Traygon

This probably annoys me more than most other problems that kids playing RuneScape seem to have. They put you down just because you have a lower level?

So here is a situation – I was training woodcutting with Yews in Gnome Stronghold, just to make some extra cash too and a kid comes along, it then starts off. He kept trying to cut the same Yew tree as I, there were 2 other trees, fully grown and no one present. Why challenge me to my cutting? I started moving tree to tree, although this wasted time for me, it seemed to annoy him so.

Noob! why u cutin ova trees u noob

This is what I saw when I turned public chat on, along with “I looked up ur stats u noob u suk”. I was shocked, looking up someone else’s statistics on RuneScape, how incredible. Some other players joined us seconds after and everyone had a tree to themselves. This kid just wouldn’t stop at me, kept saying crap that just seemed to synchronized from his arse to his keyboard.

Since getting back into RS earlier in the year after a 3 year break, my friends list always remained empty as real life friends stopped playing, other players quit or blocked me and I just wanted to build up my character over getting distracted by chat or event invitations. I have had a change of heart recently, while running under Magicrick123 (few months ago) I joined the clan Swordswingers. This was a first for me, never been apart of a RS clan fully before.

I actually enjoyed it. There was an average of around 5 people on at a time, few events including Clan Wars, which was fun.I was able to chat to them freely, have a laugh and enjoy the game. It was especially useful when exchanging help, tips and pointers in-game. They didn’t have VoIP, nor a decent website, which made me have doubts about the whole thing, especially when it is run by a young teenager with little funds. I did consider creating my own clan, Knights of Twilight. As you can see, it was hugely successful, he he I wish.

Playing RueScape for days on end, leveling up so fast, you actually lie in bed a night wondering if your cat gets stoned, logs onto your account and goes mental. It can get tiring, repetitive and boring. Many players quit when this hurdle approaches, others (like myself) like to leave for a few weeks.

What happens when you want to get back into the game? It’s hard, well… is for me anyway. I haven’t logged on for a few months now I think, but so much has changed. Display names have been introduced (some bastard took Traygon and doesn’t even have one skill in the high scores – I’m left with Traygon123, I may ask JaGex if I can take it), some of my buddies have quit and everyone else has been growing levels while my character remained in the same position afraid that if he moves, I would come and suck out his soul.

They play games, they enjoy games, they put games before important tasks and they make the gaming industry tick (and tock). Correct, I’m talking about gamers! The warm hearted, friendly, talkative folk with a crackin’ sense of humor!

That was what it was like in the good ol’ days. What is the community like today? In a mess, full of spoiled kids and people that just don’t give a whopping shit about other players’ enjoyment. Having played online games on my PC, i have witnessed abuse, players being singled out and gamers repeatedly rule break. A fantastic example below in a Counter Strike: Source game. All I’m going to say is “Holla holla, get dollas”. (caution: contains strong language)

How can someone like that get away with verbal abuse? Not only is he around half the age of other players and would seriously get his head bashed in if he acted like that in real life, it’s just terrible sportsmanship. Read more…
