darkblade986 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 For the most part, this rule is enforced only via complaints. Jagex will not randomly check for someone's age unless there is absolute and undeniable evidence (which would be 99.9% impossible by regular means) that the child is under 13. Besides, to get the [email protected] e-mail to work to get an account deleted, you have to provide things like... *Username *Password *Recovery Questions *Other Password recovery information. So if someone was gonna try and get Zez shut down, they'd definately have to be related to him. don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iantiger Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 It's amazing how many people put their birth year into their name. We've all seen names like "Jasper91", "Fred1989" and occasionally "Betty1996". Note these are just examples, and probably not real player names. It's kind of funny how many people under 13 put their year of birth in their name like this, despite only minutes before creating their account, purposely lying about their age. IMO the no under-13's rule is in place for a reason, and people should respect that rule. Certainly some of the conversations and attitudes I've seen people have in Runescape - I wouldn't want anyone under 18 to witness those let alone anyone under 13. ~Ian Retired Tip It Moderator | Zybez Radio DJ - Listen Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkforaster Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Personally i do not think that it is neccessary. It really should be 10 and over, many children are mature, and those who are not mature will get banned anyway. So it should be lifted. Lumbridge and it's past.

das1330 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 its just to cover their a$$es so if they somehow get sued because somebody did somthing to a under-13 player they wouldnt be liable (in the us anyway, because of COPPA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbfgraphx14 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Really though, what's to say a 13 year old won't give out personal details, and a 12 year old will? Or a certain 13 year old is more mature then a 12 year old? Because it could be the other way around. But I think 13 is their best guess. It would be alot better community with everyone 13+. Jagex should make the age page "flash" when it says "are you sure you are above the age of 13?" "If not...so and so...." That would scare off some people :wink: Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AznElliot518 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Personally, I feel that if you are under 13 you should not be using the internets at all. Runescape has a "cartoonish" appearance, which often attracts young fellers aged 11-12, etc. Good day sir, how may I help you?Id like to access my bank account please.Certainly sir.

Ervin Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I'm glad the age restriction is there, this means that Jagex can introduce more mature content into the game. [Admin edit:we do not allow religious references in signatures] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuud Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 IMO i think this game should be 16 and up. Theirs alot of mean unsymathetic kids that play this game. They swear (they shouldn't be, way to young), and are too young for a game like this. They just ruin the game. Thats prolly one of the main reasons why i quit Rs, and moved on to Wow, at least theirs no angry 12 years old their yelling "g1v3 m3 fr33 st0ph pl0x" (well so far i haven't seen any). Too bad this will never happen though, but it really doesn't consern me anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some really horrible people who are like 14-16... seriously I think its just the older players (mostly guys!) that ruin the game... most of the younger players sometimes quit (i guess...) when they find that they can't handle the game.. and those that stay are usually smart enough to play the game or they get outside help from nice runescapions.

E_D_G_E_1039 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I made my account when I was 10. For them to ban me now for my age would be ridiculous. I do not understand why age should have anything to do with what one person can or cannot do. Everyone is different, and how long you have been on this earth is a terrible indicator of what kind of person someone is. Honestly, Jagex knows they will play. Their game is on Miniclip. What do they expect? Majority of Miniclip users to just not play? I mean if you hit you are below 13, and it says you cannot sign up, I'd say 95% of people would hit the back button and select an older age.

Bombing_7000 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I think Jagex will never dare to ban all underage players.. 2/4 of players that play runescape are udnerage.. so jagex will never do a foolish action.. ~BOMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon_Scyth Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I have not heard about this before, and I think it's pretty good. I mean RS is a pretty complicated game, and if you not live in britian or U.S.A you can't speak english so good that it takes to play this game. Your saying Aussie's dont speak english?

Unionhawk Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 The 13+ rule is rediculus. Tecnicly, they are not bound by COPPA true, but the reason this rule is in place, is because of content "not intended for people under 13", when little inapropriate content is used. (The only i know of is low graphics combat (no offence to JAGEX) and alcohol) Honestly I think this rule should be reduced to like 11 or something.

I can't find Draynor!!" shed shout, "Wheres that non-members fishing spot again?" "Shut up, your to young to play and I'm doing homework" I'd shout equally loud. "Mum!! Toby won't help me!!" Constantly like that, her brain wasn't big enough to take in the whole of tutorial island or remember where anything was.
