We can all use a little help from our friends, right? Well, if your friends are a lot different than mine, probably at times you actually get some help. As for me, I’ve simply become used to the fact that my friends are more like cement blocks for shoes than people that make a positive impact on my life. I have also come to feel slightly less than no shame in asking strangers for an act of kindness when I’m really in need. For the most part this works as well as dealing with my friends, but my hardened mind has recently discovered something new. Its people helping people. Actually, its even strangers helping strangers I couldn’t believe it. But its true, its RuneScape tips.

It probably shouldn’t be such a surprise that those spending their time playing the RuneScape virtual adventure may be more inclined to use online resources, such as forums and virtual archives, but RuneScape tips seem to go beyond that. I have been absolutely astonished at the level of concern that some players have for others. Some players are simply in it to offer a little help to those in need..

Of course there’s always a little bit of self-preservation witnessable in any act of seeming altruism. Any new player can certainly have the affect of improving the overall experience of all players involved; but is this the rationale behind the RuneScape tips pages? Speculation is tricky business, but in this case I must say no. It appears to be a genuine interest in the game and in others. If the individuals are anything like me (but, probably nothing like the layabouts I call my friends) then there is true excitement of when something grand is discovered and can only lead to a desire to share that item with others.
