You can also take them to see something cool like the wood elf city in the trees or go fishing in a lake to show them the game has other things besides just killing mobs. Buy them an ale or stout at the bar in east freeport.

Go to Neriak, to the bar that has two dark elven strippers that dance for gold.

I'd love to have all of my students in the same guild, doing ridiculous 14-person newbie raids on Crushbone, the Warrens, etc. and twitching the experience the whole time - or whatever that 'live streaming gamer cam' thing is. I doubt any of my students would have the wherewithal to actually commit to 60, but it'd be super fun to have a two-group raid of toons in the 30s to go hit some of the goofy content. Holding down Royals in Sol B, or breaking into BR in LGuk, would probably be harder for them than anything they're currently doing in gaming... haha.

Maybe.

I find my general crew of gamer-pals just can't get past the box graphics. Even the DnD circle won't give it a shot.

Ocarina of Time still gets played, perhaps for the same reason.

As noted in many posts above: if you didn't play before and don't have the nostalgia, you probably aren't playin' now. And if you're into this sort of game and didn't play before, you're probably already around or you're playing something similar so you don't need to convince them.

Inclined to agree.
