    Default Lessons learned in runescape.

    Hello guys, I present to you this small little thread to input everything you have learned in runescape that connects to real life. Since I'm the starter, I'll give you guys an idea but I want you to share deep thoughts.
    What I have learned from runescape is to watch out for offers that are too good to be true. Please share and be respectful at all times.

    Don't forget the basics of farming and basic cooking...

    Furthermore, just general ability to touchtype to deal with so much chat in W2 back in the day...

    How to become generally efficient at life, I think I got a bit of that from this game.

    Also how to waste time!! and get extremely frustrated!!

    How basic economics works with supply and demand and basic flipping...

    Investing and Ponzi schemes (smoking mills)..

    Additionally, potential supply side policies regarding Jagex etc

    and demand for new items

    1) Learned the names of many IRL trees
    2) Learned the names of some IRL ores (iron/copper/tin/coal)
    3) Learned about how you need coal and iron to make steel
    4) Learned about dishonest people
    5) Learned about scams such as pyramid scheme
    6) Learned games can have a real effect on you
    7) Learned how to flip (sell something higher than what you bought it for)
    -) I grew up (all of those were before the age of 11)
    -) More recently (within the last 3 years)
    8) Learned how to control an economic environment through the use of the GE
    9) Learned how to long term invest in items (I use this for the stock market today!)
    10) Figured out if you are willing to do a little wrong, there is always a faster way to do something (Bots)
    11) Never give away all your wealth or your methods to making it (Not saying don't help people, just saying don't give away your items)
    12) Runescape is just a game (Yes I learned this, and it affected me IRL as I stopped caring and realized I don't need it to survive on this earth)

    Things I learned through my entire course of RS
    How to be efficient in life
    How to prioritize
    How to talk your way out of things

    Pretty much everything above except for some of the investing things that R4nd0m learned . And yes, friend come and go. I remember thinking of all those people on my friends list who just never logged in any more. It was sort of sad until I realized they were probably off enjoying having a job and just living life . One day I'll be like them, but until then, I'll be right here.
