Ratchetrockon posted... I need to reiterate some things. Kinda wrote those while under anxiety and couldn't think properly
my mind was already somewhat on their trail of toxic thought prior to playing runescape. Got my brain poisoned a bit by a few forums when I was a teenager. I just saw the advance version of it in those few servers and I found it revolting after spending some time on them (14 months). Their extreme example led me to start derailing from my old thoughts and It just took another year and another catalyst for it to be completely purged
The final 8 months (the closure) took place a year and a half later tbh. I did not socialize with any of those toxic discords when I played in this period. Just wanted to complete 200m fishing xp (left it off at 62m). This was the main thing calling me back to the game..
About 7 months later I achieved it and after a quick dopamine hit from that I played another month crafting soul runes (foolishly attempting 200m rc which would have taken like 5000 hours with this method . About double the time it took for 200m fishing). Got burnt out and quit. This was around March of 2021 iirc. So 3 years ago
I havent had the urge to seriously play again since then. I just log in every few months now to chat random stuff with f2p players lol. But yeah i don't think ill have another osrs resurgence which imo is a good thing since I seem to be unable to play it moderately.
I still like talking about the game though tbh and there were some good times on it with less toxic players for sure.
lol 200m xp sounds wooooooooooof. unless I'm deliberately trying to make RuneScape money then i'd do a hard stop at the minimum for level 99. 200m xp sounds insane just for one skill then there's the rest of the skills.....wooooooof
