Yeah, get him to BYOND...or buy him a decent RPG and a new system to go with it. Runescape is like sewage(you shouldn't let him play in sewage by the way).

If this was me I'd keep him on Runescape rather than expose him to BYOND Anime!
Well, I haven't been able to find a Byond RPG he likes that isn't filled with typical Byonders. Sadly, Runescape generally behaves better than the typical Byond rpg.
He's been playing a bunch of SNES rpg's. Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy, etc. but I guess somebody brought up Runescape to him at school.

It's all the same, it's still the internet. I'd say let him play games like that and only slightly monitor them. However keep reminding him not to give out his address, add 40 year olds to AIM, etc...Typical parenting 101. You could shelter him from it...But that's the formula to turn him into a goth.
If he's into the RPGs, there are lots of RPGs on BYOND you can introduce him to. I know for a fact you played Stolen Lands, which lately there's been people on there on a regular basis.
If he's already playing Final Fantasy and what not, you could introduce him to Final Fantasy 5: Another World. I know it's well moderated because I'm one of the developers.
I could also suggest Dragon Warrior: Shadows of Erdrick, but you wouldn't be able to let him see the chat output. Great game, but there's no content moderation.

What? Depending on how old your son is (Assuming he is in the younger orientation), Runescape should be great for him.
Its a small little MMORPG thats a great game for the younglins.
He's nine. It's not the game itself that really concerns me, it's the player base, though I do wish there were better games for him to play. Maybe this will be incentive for me to make one of my own. :P
I used to play Runescape classic when I was about 8-9 (Back before it became 3-D).
Though if your son is into MMORPG's, thats probably the only one i'd recommend for his age. Its a very safe game that has alot of safety reminders and such to keep the player safe, and as well as provide a nicer community.
