Yes...the other day I was at the library, waiting for the kid I tutor in math to arrive. I go to look at the new DVD's they just got in which happen to be right next to the kids internet computers. I notice a RuneScape window, and I look at the little kid, feet dangling off the ground, sitting down at that computer. The kid had to be about 7...that's First-Second grade!

I always knew RuneScape was bad with little 11-year-olds, but this just takes it to the next level! Speaking of 11-year-olds, that's how old I was when I started, so I can't really get mad about that.

It's pathetic how that child's parents don't realize the game he's playing...which is completely imappropriate for a 7-year-old. They should be playing neopets.

Anyone else witness any super-young kids on rs?

The game censors everything bad it needs to, and about 20 times that. When people to try to speak "badly" in game, it's so distorted you have to already know what they're talking about to get it, and besides, most of the inappropriate stuff is said by other 9 year olds, so it doesn't matter.

Besides, how do you know he just didn't look young?

Ye, I've seen I don't know how many kids that age playing rs at my local library. Didn't think about making a post, though. Most of the ones at my library are about lvl 50.

I don't get paid enough to deal with all the spam that some people produce. Thread cleaned; don't let the nonsensical conversation clutter up the topic.

It's not too bad if things go the right way. He would actually learn some things.

Don't recommend Neopets. The addictiveness is probably the same as RS, and you only have a limited amount of things to do in a day.

imo, playing rs at age 7 is fine. Dont see much wrong with it. Heck, the kid is probably learning things he's never known before, good things too.

My sister plays, she's 7. She's a lot more mature than most girls her age, and I help her out if she needs something. I think it's good for her to play to learn how to set and achieve goals, and learn how to use a computer. I think it's good for kids her age to interact with people as well.

Isn't it a rule to be 13 to register for the forums, well to type anyways?

Also 7 and playing RS I think kids are starting to get more and more older... and a younger age if you know what I mean. It's all thanks to the internet.
