I would recommend Runescape linky. It is a game that can be played in the internet browser, so it doesn't require you to download a client to play it and it can be played on almost any computer that was made after 1995. It is free to play, but if you choose to you can pay $5 a month for the members version (larger map, more quests, more items, and opens up a few more skills). It provides a wide variety of skills and options. I like to call it the "gateway MMO", because i think it gives a pretty good overview of the many MMO concepts (combat, questing, secondary skills, etc.).
However, as Echelons said, there are always those people that like to cross that certain line, by introducing suggestive themes or language that parents would rather their children not know, but Jagex, the developers, does what they can to prevent that. They have a pretty good language blocker (shows "douche bag" as "****** bag").
This is just my opinion about the game though. Check it out for yourself and you determine if it is good for your kids.
I refuse to play an MMO on a console specifically because of control. On the XBox 360 controller there are, what? 15 buttons? With those buttons you have to be able to move, attack, call upon all your skills, and open all your windows. You could handle the windows easily with a button to bring up a "viewer" and then traverse screens with the triggers. The same system could be implemented for the skills (i.e. elder scrolls). I just don't see it being very effective in fast paced combat, or PvP. It's too much to have to spasmodically press a trigger to get to your finisher when you could press a single button on the keyboard.
Note: I know almost nothing about AoC. This is just my personal opinion on porting any MMO to a console.
