My mom is the whole reason I've started playing video/computer games. I grew up playing NES because she liked to play it too. Heck she's around the same age as the OP and still plays Neopets for crying out loud. I think she'd like this game as well. I'm 19 so I'm probably in the lower middle of the RS age scale. Witch is alright, I'd much rather hang out with the older RS players. No "Lolz n00b!" junk.
