Then, Roland, you are a great parent. What I was stating was simply the inarguable fact that MOST parents aren't as vigilant as you. If my child is ready for something, she gets it. That IS real parenting. Sadly, most parents don't bother to think this way. Kudos on knowing your child's strengths and weaknesses.

This has got him into Knights castles and the middle ages, and that too is good. He spends his time out in quests, so he doesn't see any crap.....and he is a rather gifted boy with his heart in exactly the right place. Wouldnt take notice of crap or idiots anyhow. He was playing Runescape (sorta like this for kids) and that is worse by far than this game. Most of the players here are a bit more mature, with intelligent thoughtful discussions, ie this thread now.

I agree with Roland. Runescape was full of immature people who practically spent all their time trying to get curse words past the filters.

wow, its cool that little ones can play this game and still behave like an adult!
Good thing, you didn't let your kids play CS:S or any other FPS because people cuss and do bad stuff when they play those game (ie. me, cuz i can't stand people who don't know how to plan a bomb in CS) but most of the time, i'll try to be nice in CS

lol...I let my daughter play CS...but I own the server she plays on and the guys all know it's her so they mess around and let her win. She'll sit there and talk to them for hours it's cute

My own opinion - so dont take offense and I know that each child is diffrent
I have a 7 year old daughter and there is no way I would let her play in a MMO. Not because of the game play but because of the language that people use. I know she is gonna learn it eventually, but I would rather it not be from a computer. I will admit that the chat filter on this game is better than most though, so I have been temted to let her play. The closest I have let her play an on-line game is Pogo.com, and I always make sure she has the chat off. I do let her play off line games though. I am not one of those to believe that games make bad kids, and actually can help. Typing skills are more important now a days than they used to be and what better way to learn that playing something you enjoy?
