Fairly standard material, but good material for the average WSJ reader who does not know or play these games…

Runescape works. My kid plays it. I didn’t even have to tell him it existed — his social network did. Now, as he moves from activity group to activity group, he finds other RS players and they trade names so they can be friends in game as well as real life. Funny thing is, we home school. I imagine that if my son was in normal school, he would have found RS on his own much earlier and would talk about it daily at lunch. ;)

Thanks!
