How people get addicted to Runescape, what happens to them and what someone will do once they become addicted to Runescape to play Runescape...
Some people get addicted to Runescape, then will do anything to level up their runescape accounts. This is how the process goes: You start playing Runescape and its really fun, your a level 3 or 4 and you have pretty bad levels but your having fun, which is what the game is about.
But then comes the greed. You see players with shiny amour and lots of runescape gold, with levels way higher than you. And you suddenly want to get all that cool stuff! So you go and spend hours on end each day mining to or woodcutting to get that sort of money.
After days and days you earn your first 10k, and your so happy! You go to the grand exchange and buy expensive amour only to find you can't wear it at level 3. So you go to the cow paddock and start the long haul of training to get your combat level up.
After a while it gets boring, but you have found out all the cool stuff members can do, so you go and beg your parents to get membership, they may disagree but you keep trying and trying until you get it somehow.
The Second Stage - Membership
Membership is so great! You can pickpocket, you have double the map, you can go into members worlds, you can have 200 people on your friends list, its all fun again. For about three to five months, then your back to slaving away mining or woodcutting, trying to make two pennies to rub together to buy all the cool members stuff.
Thats how Jagex reel you in, the sole purpose of the free world is so you get a bite of it, then you find out what members is like, so you buy it. Then your hooked! A good way to not get addicted is this: if your not having fun playing, then stop playing.
