Back to a time when I’d get up at 6 AM so I could get some more play time in without my mom realizing how many hours I’d played that day.
RuneScape takes me back to a time before my dad died from complications from surgery, before my first high school crush died from an overdose. Back to when death just meant you would respawn in Lumbridge.
RuneScape takes me back, before I’d made many mistakes that would shape who I am. Mistakes worse than accidentally selling your Twisted Bow to the general store as an Ironman.
But it also takes me back to before my daughter was born, before I found out what it was like to be a father to the sweetest girl in the world.
The benefit of the good old days is we aren’t as scarred from life as we are now. But we also haven’t experienced it fully. So I’ll take this nostalgia with me, along for the ride with you guys. It’s players like you that keep this game alive for me, my friends who used to play in the early 2000s are scattered into the wind now.
So let’s mine some iron, even though we’ll likely never mine down in a mine shaft in real life.
Let’s cook some manta rays, though I doubt any of us will ever make that dish at home.
Join me for a beer in the Blue Moon Inn, and tell me your own woes in life. I’m buying.
