Excellent storytelling with superb diction! Well done, chap!

I suspect only a true physicist could have woven a better tale, but that remains to be seen! Perhaps in the coming years, when things...*dozes off*

I couldn't help but notice you omitted SoF and microtransactions from your story. You can't accurately talk about the RS Universe without mentioning the most prevalent aspect of it.

There is a quantum-physicist named Brian Whitworth who proposed the idea that our universe is a virtual computer simulation and that we're all 100% AI's.

However, this is a simple hypothetical. Yes, it is possible, but there isn't any evidence that supports it. It's as anti-climactic as a Theist claiming that you cannot disprove a God; needless to say, Whitworth and his idea aren't taken seriously in the Physics community. As far as RuneScape becoming a 'universe,' or anything becoming a universe for that matter, I don't believe it could happen. However, this is a very nice tale you put together ^.^

Yeah, it isn't meant to be taken too seriously, rather, it is designed to help encourage people to think about this sort of thing in general. I attempted to create a sort of story that was in line with the idea of virtual reality being actual reality as it applied to runescape in an entertaining way, and I hope it succeeded in that regard. Thanks for the comment.
