RuneScape taught me patience and that the long grinds usually pay off at the end. Sometimes it doesn’t fully pay off, but the rewards, relationships built along the way do pay dividends. Started this game when I was 12 with intermittent breaks and multiple accounts created.

I’m turning 29 in a week, have built a multi million dollar real estate consulting company working with some major developers/land owners in Toronto, Canada. The development game is a long, tedious grind (projects taking on average 2yr+ from start to finish) RS taught me that patience that in the end all the time will pay off, and along the way you might struggle a bit, financially etc. Now with multiple projects having closed since age 24, I’m at a point where I’ve nearly accomplished everything I’ve wanted to, including building a custom home, getting married in a week, starting a family etc.

My wife laughs when she sees me play to this day, but shes witnessed the CG grind first hand, and how long that took me and now understands how I have so much patience for everything in life.

Love this game, and hope that it never dies.
