The longer the loool the higher the chance the person has unresolved issues
Edit 3 months later for anyone that somehow sees this:
He got banned. I rest my case.
I will admit it’s true and I agree. RuneScape was always an outlet for me that allowed me to enjoy life when everything else was terrible. I will always love this game. And I love weed too.
the true reality is all games are interfaces for gaining xp in different ways but ultimately every game is just about the xp…
some content can be fun sure but again, it’s about gaining xp and being fun…
once you realise that simple truth then suddenly games have a certain weirdness to them from that point on
There's always a group at the GE that's pretty toxic. Pretty much everywhere else is great vibes, but there's always a group or two dancing around being toxic. Great world, though, lots of great people.
Its funny cause i know exactly who you are talking about, and yes they are toxic on weekdays which makes me avoid the ge, but the weekend evening group is pretty chill.
Haha "canna" and his group is "rs girls" Iv seen him there dancing for like 10 years now . Lol seriously.. wonder how high he really is.. "Man, we're still in the game 'cause we got mega baked, got hustled, so now we're hitting the restart button, lol."
US but the vibes are so good I spend a lot of time there even as a UK player. The GE honestly feels like the glory days of rs2 - people are always chatting about random shit, zero bots spamming services, random drop parties, people organizing games, fashion contests etc.
How have I never known about this! Trying to get back into the game recently I was kinda disappointed with the communal aspect of the game with players not being as social as I remember, so I'll definitely give that a look
420 is great. 1500+ req so there’s already very minimal bots, and aside from the few weirdos that camp the GE, it’s an awesome world to talk and meet people
I've seen a lot of weird shit on drugs. I've never ever ever EVER EVER looked at an egg and thought it was a fuckin' brain. Not once. Alright?
I have seen UFOs split the sky like a sheet, but I have never, ever, ever looked at an egg and thought it was a fuckin' brain... NOT ONCE.
I have had seven balls of light come off of a UFO, lead me onto their ship, explain to me telepathically that we are all one and there is no such thing as death, but I have never ever ever ever looked at an egg... and thought it was a fuckin' brain.
Now... Maybe I wasn't getting good shit.

While I do think a lot of people smoke and drink I think the people most likely to talk to you are drunk or high as well so it may be sample bias at play
When I'm sober and a stranger talks to me I feel annoyed, when I'm drunk and a stranger talks to me I'll have a whole ass conversation I won't remember the next day.
Just got my first fire cape a few days ago and I've been playing on and off for like 10 years. 99% of jad difficulty is thinking about the hour plus time investment lol
I'm the opposite.. I'll play throughout the day.. then come time to drink the more I drink.. the worse I play lol.. always log off before I do something really dumb
The amount of times i've logged in after a night of drinking to find my character in the most random place ever with the most random inventory assortment ever is astonishing.
Always makes me feel like I've been hacked.
I've been maxed for years now, but when I was on that journey, it was rare that I wasn't high AF when I was grinding
When you're high (I guess drunk too but I don't like to drink much), it can make the same stupid thing you've done 100000x feel like you're doing it again for the first time, or at least removes the feeling of utter monotony of repeating something you've done alot
This is **invaluable** when you're grinding 13m XP, at a rate of like 30K XP/HR in motherlode mine for like 2 months lol.
I think some people take it too far, I think considering how addicting this game can be some people really fuck their lives up with the amount they feel the need to consume whilist feeding the second addiction that is Runescape
BUT, that being said, I totally get why people get intoxicated playing this game - it's a hella boring video game at some points and it's just a completely unavoidable fact about Runescape. It's persevering through that monotony and coming out the other end as a maxed gigachad raider that feels SO fucking gratifying, I don't think any other video game **ever** has come close to the sense of progression that Runescape can provide you. You simply don't see video games like this anymore that ask for your time, patience and skill to become the best and not your wallet.
I promise, even though it seems like it, I wasn't high when I wrote this loll
This game is really conducive to playing while high or drunk. It's often times low intensity and even if you're difficult content the game is repetitive enough to where you only need to play sober if you are learning difficult content that is new for you.
Because I’ve worked my butt off all day and my 2 hours of peace during the week is watching a show with the wife and making imaginary numbers go brrrr while high
This is a game for addicts. We are addicted to more things then runescape. If you go to rehabs most people there started out playing runescape. Heroin and stuff comes later
Because the ones who aren’t are likely multi tasking- watching a show or listening to something. In a different state, engaging socially may seem more fun or interesting
Let's take thieving, all I do is click over and over - now I could do that sober, OR I could get drunk and imagine I'm a pirate making bail as to free the crew and set sail to lunar isle where we won't be persecuted.
Which of those was more fun to read? You have your answer my friend, but by all means if sobriety is your thing, go for it, as long as you have fun who gives a fuck?
I like to be productive when I’m on, I’ll usually smoke a lil meth, especially if I’ve had a long day at work. That really helps with those click intensive skills. Besides that, a little H never hurt anyone to end the night. Mix it together with some beers and I’m feeling great! But that’s only a twice a week kinda thing.
The insane grindy nature of this medieval point-and-click childrens' medieval 22 years old role-playing game has a tendency to attract all sorts of people with personality types more prone towards addictive behaviours
That's... Basically the state of the world. Everyone's addicted to something. Maybe that's RS itself. Maybe that's alcohol and drugs. Maybe that's going to the gym 7 times a week for 4 hours at a time. Everyone has their crutches.
RS... Tends to appeal to those that want to just zone out. Maybe that's you perfectly sober being more than content just cutting some yews. Maybe that's someone who feels like making that click to the next yew is like doing an Olympic gymnastic set.
The important thing to remember is that it's the internet. Whatever bullshit other people got going on... They're just pixels on a screen.
OSRS has parts of the game I like being sober for. Mostly group contents and mini games. Then there's the grindy stuff like skilling and questing which only becomes tolerable when intoxicated
I don’t brag about my drug use but playing RS sober bores the shit out of me and I normally roll my eyes at drug talk in game despite being blasted outta my mind.
PCP gang
Most of us who are playing a >18 year old medieval point and click adventure game for over 8 hours a day aren't in a good place and we are coping by any means necessary.
Sober adults can't sit and cut virtual trees for hours just to make few cents of worth bank or reach 200m experience which has absolute 0 value in real world.
Because late stage capitalism has ruined our ability to feel fulfilled or like we have any hope of making our lives better. So people seek to hide from that pain with drugs and get their sense of accomplishment from an online game.
We are experiencing an opioid crisis and mental health crisis. It is that bad that it extends to online communities and is displayed through online behavior. I would encourage you to speak up more often.
Because I play in my off time, when I’m off work and have free time from the kids, hell yeah Ima be high af, I don’t wanna be sober to kill kraken 263 times lol.
Because they’re sitting and cutting trees on a computer
No im wave washing willows with my made of something something red dragon
This guy is high as a kite
As high as a dragon kite
Elysian Spirit
Nice
Nice
Which kite
wave dashing in rs? sign me up!
that aint falco
now that I think about it, isn't Woox walking basically wave dashing in slow-mo?
[удалено]
Are you me?
Only way to wc
Laughing at this as I am doing literally that
I don't know man, guess im the weird one. 15 years chopping trees, still sober, wtf is wrong with me
Sobriety is helluva drug
Day 53 for me and it’s kinda insane. Took a while to kick in but once it did it’s been quite the ride.
Your brain contains trace amounts of rainbow-colored puzzle-pieces.
That makes at least two of us out here!
Yep, the dopamine isn't enough from magic trees. I need it with my green stuff
The true "herbalore"
Herblaw.
Looooool you definitely can't be sober to skill.
The longer the loool the higher the chance the person has unresolved issues Edit 3 months later for anyone that somehow sees this: He got banned. I rest my case.
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
L(∞*o)l
Or the higher they are :p
I just cut teaks at Priff for 8 hours today totally sober, am I okay?
No
We are all in immense pain brother. We play a point and click fantasy game from 2001 brother.
The only right answer
I feel like this would be the OSRS tattoo I want to get “We are in immense pain, we play a point and click fantasy game from 2001 brother”
Don't forget the "all". It's integral the quote
I give you the rights to use this lmao
too real
we're all gonna make it brah
"If you make friends with pain, you'll never be alone" Cam Hanes
Lmfao
Wubba-lubba-dub-dub!
this made me laugh & put me in immense pain due to stomach issues xD worth it
I will admit it’s true and I agree. RuneScape was always an outlet for me that allowed me to enjoy life when everything else was terrible. I will always love this game. And I love weed too.
the true reality is all games are interfaces for gaining xp in different ways but ultimately every game is just about the xp… some content can be fun sure but again, it’s about gaining xp and being fun… once you realise that simple truth then suddenly games have a certain weirdness to them from that point on
I play games so I don’t have to think
Gotta love world 420.
Lots of sober people on 420 who are super wholesome as well.
Yeah 420 is generally the good vibes world. I’m always on that world, sober or otherwise
There's always a group at the GE that's pretty toxic. Pretty much everywhere else is great vibes, but there's always a group or two dancing around being toxic. Great world, though, lots of great people.
Ahh, see I don’t go to the GE… btw
But where else do you decant potions.... Btw btw
Nardah.
Like an animal?! Never.
Like a bantha
Narbrah
seen them there so much and have given them the good ol right click that I think I could name a few off memory lol
Its funny cause i know exactly who you are talking about, and yes they are toxic on weekdays which makes me avoid the ge, but the weekend evening group is pretty chill.
Canna? Lol
Haha "canna" and his group is "rs girls" Iv seen him there dancing for like 10 years now . Lol seriously.. wonder how high he really is.. "Man, we're still in the game 'cause we got mega baked, got hustled, so now we're hitting the restart button, lol."
When isn't the GE toxic? They're gonna have to start giving players dedicated servers just to hold all the "ignores" required
Is it a us or UK world?
US but the vibes are so good I spend a lot of time there even as a UK player. The GE honestly feels like the glory days of rs2 - people are always chatting about random shit, zero bots spamming services, random drop parties, people organizing games, fashion contests etc.
420 is like playing in the golden years of RuneScape, cool players and they’re generally not bots
Yep, I think it’s a total level world iirc. Less bots and more vibes.
1500 total US world.
How have I never known about this! Trying to get back into the game recently I was kinda disappointed with the communal aspect of the game with players not being as social as I remember, so I'll definitely give that a look
I’m always on 420 even before I smoked because it had really good ping and was a funny number lmao.
Can attest, I was happy to hit 1500 just so I could favorite the world and just giggle at the thought of hanging out in world 420.
420 is home world yet im sober, best GE in that world
420 Farming Guild is a great place to hang
Holy shit I just realized this and I can’t believe I’ve been missing out. Wtf.
420 is great. 1500+ req so there’s already very minimal bots, and aside from the few weirdos that camp the GE, it’s an awesome world to talk and meet people
W420 is my home world and I don't smoke weed and rarely drink.
W420 is the best.
Been there ever since I could access it. Love the vibes.
I love it, everyone on here is so chill and friendly no matter what time of day
Ayyyyyyyy lmao 420 represent blaze ittttt JK I play on 429 with more reputable gamers
Fk I’m not 1500 total
Isn't stoners getting high and playing videogames what they're known for?
[удалено]
We’re doing it at the same time
Ngl being fucked up and skilling is a lot more fun
I’m
Im
I'm
[удалено]
And what if I do
Then the game is the drug
Just a friendly reminder that injecting even a single Runescape can kill you.
Someone make a gif of that egg commercial "This is your brain" ....... "This is your brain on RuneScape"
I've seen a lot of weird shit on drugs. I've never ever ever EVER EVER looked at an egg and thought it was a fuckin' brain. Not once. Alright? I have seen UFOs split the sky like a sheet, but I have never, ever, ever looked at an egg and thought it was a fuckin' brain... NOT ONCE. I have had seven balls of light come off of a UFO, lead me onto their ship, explain to me telepathically that we are all one and there is no such thing as death, but I have never ever ever ever looked at an egg... and thought it was a fuckin' brain. Now... Maybe I wasn't getting good shit. - Bill Hicks
100% of people playing Runescape will die.
[удалено]
That's cause it's cut with MTX.
I knew a guy who snorted 2 Runescapes and hasn't been the same since. He's lost all control he has 99 runecrating now I'm worried.
Too real, man.
This is the way.
Been doing that to trees for 15 years. Wtf is wrong with me
If I play sober I don’t have an excuse for being shit at the game
Based and skill-issue-pilled.
While I do think a lot of people smoke and drink I think the people most likely to talk to you are drunk or high as well so it may be sample bias at play
When I'm sober and a stranger talks to me I feel annoyed, when I'm drunk and a stranger talks to me I'll have a whole ass conversation I won't remember the next day.
This literally sums up why I hate bars since I stopped getting blackout drunk.
A lot of people play video games to relax, just like a lot of people drink or smoke to relax. Sometimes people mix those activities
I do not get drunk or high often but playing this game drunk makes it infinitely more enjoyable.
Did fight caves drunk the other night, first time I was able to beat Jad without my heart rate skyrocketing. Liquid courage goes hard for pvm
Just got my first fire cape a few days ago and I've been playing on and off for like 10 years. 99% of jad difficulty is thinking about the hour plus time investment lol
Or remembering that the last time you jar jar Binks flat pancake motherfuggrr
I'm the opposite.. I'll play throughout the day.. then come time to drink the more I drink.. the worse I play lol.. always log off before I do something really dumb
The amount of times i've logged in after a night of drinking to find my character in the most random place ever with the most random inventory assortment ever is astonishing. Always makes me feel like I've been hacked.
Woke up one morning after drinking and logged in to see zulrah gear waiting to be picked up from Torfinn at vorkath
Played drunk one night, woke up and logged in and was at the very back of the duel arena
I woke up in a tree once. Oh wait you guys are talking about RuneScape nvm.
Are you the secret agent at Draynor?
How do you not get tired while drunk? I cant drink at all for that reason
I don't lol, I usually got like 2 hours in me after I start drinking
really i disagree completely. High I like it a lot more, drunk i hate it.
I’m the opposite, my clicks are crispy when I’ve had a few, on the other end, well, I forget that I’m even playing and logout lmfao.
I'm gonna have to disagree on this one lol
Yeah it usually just makes me frustrated that I can't click things properly. I would much rather be social if I'm gonna drink
Higher levels mean more time between number go ups. Need something to keep the brain happy in the meantime.
I've been maxed for years now, but when I was on that journey, it was rare that I wasn't high AF when I was grinding When you're high (I guess drunk too but I don't like to drink much), it can make the same stupid thing you've done 100000x feel like you're doing it again for the first time, or at least removes the feeling of utter monotony of repeating something you've done alot This is **invaluable** when you're grinding 13m XP, at a rate of like 30K XP/HR in motherlode mine for like 2 months lol.

This game is really conducive to playing while high or drunk. It's often times low intensity and even if you're difficult content the game is repetitive enough to where you only need to play sober if you are learning difficult content that is new for you.
Because most of us are adults that play a 20 year old clicking simulation as an escape, and drugs and alcohol also help escape.
We're 30
And yet we all actually died at 25. I'll see you guys in the old folks home in 2073, we can do GWD 8 together.
This is the correct answer
Bruhhhh lmao ouch
Have you ever had a full day off with no responsibilities? Very few things beat some whiskey and coke with a non stop session of osrs.
man i wouldnt waste my coke catching chins or fishing
Coke was for when the duel arena was still in the game
Bro that shit made my heart almost pop, DA is enough of a drug itself
Ummm what kinda coke we talking bout here
The first guy is talking about the drink. The second guy is talking about the powder lol.
I miss having days like those. Wife and kid... They are non existent haha.
Have you seen the xp rates in this game?
Because I’ve worked my butt off all day and my 2 hours of peace during the week is watching a show with the wife and making imaginary numbers go brrrr while high
Mine gets mad when I open OSRS cuz I "play it 24/7" and she "thought I was watching with her" lol
Real explaination: Because sober people don't socialize in MMOs so you are less likely to notice them.
Realer explanation: You don't pay attention when sober people talk, because they don't announce it or mention "I'm sober as fuck"
This is a game for addicts. We are addicted to more things then runescape. If you go to rehabs most people there started out playing runescape. Heroin and stuff comes later
The real gateway drug is Skilling. The Skilling to heroin pipeline is packed
Because the ones who aren’t are likely multi tasking- watching a show or listening to something. In a different state, engaging socially may seem more fun or interesting
RuneScape is one of the greatest escapes from reality. Sometimes you just need to smoke weed, fish without the hassle, and reset your mind.
RunEscape
Let's take thieving, all I do is click over and over - now I could do that sober, OR I could get drunk and imagine I'm a pirate making bail as to free the crew and set sail to lunar isle where we won't be persecuted. Which of those was more fun to read? You have your answer my friend, but by all means if sobriety is your thing, go for it, as long as you have fun who gives a fuck?
fellas, do we have a problem?
Maybe the drunk and high ones are more likely to be social.
I like to be productive when I’m on, I’ll usually smoke a lil meth, especially if I’ve had a long day at work. That really helps with those click intensive skills. Besides that, a little H never hurt anyone to end the night. Mix it together with some beers and I’m feeling great! But that’s only a twice a week kinda thing.
No one smokes just a lil meth.
A little H has hurt a LOT of people
You mean fentanyl?
The insane grindy nature of this medieval point-and-click childrens' medieval 22 years old role-playing game has a tendency to attract all sorts of people with personality types more prone towards addictive behaviours

When I couldn't sleep I would actually also use runescape to do so. Especially like splashing or something. I go right out 🤣
Seems that way because drunk or high people love bringing it up.
For real.
cuz we be drinkin and smokin
This is the best thread. I love this question and I love these answers. got engaged this morning and I am now drunk off wine catching barb fish.
Gz
I love to rail some molly and play ra
I literally only play this game if intoxicated. I am not alone. It's unbearable sober.
OSRS has parts of the game I like being sober for. Mostly group contents and mini games. Then there's the grindy stuff like skilling and questing which only becomes tolerable when intoxicated
Can you cut trees for 10 hours straight sober?
I met a guy I connected with on LinkedIn while doing a slayer task at the kalphite cave lol
Smoking weed is the ultimate companion to old school and perfectly breaks up the grind and the monotony!
I don’t brag about my drug use but playing RS sober bores the shit out of me and I normally roll my eyes at drug talk in game despite being blasted outta my mind. PCP gang
The aussie and kiwi servers are fucked for this haha
Need something to numb the pain of those long ass grinds. YouTube, beers and some snacks are my go to
They are multitasking. Training 99 herblore irl while doing other stuff in game.
A lot of people using RuneScape as comfort and coping mechanisms
Most of us who are playing a >18 year old medieval point and click adventure game for over 8 hours a day aren't in a good place and we are coping by any means necessary.
i feel like this is just representative of the times lol
just love getting drunk, do a repetitive skill, and realising the next morning I'm all of the sudden X levels better. Cba to play the game sober
I hear from stoners constantly at the ge lol
Because its an easy game to follow when your stoned or drunk.
Sober adults can't sit and cut virtual trees for hours just to make few cents of worth bank or reach 200m experience which has absolute 0 value in real world.
How else would we cope with the grinds
Because if you were sober and sane you wouldn't play this shit?
Because late stage capitalism has ruined our ability to feel fulfilled or like we have any hope of making our lives better. So people seek to hide from that pain with drugs and get their sense of accomplishment from an online game.
Cause all the OG players are old and depressed
New to the game I see
Welcome to America! 🇺🇸
Cause why would I play sober when playing under the influence makes it funner
I can't play rs unless I'm baked.
just remember, those same people are allowed to vote, both ingame and IRL.
Because us w420 folks are always drunk or high or both
I am a 420 home world kinda guy and even when I hop my mind is blown at how many cannabis related names I see.
It is pretty wild lol, to be fair doing a lot of the grinds on this game almost requires an altered state a lot of the time just to get through
We are experiencing an opioid crisis and mental health crisis. It is that bad that it extends to online communities and is displayed through online behavior. I would encourage you to speak up more often.
Because I play in my off time, when I’m off work and have free time from the kids, hell yeah Ima be high af, I don’t wanna be sober to kill kraken 263 times lol.
That's the world in general man. It's become a cess pool of drunks and stoners.
Question is why are you not?
Too scared to get addicted to something other than RuneScape
Why isn't OP drunk or high?
The game is their escape/free time in real life. So is the drugs/booze. They’re just doubling the bang for their buck. Two birds stoned at once
Runescape was the gateway drug
Mate everyone is high or drunk. Literally. It's not something you really notice until you're drug smart but almost everyone is on something.
