It sucks that it had to come to this, but I agree with everyone else who has already said that this needed to be done. If this doesn't knock some sense into people I don't know what will.
Kind of bummed out though... I only found FeralHeart like a week ago (at the most) and I was really starting to enjoy RP'ing as my character Atticus. :c Oh well. I can live without it for a week. Time to see if I can get ImpressiveWorld installed~
I do have to say though, if we want to make this game more family-friendly then chat filters will have to be put in and those dances replaced. And how exactly will this age verification/parental permissions thing work? For example, I'm 21. Will I have to provide some sort of proof that I really am over 18 in order to play the game? What about minors who choose to register with fake birthdates to claim that they're over 18 when they aren't?
*Also-- For those who asked earlier in the thread about whether or not their siblings/friends/whoevers who aren't 13 yet can still play the game: My understanding of it is no, they can't. It's a legal liability for the site and those who run it-- It is in fact against the law for website hosts to allow kids under thirteen to play videogames where they interact with other users and chat with other people because of the risks that come with that sort of thing. (Then again, I could be wrong-- I don't know if this law is universal, and I'm not a lawyer, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. )feral heart gave me a virus and i couldnt play it till like five months so all of the players shouldnt play you people or you need to stop trying to take money from people without asking for LEGAL TENDER! this is a child BTW!!!!!!
... You do realize that FH is
completely free, right? And nobody's asking for money at all? Also I highly doubt FH gave you a virus. I haven't gotten one and neither has anyone else I know who plays it. Maybe you should chill out or something. I mean, if you've got absolute proof that it was FH that gave you the virus, and that it was this mystical FH virus that ~*tried to hack into your parents account*~, then maybe you should actually take it up with the folks who run the game instead of, you know, capslock-raging all over the forums in an unrelated thread. :V Just some advice.
