Carson Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 isn't it against the law for websites to allow under 13s without parental permission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 It is all about Coppa regulations...its just some legal stuff that Jagex have to comply with. De_Pk - Level 117 - Banned September 30th '06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pati Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 10 year old creates a new account: he clicks create new account he choses 12 and under and hit submit sees that he has to be older goes back and picks between 13 and 17 what did the age indicator do? slow the 10 year old down by 5 sec. Computers will never be above humans because we made them.That's what monkeys used to say about us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacoola Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Lol, thats True. Jagex are Just doing it to safeguard themselves from possible legal action, in accordance with the COPPA acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazardmaster Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Like dacoola said, they are just obeying COPPA regulations. But it's really not doing anything. The underaged person could just select an older age. Their only real hope that they don't lie about their age is if that person is really stupid or really law-abiding to not put an older age.

ssxisfun Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 we figured out the answer to the topic: kids 12 or under can't play cause older ppl think we'll act like noobs and be dumb. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weasel10 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 we figured out the answer to the topic: kids 12 or under can't play cause older ppl think we'll act like noobs and be dumb. :roll: No. It actually happens. In my opinion only about 20% of 12- year olds are actualy seriouse about the game. These players are seriouse about the game and want to play it. They are natural gamers meaning they catch up to the game basics fast and become really good with getting around and basic stuff at around level 10-20. Where other are hanging around in 2-3 main towns and lvl up on nooby monsters like guards and goblins. There for they get bored of the game MUCH faster and entertain themselves with begging/annoying/scamming/hacking/macroing and other things. So Jagex been bugged about it for a long time and finaly they'v put up this button. Like "Here. We are doing something Mkay? Now get off our backs" My VideoScape Blog Yes it is on video.

I know few people who under 13 and are nice people too but we don't know for sure how many 12 year olds play this game. :? My VideoScape Blog Yes it is on video.
