Introduction

This book is written from the vantage point of a PC gamer, who has faced incredible challenges along their journey in a game called RuneScape. Some story lines have ended in triumph, and many more have ended in defeat. With over a decade of off-and-on playtime, my goal is to shed light on the vastness, elegance, and relatability that the RuneScape video game imparts onto all of its players, which has grown well into the millions.

I have learned immensely about life, communication, commitment, achievement, loss, and hardship. Nearly every meaningful experience can be had on RuneScape, and that makes it the perfect tool to speak on life itself.
