RuneScape- Is It Really Just a Game?

Is RuneScape really just a game?

OK, some of you might be thinking, what the heck is this person talking about??? I know it might be confusing, but I’ll explain.

RuneScape, as you know, is an MMORPG. Played in the browser, it’s really famous. But is it just a simple game? That’s what I’m going to explain to you.

OK- this might surprise you. But in fact, RuneScape is proven to be beneficial in some aspects to teenagers. Although it’s not good to be addicted to it, RuneScape is actually like our society today- you work for money, save up money for an item you want, or just the stocks. Stocks in RuneScape would be everything in the Grand Exchange; it’s basically the same thing. Prices for something rise up and down, and people sell when it goes “up.” Unbelievable, right? I’ll explain why this is proven.

This research was done by a university which proved RuneScape was beneficial. Like I said above, RuneScape is helpful in these aspects. BUT, RuneScape also helps in psychological aspects; I mean, hitting your first million would make you feel realllyyyyy happy, right? Right. It makes you feel good when you achieve a lifelong goal. Imagine- wouldn’t you be happy in real life if you win the lottery? This is the same thing.

In the end, you choose whether you can make RuneScape work for you. It might be fun and enjoyable to some people, but that’s just it. Nothing good comes out of it. People who choose to use RuneScape as a valuable tool to learning social habits; also a tool for your own patience and well-being.
