Online Game Addiction (Runescape)?

Question by Fyn: Online Game Addiction (Runescape)?
My best friend is addicted to a online game called “Runescape”.
He stays on Runescape all day and doesn’t get off.
Do you have any suggestions on how to break his addiction? It is not healthy to stay on a game this long. He barely sleeps, or eats. And, all he can talk about is that game. How can I break his addiction?

How can I break his addiction? Remember he is only a 3rd grader. He has been playing, and he hasn’t gotten bored of it. I do not want him to be addicted to another game.
