I have played Runescape for about 3 years now, and I have always been hooked on the game and played religiously several times a week. As of the past 4 months or so, I have been merchanting and only logging in about 10 minutes a day. I have been watching my cash pile grow and I have gone from 10 million gp to around 46 million gp in this time. Recently I had a spare couple of hours to play, and when I logged on I didn’t want to take any of the merchanting money and buy armor or weapons to train. It was as if my money was locked up and couldn’t be used because I didn’t want to dip into the money that has been getting pure returns.

So my question is this, will I ever have enough money to spend wastefully? Will I ever have enough money to take it out and spend it on something besides a easily merchantable item? …my theory is no, why spend it on an item that isn’t going to return profit, even though it returns enjoyment and xp… my outlook on Runescape has been tainted, and the game has less enjoyment than before, even though I am still addicted to making more gp every day.

Though my gp cup runs over now, I feel poorer, and I have become a slave to my desire to make more money and keep reinvesting my profits. Have pity on me… (not really, don’t pity me, I am a riach biach =-P )
