Traygon

The cover of the title.

I have spent some money purchasing Microsoft points and buying some cool arcade games like Trials HD. I was rather bored the other night and thought I’d go onto the game marketplace on XBOX Live and buy a full game from the on demand selection. I remember playing Fable on the original XBOX and enjoyed it overall, I have never tried the sequel and thought it might provide me with a few hours of enjoyment to pass the time.

£19.99 was the displayed price, which I was happy with. I quickly checked the preview and after the video had finished I was going to purchase the download. After the preview had finished the price changed on the summary from the given £19.99 to free. I was thinking for a second that I had been sent to the demo or something so I read through the description and looked around in the tabs and it was the full game.

Yes I am now a pawn in the Microsoft empire, wasn’t I already? I mean, they had me naked serving Windows 7 hot dogs with mustard I am that pleased with it. In all seriousness, I needed a games console, something to fill any spare time I have. It was always out of the Wii or the 360 but I just couldn’t have a Wii, I mean why would I want to stand there flicking the controller around like a fairy on my own if I don’t have friends round that day?

My gamertag is Traygon123, if you have XBOX Live then add me, and yes I can advertise my profile on here as it’s my blog! I am normally found shouting and ranting on Halo 3 or being a soar loser on Halo Wars, haven’t really ventured online in any other game just yet.

Why does it have to be males that play online games? Why do females always get left out of the equation? I know some fantastic female clans who are just as dedicated as men are to their game.

Seen a female character in RuneScape? Wondered if it’s a pervert liking the sprites or a real hot female gamer behind the screen just ready to jump out at you and start striping? I know I did back in the day. I remember chatting to some people while mining in Dwarven Mines and a few were girls who were mates in real life, I found it weird at first as normally women aren’t impressed when you talk about your gaming life.

Wouldn't you like this young lady playing in your room?

When you see more play as the months go by, start talking to them and finding out that some are married, have boyfriends or bat on the same field, you begin to disagree with all the articles around the web that games are for blokes. Women can start to disagree with games are for geeks, I admit that many players these days are still a bit ‘geeky’ but most of us are cool and up for a laugh!

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.
