I learned this when I was a wee lad: I was playing Runescape and trying to solve a quest I was stuck on with a walkthrough. The guide said that the macguffin was on the first floor of some building, and I must have spent hours looking on the ground floor with no luck.

I finally asked my big brother for help and he said, "Have you tried looking upstairs?" And there it was, blew my mind.

This is why the wiki now has a converter for British to American floorings

Dude, I had the same problem, but with a clue scroll! I cannot tell you how long I spent searching the bottom floor of buildings around the Ardougne square...

I became proficient at typing for Runescape.

I learned scripting from MUDs. That's really how I learned automation and why I have the job I have today.

I learned about scams and how to be weary of them from RuneScape
