The habit of a lifetime #2 (03-Dec-2007)

The Poll Orks drew a huge number of interesting titbits from the last 'The habit of a lifetime' poll, constructing a decent picture of what you all do in the opening minutes of a RuneScape session. They have a few more questions before they give their big presentation to the 'mysterious being' who wanted it, however.

Will you help the Poll Orks out by divulging what you generally do each session and what your general hopes are for the game?
