goodbye and good luck

i dont think this thread warrants any kind of long-winded melodramatic story, i'll try to be short and sweet. Runescape, for a lot of people, is a crutch for avoiding/coping with an otherwise boring sequence in ones personal life. that's usually what happens for me. coming back this last time was short lived but enjoyable, but, there is some distinct level of narcissistic self-indulgence that i know to be selfish when all things are considered. i think my potential and time is better spent working on real life skills and goals. it's not easy just to play this game casually, despite what some claim. a lot of you, most of you, are really intelligent and well-meaning people. it was a pleasure getting to know you all, and I hope you all do great things in your own lives. it just so happens that for me the game is becoming more and more of a waste of my time and life, and i'd prefer to stop now before it becomes unhealthy. some of you might understand. I won't be returning, i gave away my bank and dropped all my untradeables. if any of you has a serious desire to stay in touch, you can reach out to me in a pm here as I wont be using discord anymore -- we can figure smth out though. i'll probably check for a few days in case.


have fun friends!
