My husband bought this game for himself. I highjacked it, along with his computer. But.. I have an 8 year old daughter, who can drop an mg from across the map. I have absolutely NO issue with her playing this game for several reasons:
1) Increased hand-eye coordination.
2) Interaction with other people.
3) Learning to work as a team for goals, as well as losing as a team when plans didn't work.
4) I know what servers she plays on, and I know the majority of players.
With that said, let me be the first to point out to anyone that the violence on this game is no worse than what she's subjected to by watching the news, movies, or reading the paper. But when she's online playing, I refuse to let her be subjected to gutter language, or provocative conversations. On eGO servers, microphone conversation is much more akin to ... I don't know.. Your typical family diner. There's always going to be some one trying to push the limits, and the rest of the diner cracks down on that person. All ages are welcome. And punks are usually ushered right out, before causing complete chaos.
You assume wrong when you "assume they don not care about what type of language their children hear", if you're basing it on whether parents allow their children to play this game. Never try to assume what a parent will do if you were to go on a blue streak around her minor child. Some may say nothing. Some may put you in your place.
Dunkles, I'm not sure how you feel that the language filter isn't enforced. You can't type a blatant cursing at the opposing team. If you let slip a stream of profanity on one of our servers, an admin WILL put you in check, if not mute you/kick you/ban you if it's a repeated offense. Not to sound rude, but I wouldn't push your luck if I were you. Our e's are held to a higher standard. That means that once you put on your tag, you are acknowledging that you read our rules to wear it. You are then expected to be a shining example of our rules, our servers, and our clan.
We are eGO. We are many. We are family. But keep in mind, we have no problem beating down our own family members like redheaded step children to keep them in line.
