The reasons why you keep playing - Good topic!
By Pk Javin on 30/04/2008
I've played runescape since RSC.
And i was always on and off with this game, but no matter what, i always seem to go back to runescape.
What exacly is it that motivates you to keep playing runescape?
Is it your...
Goals
Friends
Clan
The Fun
As for me, why i keep playing is the people in it, even though they are my "internet" friends, i seem to get along with many of them, and they are all layed back and down to earth kinda guys. IRL friends are like that too, but not all of them.
Also the goals - I wanted to get 85 slayer, 94 magic, 70 agility, 120 combat...etc.
This should be a interesting topic.

I've played since classic too 
I only play it now for the sake of WG, the friends i've met along the way and because it gives me something to do whilst I make my own java game.

lol, first it was goals during the classic days. I've always wanted to 3-hit people L.
Then as soon as I got into clan-life, friends keep me playing the game

friends mainly inside and outside of the game
an IRL friend just got me back into it after a long break and me and him do barrows and **** together that's one of the main things that keeps me here also goals

Hmm, when I quit RuneScape, I thought about going back on more than one occasion. What stopped me from going back was that I had Alched my Fire Cape, Torso, Etc.. (Plan Worked as Intended)
The removal of PKing and Staking was something that kept me away as well, Simply because that was mainly all I did. Note; I did quit months before the Major Updates.
So, nothing really brought me back, only turned me away.
All the Friends I had on RuneScape I either have connections to on Msn, 360 Live, WoW, or right here in WG. So I still keep in touch with them regulerly, that might be a reason why I didn't come back as well, because I still had a way to contact all of my friends.
So, since I can't say anything about Coming back I'll add a little bit about why I havn't left playing WoW yet.
WoW, added a sence of excitement to gaming. Mostly because the Raiding aspect of WoW. For those of you that don't know...
A Raid in WoW is a group of people, Either 10, 25, or 40 People. With the combined orginization of these people you are able to take down Creatures that you could not do anyway else.
A raid is compromised of Tanks (Characters with the ability to take enourmous ammount of Damage from said boss), DPS (Characters that do Damage to the Boss), and Healers (Characters who's priority is to keep the Tanks and if possible the DPS alive)
So everyone was a job, if one person fails at their job, it could get the whole raid killed.
So, what I'm getting down to...It's a Challenge, sure there were some bosse sin runeScape, but not the type in WoW, where you have so many people relying on so many others to get the kill.
Sorry, extremely off topic but I kind of branched out from the main Point.

I'm not really sure anymore, it's just something I do. 
Also on a side note RUNESCAPE NEEDS RAIDS SO BAD IT'S LIKE GAH!

The thing is they'd need to implement a different type of Healing, and Tanking Strategy.
The only thing that would be even close to that now is Lunar Healing spells, or CW Bandages.
