When I was a noob, I logged onto rs a few hours after the Grand Exchange was added to the game. I saw people at Lumbridge castle asking others for help with the "Grand Exchange Tutorial". Know what I did? I played along and started asking others too. I thought it was some new epic quest or something.
One day, I went to meet a friend at the Varrock west bank, and well... It looked massive compared to how it used to look. I mean, really. It was huge, and there was a path running through it. I followed the path and was overwhelmed by the lag I was experiencing the closer I got to the two hand pillars. I passed the pillars was astonished!
I'd never seen so many players in one place before. It was amazing! I thought there was another holiday event going on, so I spent ages looking for the portal. I finally found out what the Grand Exchange was, and well... It was awesome!
