC in the poll... (whether it was because of me or not need not matter). It made the voyage here much more smooth. As for polls, I still say keep up the good work. :)

The poll team is... Making History :P

This is on topic, but yet off topic at the same time? O_o Since you had said this was for discussion about the polls, I would like to say that I enjoyed the little touch you added with the 'smileys': ¯\(o_O)/¯ @_@ and the others, it really brought a personal side to the polls - and made them fun! :)

Good poll. It brings up a lot of issues that I've been griping about for a while now.

The original thing that made RS appealing to me, back in 2001, was that it had some intriguing lore/background, and allowed for the development of a character that fit into that world as something more than full-time dungeon crawler.

As I've said many times before, Mrag was actually born in the late 1980s, as a half-orc Fighter/Thief (that's 1st ed AD&D...I don't do post-Gygax). I chose to use Mrag for RS for 2 reasons: he never really got a fair shake as a character (levels 2/3), and he was, in many ways, the most similar to my own personality.

I wouldn't say that I lose myself in the world, or in my character; but, I would say that the biggest reason I took an interest in such a game is that it seemed to afford an opportunity to posit a fairly complete world, mixing the mundane with the heroic in nice proportions.

I did respond that I enjoyed training my character's skills, but that response is tempered by the fact that I never did much long-term "grinding." I really do enjoy the process because I do things in short spurts, not long stretches. To me, that mirrors what a typical Gielinorean would actually do, as opposed to what an external gamer would do to advance a game avatar.

I don't how much of it was a change in design philosophy, and how much of it has been a change in the expectations of gamers; however, the reason I've barely been in-game since last year is that it no longer feels like cohesive fantasy world. I suppose my issues with the game go back to 2006; but, overall, it now seems like the game is more geared to providing the external gamer with group-oriented combat that approximates the "raid" that is popular in similar games. Personally, I've never been too interested in video games; and, as RS lost its world depth, I lost interest.

Our motivation is somewhat clearer now, care to enlighten us to yours Jagex? :P

Even though we know it'll run along the lines of providing a great gaming experience for us. ^_^

Hopefully this'll cater somewhat to what we want to see (more of) in the future. Quests, activities, further community interaction etc.
