Comments on: MMORPGs/Online Gaming as Social Networks http://librarygarden.net/2006/10/04/mmorpgsonline-gaming-as-social-networks/ An ongoing conversation among librarians with differing perspectives (public, academic, school, consortial, youth) but one shared goal: ensuring the health and relevance of libraries. [insert your own gardening metaphor here] Fri, 17 May 2013 18:44:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Anonymous http://librarygarden.net/2006/10/04/mmorpgsonline-gaming-as-social-networks/#comment-1681 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 18:08:00 +0000 http://librarygarden.wordpress.com/2006/10/04/mmorpgsonline-gaming-as-social-networks/#comment-1681 but dontcha know, MMORPGs are a very popular thing in libraries right now. Teens, Tweens, and Adults can be found playing them on the library computers. At my former library, we had a problem of kids skipping school in order to log more hours (since we did not have a truanc policy policy).

Totally about libraries ;)

I also just have to ask: did you watch the South Park episode about WoW?
