Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I thought I'd start here.
I've been an EQ fan since 1999. I started playing P1999 off and on a few years ago. Recently with everything going on IRL I found myself playing a lot more recently. I have young kids that watch me play and are interested in playing with me.
I'd told them that they can perhaps play when they are older, but I feel kinda bad when they play their MineCraft while I play EQ next to them and they want to play.
A few concerns I have: - I know boxing is not allowed, and I can petition for these accounts to bypass the IP restriction, but I'm sort of paranoid that since my kids are young elementary and not proficient w/ reading and writing that someone might think I'm boxing them
- Since the children are young, I'm also worried about them not necessarily following the P99 rules and possibly getting banned. And would they ban my account as well if they are linked?
- If I did create accounts for them, would it make sense to have them linked to my forum account or create a forum account for each? I'd prefer linking them to mine (over-protective dad worried about stranger danger)
What do you all think? I'm sure they'd enjoy the game. |
I did the same thing years ago. Mine are 13 and 16 now. I also had the same concerns re: the perception of boxing.
I applied for the exemptions and noted my concern and their ages in the application. I also mentioned that they would have no chat enabled, but that I would always be playing with them when they played.
The response was, essentially, that their level progress should match their abilities and that I should circle back with staff if they ever got past the mid-20s. I think they made level 14 or so before they got bored and quit.
