The guys from MMORPG.com attended this year's SOE block party where we walked away with a great look at SOE's upcoming made-for-kids MMO, Free Realms.

Sorry SOE, but this is about the dumbest idea I have seen so far. Do you even realize how scary the net is these days. Only absolute fools let kids play an internet game. Talk about a paradise for child predators, you are certainly creating one. I swear that Smedley has scrambled eggs for brains. |

And also because you had to look for an excuse to post something negative as it is apparantly against your nature to post anything positive about a game. Letting your kid play an online game on the internet is no more dangerous then letting them play outside. |

I let my son play MMORPG's since he was about 6. You think games are a more 'scary' place for kids to hang out than chat rooms? I always made it clear that if an ogre wearing lipstick asks you to touch him in apropriately just call me.
Always though the way guildwars delivered itself was the way to do things. |

There are quite a few mmo-like games for kids that seem to be doing well, and I can't recall too many scandals about any of them, so it's a good market to go into. Esepecially since SoE took their hardcore fanbase and told them to shove it time and time again. Can't wait till they do it to the kiddies :) |
