So, why isn't this a thing yet?

And you can't complain about teenagers in combat. Alphinauds gotten his ass tossed about a couple times in the story, even for a book mage he can hold his own.

I dunno about children as playable characters, but if we ever get legit personal housing, I could see being able to hire children from various races to take care of things like managing your garden when you're gone or something.

And he's also an NPC. There's a difference between PC and NPC.

This.

People don't realize that children being IN games isn't a problem. It's making them playable that is. You can't dress Rydia or Alphie up in slutty clothes and start roleplaying them as sex workers. Something that WOULD happen if children became playable.

I think.. your mind is much worse then the OP's and those of the threads. Please seek help.

Seriously, if you think of a child in video game and your mind immediately goes to that... *THAT* is the issue here. They are also not children, they are not even human. Who cares?

I am starting to wonder about some people.

Wow... it's irrational, personal attacks like these that really make the forums shine. Crawl back to your cave/bridge.

FYI, I didn't accuse the OP or anyone in this thread of intending to abuse the idea of playable children in this way. But it WOULD happen, and that's a good enough reason to not even allow the possibility.


EDIT: By the way, accusing someone who exposes a problem of committing that same action is disgusting, despicable, and repulsive, not to mention irrational and moronic.

That would be like accusing someone who wants to ban/strictly control guns because they are used in murders of being a murderer themselves.

It's not that it will happen, it's that it can. Anyway, I find it incredibly stupid to picture multiple kids being the hero (and insulting to storyline characters playing the antagonist role... hell, even protagonists). I feel it's better to leave them as NPC's only and leave the heroic/stressful work to the adults (this including 18 year old teenagers).

By your logic. We should ban violence. It will never happen if we ban violence.

Also, the first thing you came up with... "was that" can you really blame me?

Not really, a teenager being a hero sounds pretty cool. It is actually quite popular for many books.

I don't want to play anything under 10. However I would love to have a character who is a teenager.

Stating what some people WOULD do in this day and age isn't cause to "seek help". Maybe no one in this thread would, but some people, somewhere, would start doing things along those disgusting lines. Ignoring the elephant in the room doesn't make it go away, in a matter of speaking. Sure the OP (hopefully) was just innocently thinking it was adorable and nothing more, but then there is the.... questionable side of the world....

The people who are afraid of it are empowering it. Hysteria and Fear breeds curiosity. Try instead of thinking of the bad things - think of the good things, as a roleplayer I can think of numerous situations where this can help (LEGIT) role-players.

In Star Wars Galaxies, you could mold and create child-like characters if you wanted. Due to how complex the character creation was however they never got any flak for it. That was because it was an option, it wasn't an intended effect, some people most likely DID do bad with it, and did do things like slavery and did things with it. If people "do" do that with them, that is not SEs fault, that is the players. SE cannot be blamed for it, the heroes were intended for a different reason. Unlike games where its intended for you to be the bad guy and kill people. That is why in games like Skyrim you cannot hurt children, but those games also lack teenagers.

Online Interactions are not rated, nore can they ever be.

In the future, please refrain from ever starting a post with "by your logic", because you are clearly incapable of following logic or creating accurate analogies.

Violence in media is not illegal. Children (and the depiction of children) in sexual situations is.

There is no part of the story, any at all. I have done it all, where your character is put in a "sexual" situation. So this isn't an issue. If people "role-play" it, know that role-playing is not a feature of the game. It has nothing to do with the story and it is "not" supported, at all. It is an afterthought. SE cannot be flaked for something that is not a feature of the game. It is a byproduct of players, not SE.

Now, if SE had role-playing as a feature to the game. As in - it was something they developed content for and supported and moderated. That would be an entirely different issue. However, then it would have no story to it at all.

There is no player made content to this game. It is a story-driven MMO.
