Got my son in love with RuneScape

I started playing RuneScape back in classic during typing class. I would always get home from school and immediately call my buds to get on again. I never really quit, playing non stop until the removal of wilderness. Came back with summoning, then left again with EOC, only to return again.

Long story shortened, I never lost the love for this game. Now with mobile it's so much easier to play. I introduced my son to the game last night and he asked what do I do. I told him he could do anything he wants, the world of RuneScape is at his finger tips. He was on for a few hours before mom made him get off just killing gaurds and exploring f2p. He is already in love!

Ive been waiting for him to start playing some of games I do and I can't more excited to do duos in future with my boy.

  • thanks for the gold! Don't know what it means but thanks 😁

This is pretty cool, I think it would be a lot of fun to have that experience with a son or with my father when I was a kid. My only advice is to limit his play time. When I was a kid I was addicted to this game and a couple of others. I would play for up to 8 hours a day when I could and that is my only regret from my childhood/teen years. Not saying you and your kid are like this, but I feel like I have to say this because of how much time we all spend on screens now. I still think it's super cool to have another way to spend quality time with someone you love.

Haha no I definitely spent hours on rs. Plotting out my goals to hit and my wish list. As long as his school is doing good and he isn't acting bad, I don't care if he stays up playing. I'm sure he'll learn that it's not worth it when you feel so tired the next day. He is stubborn anyways so I can really only give him suggestions haha.

But I'm super excited. Been waiting for this moment for a while.

Yep! We are doing exact same thing. So we both have lvl 7 woodcut, 8 fishing, and like 3 to attack. He is mesmerized by the world of RS so we didn't jump into a grind yet. But it was such a great experience last night. He is so excited to play again tonight. He wants to get mining next.
