When I was a noob back in 2005, I wandered into the wildy and died to a pker using fire blast. Ever since then, I've made it my mission and duty to surpass those people in skilling and getting better levels than them. RS was actually harder to train skills back then and that incident was one of the catalysts for my road to 99 skills.

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 cr

In 2005, I was borderline going to quit the game, having played for a mere month, because I found the task of mustering 30k together for a Rune Scim an insurmountable one.

Then, one day, I was walking past black wizards near Varrock, and someone gets killed by said wizards and drops a Rune Scim and 100k.

To this day, I am unsure whether I am indebted to that man (or woman) for aiding my continued participation in this game.

I was 118 Slayer before I bought my first Dwarf Multicannon for use in Slayer tasks. Until a few weeks ago, I refused to use one. Black demons, dark beasts, airut... all of these I did "by hand."

That by itself isn't the confession, though. The reasoning is.

When I began playing Runescape prior to the introduction of EoC, the Multicannons were not simply tools used by those with efficiency on the mind, but by those who'd deploy them expressly for the purpose of frustrating and impeding lower-levelled players trying to train. On more than a few occasions, I'd park myself in a corner distant from someone's cannon and focus on one or two spawn spots for black demons, only to have the cannon's owner move it to my location and begin the "omg lol ur levels lol hop n00b gfys kys" litany. It was so commonplace then that I'd begun associating the cannons with... oh, how to phrase it delicately... those who mistake their posteriors for helm slot items.

Since those early days I've come to understand rationally that the cannons are simply tools and the behavior problems of a few people were the real culprit, but that does little for the irrational part of the brain that prefers simplistic associations. Multicannons became an abstraction of everything poisonous I'd encountered in the game early on, and it took some serious convincing on the part of friends I have now to give the thing a try.

Even now, I still kinda regard them with disdain in the back of my mind and struggle with the thought, "ugh, now I'm one of them. "

(Unrelated to confession) This is a pretty cool thread. I'm enjoying the recollections and laughing/commiserating with more than a few. Thanks for making it!
