I started having the case of suffering from nostalgia again. I didn’t play for about a few years, recently redownloaded runescape, and now I remember why I quit.

So a guy who used to be my good homie and I used to play runescape together all the time. I suspect I’m on his friends list still and I have him on my ignore list.

I quit a few years ago because we got into dumb fights. He kept on hitting on my gf and she even told him to back off. He wouldn’t stop bothering her so I told him to leave her alone. He took a swing at me, missed, hit the brick wall behind me, and broke his hand. He was toxic, jealous, and became hostile irl. He also had mental issues and I’m sure he’s legally insane.

I blocked him on everything online. I abandoned emails and made new accounts on everything except runescape. I learned that he could still stalk and harass me on RuneScape even though he was on my ignore list. This made me quit.

My gf, on the other hand, changed her number, moved to a nearby city, and abandoned her accounts too. She didn’t play runescape so she wasn’t stalked in the game.

I’ve had this account for 10 years now and am eligible for the cape. I have 10 skills that are level 99 and have kept some member items as keepsakes.

He’s still a member and is still active today. Should I keep playing this account but set every chat off and risk running into the same worlds as him or do I start over?

I just want to have fun and avoid drama. Thanks, my dudes.

Start an Ironman and then either pickup where you left off on your other account.

Ironman is a nice refreshing start over and you're able to experience all the original content you played way back when plus all the extra stuff that has been added. Also a really good way to learn and get to grips with the game.

Join a friendly clan that are happy to help with questions :D

If you do start over, using the command /wiki (Topic here) is a massive help.

As for the drama side of things, ignore list is good. I wouldn't worry yourself over it, change your name and don't let someone else bring you down! :D
