welcome to geekdom
So I’m at home, and have been since Friday afternoon. I haven’t been keeping up with my diary, or my myspace or anything at all really (except WW… I’m still doing good :-D) But it’s not because I’m at home that I’m neglecting all of my sites… it’s because of a little thing called Runescape. There’s not much to say about it except, you know you’ve entered Geekdom when you see a warning page like this:
Jagex intends everyone to use and enjoy RuneScape in a responsible way.
RuneScape is a computer entertainment product and is operated with the intention of providing our users with an engaging, challenging and entertaining experience which they can enjoy from home, work or college via an online device.
Whilst we do not block people from being logged in to RuneScape over a certain number of hours, we do not encourage people to play for more hours than is reasonable.
Please follow these simple guidelines to maintain a balanced life and get the most out of playing RuneScape.
- Take a break from the computer; read a book, watch a movie.
- Exercise at least once a week.
- Remember it is just a game.
- When eating, take a break from the computer – it’ll still be there when you come back.
- Don’t ignore your real life friends, meet up with them on a regular basis.
- Work, or study matters; don’t let playing a game stop you doing well in your studies or at work.
If you feel that your use of RuneScape is out of control and you are finding it difficult following some or all of the steps mentioned above, then please seek advice and help from a responsible adult, or medical professional.
Yup. And that’s all I have to say about that.

Update to the story. And I play Runescape sometimes. I died laughing when I read that warning.
