I am never going to play Runescape ever again.

For those of you that follow me I jumped right in the deep end and picked up my old Runescape account and bought a months membership. I played a lot of Runescape when I was back in school and kept playing for a few years, but eventully stopped and never touched it untill this past weekend. I had only ever been Free to play as well so not only was I going back to it but I was buying a months worth of membership. This was on about Saterday/Friday and I have already decided that I am never going to play Runescape or any other MMO ever again, so does that mean I had a bad time with Runescape, fuck no it was really good, let me spin you a tale of why MMO's are no longer for me.   

I started off by deleting everybody off my friends list, there was a few people online but they had no idea who I was, and I to had no idea who they were. I then decided I would walk around and see how much has changed, I felt like an old man asking for vinal records on iTunes, everything had simply moved on. There was so many different things even in free to play, the towns had all had a graphical upgrade, new buildings were in place and there was all these new gameplay mechanics that I just overwhelmed me. I then ventured into the world of membership and did a great deal of exploring and walking around membership land, I walked all over and really got lost. After that I started doing some quests for people, soon discovering that Runescape is a funny game, the humor in Runescape is done very well and made me chuckle to myself.   

This went on up untill today, I decided to average how long I had played Runescape for, and it adds up to about 30-40 hours.  
I looked at the calculator in disbeleif and I assumed it was broken, but after the same answer multiple times I agreed it was fact. But how could that have been, I had done about 5 quests and just walked around a bunch, I had hardly made any acomplishments and really done nothing at all, this is why I am going to stop playing Runescape. This situation would have been fine back in school because school takes up less time than work plus all the holiday breaks including the 6 week summer holiday. But now at work I only get weekends plus 21 days holiday, and on week days my leasuire time adds up to about 3 hours each day. Which ok is quite a lot but I don't really want to play Runescape in that time, and boy does that game make time fly. I've just come off of a 5 hour session which I thought was only a 2 hour session, Runescape is very clever by not having a clock on screen when you play the game.  
 
In the time I have spent playing Runescape I could have finished Shadows of the Damned, Alice: Madness Returns and Duke Nukem Forever, but instead I have been walking around a virtual world saving my money up to buy a virtual sword which does slighlty more damage than my current sword. It even once occured to me that I could go and use real money to get in game money, that was the moment that snapped me out of it and I wondered what the fuck I was doing. So I am quitting Runescape, I hope to never return, I will also not even attempt to play World of Warcraft when my Mac comes because thats like Runescape only a good game. 
I'm going to have a shower now...
