It all began 3-4 months ago, when I was pking with my pure in a pvp world, near the grand exchange. I was f2p, you know; money comes in hardly and goes away quickly when pking, (and especially with that new drop potential rule where you get nerfed drops if you're not willing to wait 30 minutes between kills). So there was I, in grand exchange with my range to rune2h setup, trying to find my next opponent to fight, when I suddenly pass next a guy of my level. He was trying to find an opponent aswell, and with one million gp on him, he claimed he was quitting runescape after he'd die with that money on! ;I traded him and he was right, he had 1.1milion in cash! Back then, when money was worth more in rs, I / f2players could hope to gain that kind of money in a good 20-25 hours to the least. You can imagine how excited I was! He told me to put a team cape on or no fight, which I did in a rush before anyone else would get him to fight.
When we were ready, he showed me the money one last time before stepping out of the safe zone, and off we went at each other, range pure against range pure (level 57 I think, he 56). I had a few chances to take him out, though after we both ran out of food, went to bank and back to it again for another round. But this time, it was a good streak, I did not even have the time to eat a lobster of my own that he finds himself in trouble - switched to my 2h and finished him off with an 18 (today it would have been a 180 hit). I remember it like it was yesterday; he dropped dead on the ground and there stood all the money, the beautiful money! 1.1 million cash + some items in f2p, my biggest drop to this date. He then came back from Lumbridge to see if I've gotten the money and after I've reassured him, told me one last goodbye before he quit. And I've never seen him again.
2 Months Later... I was struggling with real life, being strangled by runescape as I told you earlier. Giving away my account to someone and tell them to change the password could have been an option aswell. But I decided to pay tribute to that one guy instead, who made my day back then. So I emptied my bank, sold everything on the grand exchange and took out 700k cash on me -all I had-, went to pk with it. After a while, I died with it, making someone incredibly happy and passed on the love that I have had gotten one day too. If you too intend to quit one day, I suggest you empty your bank, go in pvp and pass on the tradition, you will make someone happy who will in turn, probably be entitled to do the same when he quits. And the best part is that it will really want to make you quit and not return for a while.
5 Benefits of Quitting Runescape:
- More time on your hands
- You wake up to reality, you can explore the real world - and better graphics!
- You can get a part time job if you go to school, and with the money earned, buy 10 times more gold or better account than you otherwise would have made sitting at home.
- You can get a girlfriend this time, and not a
gf...(I know you know the difference!) - Do something real this time, make a plan for the next day, month year and more. Live life to the fullest & do something that your kids or relatives would be feel proud of you one day.
