Hello WildGuard,

I don't really know where to start. But short and sweet - I've completely lost interest in this game and although I can see myself playing it still - I can't have a commitment like EL making me play it/be around it.

I'm 21 and hate that I still play this game. Although I try so hard to not let it interfere, it does affect my real life. It affected decisions I made about my friends; decisions with my girlfriend; decisions I made over work and just decisions in general - even if not directly, it will always be an explicit factor affecting my choices.

This game makes me lazy sometimes - which I hate. Although I would never let it affect my sporting backgrounds, it still induces laziness in myself. So I get invited somewhere, and I really am not sure whether or not I want to go... I know I want to play rs, and so will - which means I loose possible opportunities. I don't like thinking about this.

Anyway, not going to write too much on it. But thought i'ld just give some insight into my thoughts over the last 10 days or so 100% away from the game. It really opened my eyes and I have thought very hard over the right action to take.

I will:
-Be stepping down from Event Leader ( I feel really bad to do this, as I never got fully started, had so much in mind )
-Continue as Elite Guardian ( For now, this seems logical. As I will still have free time for events )
-Continue casually playing rs ( Activities such as fishing/woodcutting/ any afkable skills really help me settle down on some work and so believe this needs to continue ).
-Be re-assessing whether to continue playing at all (quitting WG ultimately) if I do not feel enough changed, or am unhappy with how this game is affecting my life still.

I feel like I let WG down (don't try to claim otherwise, I really did have so much more in mind) and for that, I apologise.

I have 3 days from now, my last event will be Penguins and ToG this Wednesday.. Hope you come along

Rod / Tom / Pineapple.

Hey Tom, although I haven't been around while you've been at the rank, I'm sure you've done a grand job.

No one really lasts at a rank forever (except his lordship). We all get these times when we decide that its time to move onto something new. When you get to that stage, your motivation will fade and you won't have the energy you need and once had.

Sounds like you've thought hard about it, and its time to move on and let someone else have a go.

Best of luck with the decisions, and hope you stay interested in 'scapin !

I normally go over the things you say like once or twice a year, never do anything about it though.

Sad to see you step down, glad to see you staying

Hey Tom! I want to say that I completely and full-heartedly understand where you are coming from on this topic and I am okay with this decision. I often find myself making the same kinds of thoughts on life and Runescape and I feel that you are doing the right thing.

I'm sorry I won't be able to attend your ToG/Peng event this week due to school but I hope it all goes well to you!

I can see his point. RS does that to me too, reason why my internet at home's been cut off (I usually get into the computer room in school during free classes, hence why I'm active on forums). Get that sorted man. I'm trying to as well.

Now that I got your attention, please read my post.
