On creating a new account, Jagex will no longer stop you if your inputted age is younger than 13.

 

 

 

 

If you are under 13 years old you will be able to create an account but unable to disclose personal data through the game or website. Any personal data collected by us, which we find subsequently to be from someone under 13, will be automatically deleted. We recommend that parents / guardians set up an account and play together with their children. Many parents have reported that playing Jagex Products as a family is fun and rewarding.

 

...

 

If we are notified by a parent that their child has lied about their age when registering for Jagex Products, we will terminate the account provided we have confirmation which satisfies us that the reporting person is indeed the parent or guardian.

Older than the internet. Jagex will never willingly exclude a potentially profitable age demographic from playing their games. The huge age range in RS is one of the reasons the game is so darn popular.

doesnt matter,i mean is not like people didnt lied before ;) but now they dont have to lie so its worth it :lol:

Yea, I have to agree with Blazey. Peeps lied before, now they simply don't have to.

Now watch runescape be infested with 10 yearolds... not just people that act like it.

Wouldn't this constitute account sharing? :?

 

jagex encouraging rule breaking :shock: shocking! :shame:

whoopity doo...they would have lied anyways

I think they mean, set up an account for their child and then one for themselves. So they can sit side by side and help one another in game. Maybe I'm wrong? Wouldn't be the first time.

Don't games that feature free chat have to be given a 13+ limit? ... z0mg What if Jagex is going to remove free Chat?! :o

They already annouced they aren't.

removing free chat will just make more ppl leave. the more ppl leave the mroe $ lost. they wouldnt do this. jagex really could care less about 13 and younger players and who is playing the game. as long as they r making money it is all worth it. dont tell me they will reject little children who pay money. this thing is just there for the legal issues. everything is going to be all right. the filter does its job anyways. idk why jagex is so concerned in this issue/

I think it is funny that

When it is impossibly to get in touch with Jagex.

 

 

 

=/

 

 

 

Really though, who cares. It isn't like that age limit ever stopped anybody.....

Now Runescape can be viewed as a kids game, no longer a mature game.

 

 

 

EDIT: That was typed in a rush, I was insinuating that the game is even more geared towards younger audiences. It's like dropping a 'T' rated game down to 'E' (in fact, that's what it is.).

 

Even if people lie about their ages, Jagex should keep the age restriction, even if not for legal reasons.

...That's a bit odd. As most people already viewed it as a childs game.

I don't see how this makes any sense. Now people won't be annoyed by having to answer the question. The age limit never prevented anyone from playing anyway.

If you are under to 13, when you play, you can only use quick chat and can only see quick chat!!

Now watch runescape be infested with 10 yearolds... not just people that act like it.

 

I don't see that happening. I hardly doubt that a small sentence change in the Terms and Conditions, which most 10 year olds (and people in general) don't read anyway, will cause a huge difference one way or another.

You still have to answer the question, it's the first thing. But if you were born the same day as is the date, you'd still be able to play. There's no "You must be 13 to play this game"

 

 

 

Relax. No need to panic about "kids" invading your precious game, if they're honest.

This may not be correct, but I don't remember there being any age requirement at all when I first started playing runescape. I made my account 5 years ago when I was 11, and I'm pretty sure I entered my age correctly. So if i'm remembering correctly, the 13+ age requirement is a relatively "new" thing anyways.

Not new but not old. I don't remember when they added it but ya, it used to not matter at all.

Oh, I thought wkw was giving a suggestion, so I ignored it. I suppose case closed then... This can be locked, Unless anybody sees more discussion value
