I played RuneScape compulsively[1] from about 2005 to about 2013, but haven't really played it since (besides trying OSRS a bit). It's probably the original reason I was interested in programming (I fondly remember poking the client's memory in a debugger to make my local GP seem higher than it actually was).

[1]: I mean this literally: RuneScape is an addicting game, in a way that makes me a little sad.

pretty much my experience too. I learned a bit about life playing the game (im serious), but the time sink doesnt feel worth it in retrospect.
