My teenage sons quit WoW over the summer, and we happened to be discussing

it a few days ago. The younger one said "It isn't really the game I miss, 
it's the people. The people were cool and they got to be like friends."
The older said "Yeah, you're right. People that would do stuff for you for

no other reason other than that they were were cool and they liked you."

Maybe the interaction with other folks is what your husband is getting the

most out of?
