Oh man. I was young and naive enough when I started playing RuneScape that I fell for that scam SUPER early. I didn’t have anything worth stealing, but it still felt awful.
I devoted a significant amount of time to crafting steel armor and weapons and giving them freely to new players when they spawned in, because I felt like I would take the evil done to young me and turn it into good.
Yeah, I think we all did once. It was a good life lesson though.
I had an interesting experience with RuneScape. I started my game, left the castle, crossed the bridge, turned left, and a chicken killed a guy who dropped several hundred thousand gold right in front of me.
I got the nepo baby experience.
