Varrock was always an easy location to return to if your lost, you had to get to Falador or wanted to test your chances in PvP. Varrock's two banks were populated with members who were selling and buying items. This was how Runescape's economy was before the Grand Exchange for those of you who joined after the addition of the Grand Exchange. You'd be drawn to the different colours of armour, weapons, and caps, and would like to know how you can obtain these items.

Then, sooner or later, you realized that being a Member provided more benefits than playing f2p. While your parents probably wouldn't allow you to pay $10-$20 per month to join but that doesn't mean you couldn't enjoy Free To Play. After some time, you'd like to go back to Lumbridge for a workout since you were just a Level 3 but you'd have no idea what to do.

You messaged your new friend, and he would rush back to see you at the waterfall. After that, you clicked on him and clicked "Follow". Within just a few minutes, you would be fighting again with cows and collecting cowhides in Lumbridge.

After some training, you will meet others Runescape players in the region. They'll spark conversations with you and share their interests, backgrounds and places of residence. These people could give you tips or even lure you into a wilderness to kill you, and then get all your inventory. It would be a heartbreaking experience as you'd have no idea what to do once you saw the messagethat read "Oh dear, you have passed away." and had returned back to Cheap Old School RuneScape Gold Lumbridge.
