    Default True Life: Jagex Wasted My Life

    WARNING:VERY LONG STORY

    Living in small town Nebraska as a 12 year old boy has it's benefits, but I missed living in the big city. Leaving my friends behind was difficult, but I was a good-looking, athletic, young teenage boy, and I was bound to make new friends. This is where my Runescape career began, if you can call it that.

    I always had an interest in computers. Before I started school, I would spend my days playing around on my dads old IBM "greenscreen" computer. (Mostly playing games like Adams Family).

    As I got older, Computers also became more advanced. In early elementary school, I remember we had a compaq computer running windows 3.x and my dad set up my first AOL account. I spent many hours sitting on that computer playing games on aol, talking in kids-only chat rooms; I was hooked.

    Ok, so I'm 13 and i've gone through a full school year at my new school in a rural area. I made many friends and had a couple of girlfriends throughout the year(Who else misses when relationships were so simple).

    Summer starts, and being only 13, i'm trying to find something fun to do to occupy my time. My nintendo 64 was getting boring and I turned to finding internet games. One day I'm keeping in touch with one of my friends from the city and he tells me about this fun game he found on the internet. "Runescape" he said, "It's fun, you should set up an account".

    So I did. It asked me what type of class I wanted to be and I decided that Warrior best fit my type of character. I was standing in lumbridge with my level 5 account, a bronze sheild, and a bronze longsword. My friend, who had been playing for quite sometime, met up with me and managed to give me a bunch of items that I could no longer use. For the next couple weeks I did nothing but kill men in varrock all day and managed to get up to a decent level pretty fast.

    Let's fast-forward a year or so. I have a hard decision to make. Play runescape during the day, or go hangout with my friends playing backyard football.(ok, it seemed like a hard decision) This is where I first started autoing in runescape.

    I had looked for cheats in runescape before, but most of them were lame tips that everyone knew, or scams. Even at 13 or 14, I was pretty good at recognizing a scam and I know a little about viruses and keyloggers. I found a autominer that I discovered to be free of both...Nick's AutoMiner.

    This was before fatigue, and autoing was relatively small in runescape at this point. The program was quite simple. You filled in what kind of rock you were mining, how many rocks were in the area, and how long you wanted it to run.

    This made my decision easy. I would have Nick's AutoMiner do the boring work for me while I went out and hung out with my friends for the day. I would usually come home, and the program would no longer be working, but I didn't care...I assumed it worked for a few hours before it quit.

    Around this time, cheating must have blown up, because Jagex decided to implement a fatigue system. At this time, I didn't care. I had a low level account with 65ish mining. I was ready to mine in the mining guild all day to have fun making money. From then on out, I was a legit runescape player.

    I had quite a bit of money and many low level skills to raise, and I was no longer interested in cheating. The big dupe came and went, affected me mildly, runescape 2 beta came and went, I was still having fun playing runescape...most likely too much.

    I still hung out with my friends quite a bit, but I was spending more time on the computer then spending time with them. I knew I was playing runescape much more than I should have been, but I didn't care. The virtual world was hell of an experience.

    Around 2002/2003, I was getting into the whole drinking scene(I was in 8th grade...that's all there is to do in rural Nebraska). I was a manager for the football team which went to state that year, I was active in many sports, and in my spare-time I was leveling my runescape account. I was having fun.

    I got into highschool and I had a pretty good account. I was drinking with my friends on the weekends, and I was playing runescape after sports after-school, I was attending varsity sporting events that I wasn't involved in(girls volleyball, basketball..etc) I even had a girlfriend. Things were going good.

    I decided that I probably couldn't juggle everything at once, and Runescape had to be cut out of my life...at least for a while. So I did. I was spending time with my friends and girlfriend. Having a couple beers on the weekends, still doing sports, you know...living the dream.

    One day, it all turned around on me. I decide it time to start up runescape again. There is so much new stuff, and I was having quite a bit of fun learning all the new things that have been added. One weekend night, I ditched all of my friends and my girlfriend to stay home and pull a runescape all-nighter. That same night, my girlfriend and my best friend got drunk at a party and ended up hooking up. At the time I was crushed. I didn't give my girlfriend a second chance and I pretty much quit talking to my best friend. I instead played runescape more then I should have.

    I still had many friends, but as highschool went on, I found myself skipping going to girls volleyball games, and boys basketball games to instead sit at home and play runescape. Around my junior year, I still partied on the weekends, but I hadn't had a girlfriend since the one.

    I've made this story longer than it needs to be, so here i'm going to sum up the rest of the story:

    I'm now 19 years old with a year of college under my belt. I quit runescape a couple months before I graduated from highschool. While I was in college, I decided to try and sell all my runescape gold. Instead of being smart, and waiting for R2Pleasant to buy, I instead sold it all to a bunch of scammers on the sythe community and lost around 70m rs cash in return for $0.00 USD. I didn't care, I was done with the game. I was in college: getting drunk, getting laid(occasionally), having fun.

    To this day, I still haven't had another girlfriend. I've had a lot of random hookups, and got my fair-share of action, but I feel i've missed out on alot of the finer parts of high school because of runescape. I know that I have learned a lot, and it's probably what keeps me interested in computers rather than business.

    I'm currently working 8 hour days, and I feel I would like to try and get back at Jagex. I remembered that I used to be able to play runescape and still have a good life..and that was when I was cheating. So i'm back to autoing. My first RS account isn't banned, and I hope to gain some cash and levels on it during the day while I work. Maybe spend some time on it when I'm not doing anything else...but I know i'll never again put runescape first.

    I'm currently trying to learn how to script in SCAR and SRL. I have some programming experience, I just need to learn the syntax.

    What did you just read:

    You read a very long, picture lacking story of my runescape career, which also had a little information about my life.

    Did you enjoy reading it?
    Was it totally pointless?
    Did I post in the right spot?

    Leave me some feedback. I hope you all enjoyed. I enjoyed typing it and I can't wait to read your posts.

    Wow i am glad nothing like this has happened to me, dude that sucks... But i have never had as much fun on rs as i have with autoing, so good luck on your travels, and if you need it, just ask for a temp ban from the forums =D also you cannot blame all this on jagex, your life it your responsibility, not theirs...

    I don't blame Jagex, and don't get me completely wrong. I have had a great life(still having a good one). I don't want to be banned from these forums...I actually want to learn to script because I feel it will help me later on in life with my Major.

    Also, I think I may have posted this in the wrong forums...if thats true, if a Mod would move it...that would be great.

    Its pretty cool , because It was actually happening to me too, but I cutted it off before getting to university , I knew I wouldnt be able to play because of the study , and all the stuff, so I started trying to auto.

    Then I found SRL and it changed my life made it better because now I just leave the players doing the boring job while I study or do anything, instead of wasting my time clicking on a screen around 200k times to get a lvl to 99

    .....now Scar and its scripts do all the hard work, so I can say I found SRL right when I needed it so now Im happy and I'm getting back most of what I lost while playing runescape.

    I also will get many of my friends involved on autoing now that im on vacations and that I can teach them the little stuff I know about SRL and Scar, still it will be enough so they can auto and quit wasting their life, I feel sad for one of my best friends little brother, he spends loads of time there at runescape , training , today I passed by his house and he was there, training at bandits...well....I will try to get him to auto so he can get a better social life other than being on a computer most of the time.

    Long Story. Veerryy Long Story. Just for my Runescape life:

    9 Years Old: Started playing RuneScape. Had no idea what keyloggers were but i knew what a virus was so i was very cautious. Started playing Runescape on one account and managed to get it to level 43, which i thought was pretty good.

    10 Years Old: Found some cheats of LimeWire, a program my friends elder sister showed me. So, i searched Runescape and this supertool appeared, so i downloaded it and ran it. Upon opening it, it had what level you want to be, free membership etc. I was very happy. So i entered my account name and password. 2 weeks later, found out my account got hacked and i finally found out what a keylogger was. Later on in that year, i found a uber RuneScape Cheating website (http://rstools.prv.pl) where i got a heap of cheats, such as Sythe's Powerminer (which was pretty crap) and Cruels Miner which was good.

    11 Years Old: Looked up on RS-Tools, found out a program called SCAR. Downloaded it and got scripts. Later on in that year, i learned the basic syntax of a SCAR script and learnt how to script and joined this site called MoparIsTheBest and never knew about srl and using MoveMouseSmoothEx etc and by the time i had learnt to script Kaitnieks shut-down.

    12 Years Old: Discovered SRL and joined this community instead. Created an account, came on SRL and had no idea what SRL Stats were. So i downloaded SCAR, leeched and provided some tutorials that got me into Junior Member, then i quit for about 4 months because on MoparIsTheBest my account got banned and decided to leave the cheating scene and Runescape. Later, coming back to the cheating scene under a totally different name (The one i have now) i started to learn SRL and to script properly. Applied for SRL Membership two times with a crappy PowerChopper (which didn't get me in) and then later on (about 2 months later) i applied again which got me into SRL Members.

    13 Years Old (Current Age): Left RuneScape and started to try to learn other various languages such as JavaScript, HTML, Delphi, CSS and PHP which would help me later on in life with a job (as i want to either get a job with Computers or Astronomy). I am in Year/Grade 8 right now and until next year i'll choose my school electives (computer programming) and become more advanced.

    Hope you liked my story

    To be honest, I think you wasted your own life. At any time you could have / should have quitted RS then.

    Very nice read, well life has it's ups and downs you know..
    The only reason I still auto is because Jagex banned my main after I traded 40 million worth of coal ores -,-
    Either way not everyone has a lot of girlfriends/hooks ups during highschool so don't feel too sorry for what you supposedly "missed a bit on", it depends too on where you live (in US relationships are very common and maybe not in other places(I think))..

    Nice to see that you actually work instead of playing runescape tho that's already not as bad as some go..

    well have fun autoing and try to use more than one player when doing so..

    *hugs* glad you are in school and working hard Just be careful and do your research .. RS cheating has changed a lot .. you have to be very careful and sometimes I swear it's just pure dumb luck that stops you from being banned.

    (I don't happen to have that luck lol )

    lol well that about sums up the last 6 years of my life. Although school suffered, as well as my social life and other things. I'm starting up business college in Sept. I log on RS every month or 2 to play hardcore for a week then get bored and let the rest of my subscription run out. It's called the Jagex death grip man, there's no escape!

    For the past 9 months I've had a bad case of the onegina a.k.a girlfriend. After RS, I got back into track and wrestling. RuneScape stole most of my teen years, I just don't think about it ! Unsurprisingly, I'd imagine my story's similar to a good handful of people who got sucked into RuneScape. Myself, I'm staying close to my not life taking over NES, but Diablo 3 is coming!

    I think how RS effected people is a good read. It's usually a lot of the same stuff that I can relate to in many ways. Thanks for sharing!

    Was worth reading However since your acc is way back from RSC even I wouldn't auto on that one.

    Was a great read

    Mine was much worse at my 13th birthday party my best friend said we should join this game (His friend at school had been telling him about it. I didnt know it was free until we looked on there and it said free, we then went onto the site It's heaps good (He's been telling me this for ages).

    -So it was my party i had about 20 mates over and about 10 of us made accounts.

    -Over the next few years we rushed home to play school finished at 3 we were all on by 3:30 usually 3:20.

    -We played from 3:20pm to 1:30am to 2am in the morning or sometimes all nighters sometimes none of us slepted it was random as some nights some of us would sleep because we couldnt move or keep our eyes open and others would be recovered and share times.

    -Weekends parties ? There was no partys there was 24 rave runescape weekends. None of us were intrested in girls until late year 9 which ruined high school.

    -It about 3 months into year 10 finally we started to get bored with rs well you had to work hard to get money none of us autoed we didnt know they really existed.

    That cut it short left alot out but yeah... we all had members in the first month of playing....

    Thanks for reading if u read...

    -Currently learning script
