Very First Blog Post
Approximately, 14 months ago my family finally was able to obtain a computer after having our desktop suffer a catastrophic meltdown of the system. Since the desktop was a freebie computer from a business we didn’t have the system discs to restore it.
Thanks to the wonders of recieving a nice-sized tax return we were able to buy an HP Pavilion 9205us Laptop with preinstalled Windows Vista. It has been a good computer inspite of some of the griping I’ve heard about from people who have upgraded from Windows XP.
Part of the reason, the decision to buy this laptop is I have two children who like to watch their DVDs and other edu-tainment type shows. After all, how many times can I put up with watching Dora, Diego and Zoboomafoo? I needed something for me while I was home with them and they were either playing or watching something they liked.
I remembered playing Runescape back in approximately 2000-2001. It was only for a little while and I didn’t get very far at all as I couldn’t play it on a 33.6kps modem I had on my Mac at the time. After about 3 weeks, I basically was forced to give it up as it was just too slow for my tastes.
Fast forward to 2007, I was looking for something to play online. I have tried things like yahoo games etc, but they did not meet a requirement I had. I wanted to play with other adults. Because of this I remembered Runescape and then re-registered with this same screen name. I started playing as F2P for a week or so and I finally said, heck with it I’ll pay to play.
As with any game, I have run into the idiots that roam the cyber highways. I’ve added and deleted so many RS screennames I cannot keep track of them. I’ve been part of several clans and left those clans. I’ve made enemies and friends, some just on game others actually outside of RS completely but met thru the game.
My wife even has now a P2P account and says the game is addicting to play. I have to agree, I am addicted to it, also. However, I do take breaks from playing otherwise I get very agitated.
I am enjoying the game as much as I can. I’ll get more into the why in another post.
