Hi, i'm Adam. I'm a Runescapaholic.
"I'll quit this year...I will!" I whisper to myself, as I speedily type in my account details, click "Play" and immerse myself in the addictive atmosphere that is Runescape.
-10 hours pass-
Well, I suppose it's time to sleep. Good thing I was productive today. As my head hits the pillow, I shed a single tear. I then proceed to dream about Runescape.
The next morning I wake up early - it is, after all, double XP weekend. It also happens to be the day of my Calculus final exam, but I had forgotten about it. I can always bring my grade up after a 0 on an exam, but I don't always have the chance to gain double experience, after all!
I cry.
As I sit trying to study for Strength of Materials, i'm reminded that a new quest had just come out. I jump into the game, complete the quest, regain my completionist cape, cry, and then go to sleep.
Invention is released. Now as I sit training this haunting skill, I cry. It makes my wallet and my brain sad. After finally hitting a decent level milestone, I go back into reality. I cry some more. My friend comes into the room.
"I think you need some help..." He puts his arm on my shoulder. I contemplate what life would be without Runescape, a life where I can live free and be myself without being sucked into an endless black hole of sub-reality. I see a therapist, I get help. I feel better. But one night it hits me - the withdrawal. I begin to sweat, and hallucinate. Quiet voices of Commander Zilyana and her minions call me from her dungeon. Faint images of Mod Mark's face surround me, laughing. "This month's updates!..."
After this horrible night, things get better. I become closer with my friends. I re-acquaint with my family. I am happy. I get a steady job and provide for my family, we all love and care for each other. I sit down at my desk to design a few things in NX. After spending hours, I realize I didn't create my design at all. I create... the Runescape Logo.
