Honestly, the first thing i EVER did was pickpocket a man in Lumb. I came out of tutorial island, (going back to like 2005), got annoyed i couldn't pickpocket a man, so got member about 5 minutes after logging in for the first time ever. Then the rest just went from there i guess. If i recall, i dont think i even left Lumby till about level 30. I thought RS was one city lol
