In my school you will not be called a nerd just, someone with bad taste in games. For example if you tell someone that you play rune scape they will say "why do you play runescape?" XD but, most people don't really care as long as you don't talk about it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

It just doesn't come up in conversation with my friends, and people still get bullied in my year for playing Online Games. Stupid really, since everyone I know plays Xbox/PS3 for around the same amount of time that I play Runescape, yet I would get the stick and they wouldn't ...

I guess you're lucky then . In my school as soon as you say you do your social life is over... Me playing Runescape remains a secret.

I don't usually tell people, except a group of close friends and I sometimes have a little chat about it at Lunch or something when there's nothing to mock really.

But no, I don't get called a nerd for that. I get called a nerd for being generally good at my subjects.

That will die out when you get to the serious years and they're begging for help with work.

It actually has begun already, lol . And I've never cared for people I don't care about's opinion about me.
But I agree with the point in your first post, my friend is on Ps3 for like 7 hours a day and is considered cool; another friend plays Runescape for 7 hours a day and is considered a geek. I like both the same really..

Nope I haven't ever been called a nerd unless you mean in game to.

One time my friend mentioned RuneScape I said I don't play it anymore and quickly changed the subject.

You guys tell people o.O

Instant social death = Runecape+ Runescape iamge edits + runescape podcast

OH SHIZZLE

Same to everything.



+1. Ftw.

Yeah, only 3 people know.

Sometimes I wish it was more popular and I didn't have to dart my eyes around in every single direction before even saying 'Guthix' and then making it sound like we were talking about cars as soon as someone else joins the conversation.



Wooden Gravy.

I don't give a damn. I play a number of online games, and console games. I'm a gamer, or at least consider myself to be one. Sure I'm not going to tell people I play it outright. I tell people I do videos and give them my channel, but I mean really, I have freakin' LPs of Pokemon hacks up on my channel, exactly how much do you think I care of your opinion? If you're going to dislike me because of what I like then that only proves you are shallow.

No everyone is happy about runescape in my school, the thing that people don't like is funorb even though I play it more than runescape.

I get stick for playing the wii, far too many sony fanboys in my year who moan about everything which doesn't have Playstation written over it.

I have kept runescape quiet for many years. Far too many absolute lies. Only a handful of people know that I used to play it a couple of years ago, but they think I quit. But it would not be a happy story telling people about it.

+1. If someone doesn't like me because of a game I like, then that person is an idiot, and I don't really want to be friends with the person, so I don't really care what the heck he thinks of me.

I don't hide the fact that I play RuneScape, but I don't brag about it either. If someone asks me what games I like, I tell them RuneScape, the LOZ series, and a few other ones. A couple friends of mine give me grief over being on the computer so much in general, but it's all in fun.

It might help things that I'm homeschooled, but I still have more friends than just about anyone at my church (yes, we have lots of real friends, and it's not the same as popularity), and I know a lot of people in other places as well, such as my basketball team. It also might help things that I can beat the crap out of just about anyone (if I wanted to. I don't, but people I don't know well enough to trust don't need to know that ), so people don't exactly go out of their way to make an enemy out of me.

some of my mates play it, but no one really talks about it in school usually xobx and ps3 what people have said

... In my school, Runescape is considerd the worst of the worst, if you play Winnie the Pooh's adventure or Pokémon (for that matter) you're "outclassing" the 'scape players by a lot...

Disney games and pokemon are more appreciated than Runescape...

to be honest i really couldent give a f**k about what people think of what games u play its ur life

It's true that it's shallow, but I'd rather not be alienated. I have enough self-esteem issues with a load of friends, I don't need people bullying me X_X

all my friends know i play runescape, they dont care cause they know it dosn't shape my personality.

Everyone seems to think that Online Games are all stupid. Obviously spending your whole life online on an Xbox is normal and makes you cool.
But yeah, I tend to avoid telling people where possible.

I get bullyed but not for playing scape If I told them I played scape.... oh dearie me.

Some people know, they dont pick cause I could kick their asses.

Nobody knows except for my really close friends and people I know IRL who play aswell.
I'm in the same boat as Scrum here.

ye same here

I dont try to bring it up, 1 thing noone knows about rs in general. 2nd, its usually my friends who bring it up and I generally dont talk about rs outside rs. So no I can't say I have been called a nerd for playing rs.

I let that loose in 2005, discussing the POH glitch with a friend, and for four years, one kid would always blurt out Durial, up until I graduated.

No one at my school knows I play.

I like to think that nobody wouldn't care, but I would probably get made fun of

I do not go to school nor do i play runescape but i feel like being included in this topic.


I played WoW in grade 11 and 12 and was endlessly ridiculed for a week until i punched one of the guys out (for an unrelated matter) then every shut the fudge up.

I'de assume it would be equal to or worse though if i had ever played runescape.

Only my closest friends know I play RuneScape. And one of them plays RS himself.

WINZORZ

If anyone knows, i'm over.
Playing when your in your mid teens is another thing, and playing when your in university is another.


Though I do have a few really close friends that know, some of them actually have an account; don't play as much as me though.

Some kids started playing RuneScape in our library and almost died .

I think that's all that needs to be said.

As

Only like three other people play RS, and they are made fun of all the time (no one knows I play). But people that play WoW are praised.

Most of my friends don't know what runescape is, lol
and i don't plan on telling them because no one ever expects me to play that type of a game ..

Playing RuneScape is instant social death at my school. Only my close friends know I play.

I haven't told anyone. If someone asked me if I played it, I'd tell them that I do.
I don't think it would cause much trouble... My friends would probably be the only ones to tease me about it, simply because people at my school tend to keep to their own group. My friends would probably tease me about it for a while, but it wouldn't be hatred or anything.

Only times I've heard "Runescape" said at my school is by my friend who said "That has almost as bad graphics as runescape!". But I don't think he would care much if I told him I played. He'd probably just wanna annoy me with the new knowledge

Almost everyone at my school doesn't know what RuneScape is...

Only about ten people in the entire world (not including Jagex staff, and the US government ) know that I play RuneScape. I don't really go about boasting it... Being a gamer isn't exactly the key to social status.

Last year, people just asked me to play something better like WOW or Halo. I ignored them.

This year, no one has called me a nerd yet and I often talk about it in public.

How do you do that without somebody calling you a online no-lifer for the rest of eternity?

No one at my college Knows i play except my roomate and hes doesn't even know what Runescape is.

Oh and last year I punched some ass out for mocking me about it.

I got some smiley faces at lunch who discover I play RuneScape when I write stories about it, so they're the ones who get punched.

The one person at school who knows I play RuneScape also plays RuneScape.

My year is a bunch of toughies, im kind of in that group.. is theres any sign of nerdyness ur life isnt worth living.. people know that i played it a couple of years ago, that was when it was big in the class.. but nowadays i have "Quit"so yes i would get bullied for playing it lol

If someone ever brings it up I "quit" yea quit, only two people know I play. Both of them play, its kind of annoying some times, but if I tell anyone umm, its time to move towns yea thats what its like at my school.

Amen.

Secret.

other people play and also other people play WOW so no one really cares

I dont get called a nerd but everyone looks at me funny and asks why I do.

A lot of my friends play it.... My friends and I are seniors in highschool. It really doesn't matter once you and your friends realize that games are all time wasters, just runescape is a terrible looking one.

i dont talk about it over and over but everyone knows... at my school you tell one person you tell them all its annoying everyone asks me why i play its just so annoying

oh well could be worse
