How do I make Old School Runescape more fun for my 9 year old niece? I'm trying to share my childhood with her and she seems bored. She just got out of tutorial island

>I'm trying to share my childhood with her and she seems bored.
The game consists of just grinding for hours.
What made the game fun was the diverse community that distracted you from how shitty the game actually is.

>She just got out of tutorial island.

Good luck with that shit, it's either grinding for materials or leveling up your combat stats from there both of which are equally tedious.

sit her on your lap and explain the game to her

Are you fucking kidding me

Let her play something that's actually engaging, she probably hates you for this cruel form of torture

It was only fun if you got into it yourself. Go buy her a 3ds or something.

Dude, RuneScape is a highly acquired taste. If she can't enjoy it on her own, she'll never learn to like it.

My niece will be the number one old school rs leaderboard member to continue my family's tradition and there is nothing any of you can do about it. If she doesn't like it oh well.

Yeah, good luck getting her to enjoy Rune crafting and Construction. Bleh.

Sorry user but the majority of good experiences could only be had during 2007, if you didn't play then you will never like OSRS

Also girls don't like Runescape.

You can't, it's a shit game. She now thinks you had a shit childhood, which you probably did if you feel the need to inflict it upon innocent younglings years later.

(You)
(You)

Why's that?

One of the strongest draws of runescape was the enormous playerbase. All those people are playing runescape 3 now.

OSRS has more players than RS3

46k playing OSRS right now
34k playing RS3

She will like it if she wants to eat anything besides meat and vegetables

you think you're funny but you are not

Not trying to be funny but what would a master comedian such as yourself see as true humor?

Because back in 2007 everyone was a gullible 12 year old and the ways you could absolutely get screwed be someone offered valuable life lessons on surviving in a free market society.

Now it's a bunch of neckbeards obsessing over the exp waste meme

Yeah good luck with players that are literally already 1.5b exp ahead of her. Nice try tho fampai.

RuneScape was a product of its time and place.

Trying to force kids to play it today is dumb.

this

What do you mean by that?

It means cut yourself you little freak.

>tfw 07 Runescape was a perfect microcosm of the free market in action, and it was wildly successful
>tfw Jagex destroyed such a beautiful experiment in one fell swoop
>tfw introducing the GE and regulated pricing was yet another demonstration of how socialism doesn't work and will never work

Wander around, show her some combat, cooking, fishing, treat it kinda like ironman mode, where you go and get stuff for yourself, some silly quests, n stuff.

>GE
>Bad

The alternatives to the Grand Exchange was, sitting in Varrock bank typing your message like an idiot, or hoping someone woudn't show disconnected in the trading post

GE removed that interpersonal feeling when it came to trade.

Trying to haggle with the jew selling the only rune scimmy in the entire bank was an experience.

Trading in the "old days" was never fun. I never understood this "personal experience" people always talk about when all that happened was you hoping the asshole didn't swap out a rune platebody with an iron platebody.

>hoping the asshole didn't swap out a rune platebody with an iron platebody

If this ever happened to you you deserved to get scammed

For many people, getting shafted on Runeescape was their first lesson of being cautious of other people's motives.
