What can we learn in Runescape?

Good article from Bluebrisingr in R!Informer about real life skills we may learn in Runescape. In my opinion, Runescape is not the best option to learn anything - after all it is just a game. But it may help with certain social aspects. It provides a relatively "safe" environment for communication with other people and allows children to hone their leadership skills. I remember reading somewhere that about 20% of children who play in MMORPGs tried to be a clan leader in one of the games at least once and that's quite a number.
