gratz!

Skydiving i guess. It'd have a better view, and if any of those go wrong, you die anyways so...might as well go with the best option

There were many.

Lil blaknite and Islamia in Eh were pretty good. Haley from CR also comes to my mind.

When i was in Eos, we started with awards for hybrids, and the first month some guy named Sir Santos got it. He wasn't very known in the RS community but he was a BEAST (i won the next 3 months tho) ? 

gratz!

How do you feel about spending more time with RS people than Rl friends?

Thanks for the fight Wl! was quite clean ?

gratz!

I had similar experiences to others being in a leadership role at a young age, which helps to teach strategic thinking and mentally simulating the outcomes of decisions made.

 

However, something that I didn't see in the thread yet that probably many of us could consider is that Runescape kept me out of trouble as a rowdy teenager.  When I was in middle/early high school before I found Runescape, I was starting to hang out with a bad crowd.  While most of my friends were about 14, we had an older guy in our group with a truck who we thought was just about the coolest guy ever.  That older guy was getting us to do stupid things that could have ended us up in a lot of trouble.  While I wasn't the most rowdy of my friends, I remember being along for the ride when mailboxes were blown up with fire works, my friends were stealing lumber supplies from a building site to build a tree house, and I remember being chased into the woods by police sirens after exploring an abandoned building.  I also remember being knocked out after our group got into a fight with another group of rowdy teenagers (I was lucky, one of our group got his jaw broken and had to drink ensure milk as his food for a few months).  Playing Runescape got me into a different group of friends and I spent less and less time with my old ones.

I've got a good life now.  Never really been in any serious trouble as an adult and I (unfortunately) can't say the same about some of my old friends.  Thanks for making me a nerd, Runescape.

It looks like you found a good group in Rs. There is a lot of toxic people who could have taken you on a bad path as well

I met my husband in 2008 through RS, so yeah, it definitely had a positive impact on my life. Additionally, I've made several lifelong friends. I also agree with Fluke that having responsibilities back then in leader-type roles helped me mature and develop positive social/professional skills irl.

Getting a couple out from Rs is quite a lot! very nice

The most obvious thing is RS taught me to type when I was 10. Typing classes in elementary school have nothing on trying to keep up with spammers in Varrock W1.

 

However, at a bit of a deeper level, I think RS (eventually) taught me how to 'grind'. We talk a lot about grinding out skills, but I don't know if we always appreciate how goal-oriented RS is and how that correlates to our outside lives. For a long time, I was bad at grinding both in RS and IRL; I struggled to train skills and IRL I skated by on a lot of luck/natural talent (such as in school). My freshman year of college (uni), I set 5 goals for myself to accomplish by graduation. This is going to sound a little silly, but one of the 5 goals was to get a 99 in OSRS. I had never gotten a 99 before and it seemed like a hurdle I should overcome. I got 99 mining a year and a half later. Over time, I learned how to grind and it paid off both in school work and eventually in boxing. I think RS definitely played a part in that.

I love the story! you also picked one of the hardest 99s!

ive gained massive amounts of typing speed 

true! the spam towers in pvp help for sure!

Have you ever thought about how playing RS improved your RL in some aspect? I was thinking many of us have played the game for too many years. It is not usual to see people playing the same game for 15, 10 or even 5 years, meeting a lot of people and sharing experiences. 

So in my case, i think playing Rs has helped me a little with many things.

When i was an official in previous clans i started to dedicate my own time to help others in game related things. Finding joy on doing something good for the rest, probably helped me decide to get into some volunteer programs related to education later on. 

I also had my first experience leading, meaning i was responsable for the actions of others and had to deal with the consequences even if their weren't my fault or under my control (like one of the members scamming other, crashing clans or being an idiot on RSC) . Nowadays, i have many project teams in charge at work, and i think the vision i have about me working for them and not the other way around and the way i choose to solve problems has been affected by that Rs experience. 

It has probably also helped me with my english, learning many words and catching some kind of an accent i wouldn't know how to describe but definitely does not sound like argentinian hehe. 

So what about you?
