I used to, back when I was in grade school...but that was cause my parents wouldn't let me on the interwebz. Now I don't take breaks anymore.

If at anytime Runescape doesn't entertain I stop playing until it does again.

I only play Runescape for a month or two at a time. Not sure why, just go off it for a while..

I've been on one for a few good months. I don't normally go "K, I'm gonna stop playing RS for a month starting... now" but just stop when I get bored of the game.

I don't take breaks...I eat, sleep and live at my computer playing runescape.
I only leave my computer to go to the bathroom.

I took a three year break from after the Christmas event in '06 until a few weeks ago.

I've never spent more than a month away from RuneScape, even if I was only playing an hour a week on freeplayers. And I've been playing since about 2004.

I have taken a few small breaks; mostly friends showing me some other game, I play it solely for a little bit, then get back onto Runescape once I beat it/get bored/get stuck after a week or two.

Hellz yeah, I go nap every so oftenOccasionally I have a few weeks break, but generally I don't get that bored of it

I take a couple of weeks breaks every few months, whenever I have exams or an important protfolio to do for school.

Nov 2 2009, 02:53 PM
I do. Whether they're 2 days or 2 years. They always benefit me, and that's part of the reason that I've basically given up RuneScape.

Got so bored of the PVP...but the skills got me back xD

I don't take many breaks, but I play less than an hour a week on average from September until late June. This is partly due to school, but if I played RuneScape avidly all year long I'd get burnt out on it pretty quickly.

I usually take a shortish break from RuneScape each time I level up in Hunter. It lasts anywhere from two days to one or two weeks.

In those breaks I'm either working on something else (such as a project from school), or I'm playing Spore.

I've been taking longer breaks recently. The game lost my interest after the updates became a bit more dull.

Nov 2 2009, 06:08 PM
Occasionally I take breaks usually when I have become bored of the game. The length varies.
My longest break was probably about 2 1/2 years - haha
I started in 2005 and barely got into the game, but came back.

Before I came back and recently having done my month long spell of trading fires I went on a sabbatical, I often do it with all games to take a breather...but I am generally still in the background mooching around though

I never plan on taking breaks from Runescape, but I just get so bored that I never feel like logging in.

I've had plenty of breaks. I can't really count how many I had already. They range from a few weeks to two years. O_o

Technically, the times I play RuneScape ARE my breaks.
Big Tree

My breaks are usually fairly long. 2 months usually every time.
Just got off one a couple weeks ago.
Feels good to be back in Sal's CC, just haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanging out.

I used to take regular breaks that would last around a week or two. I've played hardly at all this year compared to last year though, I only really log on during weekends and school holidays. After school/sport/other commitments, Runescape really wasn't something I wanted to spend the rest of my time on. Although, I have two weeks of school left so that's a lot more free time, so I may get back into Runescape for a short period.

I take occasional one to few week breaks due to work or holiday trips. Longest break this year lasted 4 weeks.

Breaks? No. Hiatuses? Yes. I usually only play during the fall & winter months, when the weather sucks (I hate snow/ice).

I see what you did there.
Yes, I take breaks but probably opposite to what everyone else does - play during school and not at all during the summer.
Edit: I'm going to assume everyone'll know what I meant by "school".
I'm on one right now

Yep. I used to all the time. Now I think I'm officially on my last break. It feels good knowing that you're not addicted anymore. Maybe when summer rolls around, I'll get back on for a bit, but right now, life's much better without ROONSCAPE. In fact, with all the work I'm getting this year, had I not quit, IDK how I'd ever have put rs into my schedule.

Every so often I'll get bored, so I'll just go inactive for like a week or so until I finally get interested again.

Nov 11 2009, 10:08 PM
i actually take alot of breaks, i'll play alot for like a month or so and then get bored and not want to log in for 2-3 weeks, and play again. Sometimes if I'm real busy i'll go 1-2 months without playing.

I don't go on intentional breaks, really. It's actually the other way around, I log onto RuneScape when I have nothing more fun or more important to do. RuneScape's pretty fun, so that's usually pretty often, but sometimes I get caught up in work on my website, or I feel like programming my own game, or maybe I'll find some other game to play for a while that's more fun for the first few weeks.
Right now I'm playing Runes of Magic because I can play it side by side with my little bro (who doesn't have the cash for a RuneScape membership), which is pretty fun at the moment. I'll be back when the game gets boring, and all the completely combat based games do.

I take breaks when the time I play Runescape is eating up the time I should be spending on more important things (job, school, family, friends, church, physical exercises, ect.) and it's getting in the way. Believe me, it happens.

I don't really go on breaks, I just don't play it as much for a while. For instance, right now I'm more focused on RSC
