RuneScape: The Childhood Killer
Runescape and its horrible effects on children.
Over 150000 kids at a time are on the runescape servers, chopping wood , fighting, or any other “skill” they want to improve their character on. But where is the danger all they do is make a “Imaginary”, character online and try to improve them to become the ultimate Adventurer. The danger is in the addiction that overcomes the kids. They just want to play more and more, kids stay on for up to 10 hours a day to look at pixels and get digital rewards. Tiltonmax(runescape user name) admitted to staying up 26 hours just playing on runescape just to feed his addiction.” It’s just a drive once I get on the game I just cant stop playing until I fall asleep on the computer”.”I forget and cant feel hunger or even bowel movements, while I am playing”.-Tiltonmax June 30 2009.
Getting deprived of sleep and gaining weight is not a positive influenceon kids. We need to stop this while we can.Runescape often leads players down a path to depression. The reson being they sit there and play the game for hours and hours and wonder why they have been falling on the popularity chart. There are many adults worried about their kids addiction to Runescape. The Mmajority of people who play Runescape are addicted to it. When people think of addiction they think of cigarettes or illegal drugs, but in today’s youth their addiction is electronics. To all the Runescape addicts that are reading this. I suggest you stop playing immediately . It is leading your life in a downward spiral. I have learned all of this because I too, was a former Runescape addict. I have seen a great improvement in my life since I have quit playing,it frees up my time, I go to the gym, quitting was one of the best choices I ever made.
To all the parents that want their kids to quit, keep talking to them. Parents, you also need to encourage outdoor activities, take your kid fishing or play basketball with them or another fun outdoor activity. I’m not writing this to insult people, I’m writing this to help the youth. Youth is the Future, and don’t you want the future to make excellent advancements? Well let me tell you , Runescape and other online games are not going to help.

Just because one kid is stupid enough to sit at a computer screen for hours on end doesn’t mean the rest of us feed on games.

That’s not true, Runescape is great as long you still can control the times you’re playing. Those who are playing for over 15 hours are basically stupid and should be considered as mentally deficient to survive in this world.
