Real life Fact; 20 years old, young and full of energy (most of the time) and optimism. I like sports, politics, and am a business minded person - am constantly thinking about business ideas.
RS Fact : Have started playing a good 5-6 years ago. I remember on my days fresh off tutorial island, I was wondering where everyone got their fancy armor from - only I was not wearing anything special. I soon learned that I needed to get a ''job'', and then my quest for gold began. I remember an npc telling me I had 3 options; doing quests, making my own items, or killing monsters. The first two proved to have failed me, so I went with killing ''monsters''... chickens!
RL Fact; Emigrated from Romania to Canada when I was young. Canada is nice, though thinking to moving to the U.S. sometime, or at least the English part of Canada.
RS Fact; The chicken business was satisfying at first - I'd get 1gp at most per feather if I was lucky enough to find a buyer. That would make a few dozen gp's per hour or so considering my killing rate and the crowded area... it was good money for me. As I started wandering a bit, i landed on the fishing shop at port sarim, to find out that they were buying feathers for up to 2-3 gp each! I then started to hire people fresh off tutorial island and in other chicken pens, they would sell me feathers 1gp each and I'd give them bonuses too, then reselling the feathers for good profit at the fish shop =D =D. Within a few days of playing runescape, I had accumulated a small fortune (or so I thought) of 300 gp. I was then showing it off in trades and impressed the crowds, I thought that I was one of the richest and most powerfull in runescape with all that money and employees!
RL Fact: Rides a bicycle on the cold canadian winters... Don't worry, I just might be driving a bulletproof Cadillac one day!
RS Fact: Learned quickly that making money for money's sake in runescape was not fun in itself, and rather boring, but that the real fun in runescape lied in being able to compete against others in the wilderness. In fact I quit my first account ''main'' when it was only level 20 something combat and started making pures from there on, in an attempt to be more competitive, get kills in the wilderness and most importantly, to be a self-sufficient pker in the wilderness / make the fun pay for itself and not have to do ''virtual work'' in order to have that fun. To this day I still pursue that goal.
RL Fact: I'm a pretty strong chess player, and I like to compete in tournaments once in a while. My grandma is the one that thought me how to play when I was little, and from there on played for fun mostly, beating most people regardless of age . A few years ago I finished second in a Provincial tournament for people of my age group. Recently I started studying chess more seriously. One day, I hope to be amongst the best in the world.
RS Fact: Have invested a lot of time in the game of Runescape. Have been adicted more than once. Some of those hours, I would like to get back. In the grand scheme of things though, I think runescape was and is a great experience.
RL Fact: I've failed 3/4 of my classes in college. Oh yeah, and the cops also came in at midnight not that long ago!
RS/RL Fact: I started this runescape blog
Well I hope that you've enjoyed this reading this post, I would definetely like to think what you guys think! I don't usually like to share personal info out in the open but who cares what others think, right? If you have a rs blog yourself, then I would like to hear more about you.
