What keeps you playing RuneScape?

Found out about in in summer 2007 when I was at a friends house, I was 13 back then. Started playing actively in winter 2008. Regardless of how pointless the game really is, it's like an alternate reality that I'll never look down upon, even if I stop playing and it's no longer important.

What keeps me playing is my goals, the friends I've met, and not wanting to learn a new MMORPG. My all-time goal is to max out non-cb at under 80 combat on my current account. I really enjoy pking on my near max cb main and the 'new' old wildy will keep me in the game.

I really do wish I could quit, what am I going to tell my spouse my favorite thing to do as a teenage was? Swing at concentrated gold ores with my dragon pickaxe? Stand in Edgeville bank making potions?
