Nanne30 344 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Many people come and go during their times in RS, we rarely see people that never quit or take a break. What has ever driven you to quit or take a break? What has been the biggest disappointment you ever took in rs Clan world? What brought you back to RS? Last time i quit i was in FSK, trying to get elite void i got burned out. The removal of wildy was a deal breaker for me, huge disappointment and when my 1st clan closed, ruby devils. Clanning brought me back Edited February 7, 2022 by Nanne30 Quote Link to comment https://tempest-rs.net/topic/6772-why-did-you-ever-quit/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

€NewAccount 294 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Personally, I stopped playing RS at one point because I got hacked, but I manage to get it back after a long break. One could not truly quit this game, they just take very long breaks. Then again, all my friends still question why I'm still playing this game..

@Brian 2,987 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Burnout mostly, never really played the game properly so changes to it didn't bother me as such.

Vanzant 1,426 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) In rs classic I quit because I was leaving home at 15 etc so has a lot of shit going on back in 2003. Then in 2012 with Bk closing I was expecting to fully quit permanently. Had people bugging me for a good year + to come back so I finally checked out osrs. Only two times in 20+ years I've taken time away lol Edited February 7, 2022 by Vanzant Quote Not sure if you heard. I was leader of The BlacKnights.

Boxerpup 76 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Finally just decided it was time to move on with my life and open a brand new chapter. Put in almost 20 years into runescape and with changes going on with my perrsonal, was time to put in the towel. Plus with f2p pvp almsot being nonexistent and reaching my longtime goal of 2k total, was just the right time to put playing mmos/fps/rpgs to rest. Still play a little bit of league and apex,but no longer have the time to drop in 10+ hours a day Quote Link to comment https://tempest-rs.net/topic/6772-why-did-you-ever-quit/#findComment-204485 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was later hacked 2018? - Recovered and was on/off for a long time until Tempest came around Quote PDlMitch ~ Ex: Knights of Order ~ Collision ~ Syndicate ~ Exodus ~ Crimson Raiders ~ Downfall ~ Divine Forces Link to comment https://tempest-rs.net/topic/6772-why-did-you-ever-quit/#findComment-204494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 632 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Don't really think I ever quit during RS2. I had moments when I wasn't very active but I never really stopped playing. Account bans for a couple of times on osrs. One ban was accurate, the other was fucked up. Granted, at the start of osrs I lost interest as well. The hype had died down, I wasn't entirely sure if the scene, much less the game was going to survive. I didn't really quit after my ban in late 2016 as much as I simply invested time into making a different type of account and letting myself experience a different scene for a while. The midsized scene and the main scene as a whole had become extremely slow by that time anyways. Then there was the time I quit after Impact. Steve convinced me to make a return during that time. Adam would message me occasionally after that telling me to join Seals/Renegades but things didn't really look that interesting to me. Action during this time were extremely hit and run where a fight could last 10 minutes or less apparently? I didn't really want to dedicate myself to something like that.

John 290 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Quit due to RL reasons in 2012 after pretty much 7.5 years of straight gaming. For some reason I came back in 2016 to RS3 and then back to OSRS, been playing off and on ever since after a small break when I got hacked for 2b in summer of 19 (lol). interesting a lot of people come back due to clanning or having extra time and there really isnt a ton of games out there you can play endlessly to occupy said time.

Pietru 1,265 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 The only time I ever quit for an extended period was back in 2012, iirc it was because I wanted to play league more than RS at the time Quote Tempest Old School ~ Dear You ~ Link to comment https://tempest-rs.net/topic/6772-why-did-you-ever-quit/#findComment-204522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
