"I'm reading Bhagavad-gītā whilst playing Old School RuneScape," says the aptly named Old School Monk, casually launching into hours of verses from the Hindu scriptures core to Hare Krishna teachings.
This may be the most extreme example I've ever seen of a tried-and-true MMO motto, which burns bright in OSRS: you don't quit, you only take long breaks. Old School Monk, or Ben Xi in-game, put OSRS down for 19 years, spent six of those years "living as a Hare Krishna monk" in Wales amid a surprisingly bustling scene, but inevitably came back to the MMO's timeless drip of fun and satisfaction.
