Ignorance is a life-long journey, and correcting it by yourself may take a few lifetimes. When we come into this world, our presence, like all other things are anew. Every creation is here to stay, here to rejoice, and here to overcome its ignorance.
For much of our early experiences, there was little freedom, little creativity, little margin for error, simply because we knew nothing. Survival was something to be inherited day by day, hoping that there would be a guiding light until we gained control of our own destiny. Fortunately for many of us, there was.
In the gaming world, creation is often accompanied with education and tutorials on how the game works and the responsibilities of your character. Assembling character features can be compared to a baby developing in a womb, naming your character follows the same steps as naming a child, and video game tutorials are no different than raising a child out of infancy. However, before anything major happens we must get intimate with what the creation process truly is.
Let’s first address what creation is not. Creation is not motionless, it is not without influence, it is not birthed from indecisiveness. Creation in the modern sense, is a directive, an authority, a thing that requires ownership. In video games, you are free to be a creator. You direct and influence outcomes, and you will always be the owner of those experiences. Life, whether it be one of many in Super Mario or your real life, is one you must absolutely create. You will have total freedom to move as cautious, as slow, as aware, and as fast as you desire. Cautiousness is not a factor, it’s a creation. Speed is not just a scientific formula, but a creation. Awareness is not a byproduct of genius, but a creation.
RuneScape, is a vast world waiting to be explored…and your life within it, is begging for creativty. It’s a game set in the middle ages, with kings and queens, dungeons and dragons, resource gathering, expert negotiation, a breeding ground for worldwide friendships, and endless oppositions that grow with intensity. RuneScape is a perfect playground with journeys of all kinds, from leisure of players to the most meticulous. RuneScape rewards players of all kinds, leaving each player with their own unique fingerprint – a creation.
Games present to you an endless amount of possibilities, even when your options appear to be limited. The contradiction here is now a point of interest. Once you know what can be done, the natural order of curiosity is to take things one step further. Name your character, but not just any name. A bold name, a great name, a conquerer’s name, a legendary name! Any characteristic that represents you, can be stretched to infinity. Creation is defined, experienced, and refined by you. If there are limits, it will be because you have accepted the fate of an unwillingness to create.
