I've played video games with young children before, it's usually just annoying. 

and by annoying you mean hilarious.  you don't always want to coordinate with them on your team, some are actually savvy tho, but i don't take it serious,  sometimes i remember the high pitched sqeaky voices out of nowhere and laugh.

It's a game - I really don't care how old someone is BUT as a Marshal I would like to be made aware if someone is younger than 16

i have nt seen players younger than 13 in the game although in the past i had teenage teamates but not many.

it seems that teenagers dont  prefer that game,or they leave easy cause here is a place you need patience so few young people stay

by the way oracle nice info did nt know it ,it is a good chance we the rest players learn some more things :)

i disagree that they leave because of patience, i believe they leave because of lack of true content.  i am in another game in this genre where the marshall and half the deputies are 17.  the game has much more content.  and they play without spending rl money.  it took the marshal a year to reach the highest level.  that is a certain amount of patience and dedication.  i believe content, achieving goals through the actual gameplay is the difference.

In terms of progress and such this game is more aimed at retired people than young ones, that for sure. You have to look at what other games aimed at younger players you compete vs, and Stormfall fall short. And items and things that very much walled in pay options is not content. The best "pay optiobns" in games, is the option to pay to skip (progress faster, level faster etc), not pay for items and certainly not enpowering items and options.

just to ensure that league chats etc are kept age appropriate for any "youngsters" out there :)

Why? That is not your responsiblity, That is the parrents responsibily and what they want to expose their kids for. If I'm in a league of like 50 people above the age of 30, and suddenly some younger than 16 joins. I wouldn't moderate myself from the usual day to day chat. 

I recall once in another game I played (and still do). We was sitting on teamspeak shooting the shit. Suddenly some annoying cringy woman voice interrupted and told us how awfull being we was to talk such with her child around. She was promtly told off how awfull parrent she was for allowing her "CHILD" to play the game he was. It was not like it was just guys on teamspeak at the time, there was wimen in the guild as well (and they can be just as rowdy if they want too).

You can't be too old for Stormfall, but you should be older that 13. Rules are quite simple 

i had teamates close to 65 years old ,in my previous team two mans was 62 and 60,nice experience to be with them and of course its not ussual,

so it seems you cant be too old but many different ages have been here,ussualy middle age or young people,but for me was so good to meet so many older people than me in a game, i never expected something like that :)

I think I challenged your opinion by saying surely Plarium themselves as having a responsibility, otherwise they wouldn't have the rule. In which case even Plarium don't see it as the parents sole responsibility but a shared one. 

I was being lazy and simply played devil's advocate... :)

I am not actually sure what I think an age cut off should be or even if there should be one.

On the one side there is nothing inherent about the game which means it is age inappropriate for any level.

On the flip side though in practice/reality:

- It's mainly played by adults

- partly as a result there are some very aggressive and uneducated people that play the game and write some messages that would be totally unacceptable for a child to receive (that isn't Plarium's faults but it is a real problem)

- the game is utterly cynical pay to win, children under a certain age are simply not equipped to take part in the physiological warfare that is involved in playing a micro-transactions game like this where you need an incredible amount of maturity and self control not to be dragged into spending massive amount of money (lets face it, even most of the adults look back and rue the amount they have spent).

- the game has embedded gambling in the form of the prize draws

13 is a good a cut-off as any. An argument could be put forward for 16 due to the money side of things. I honestly wouldn't expect a commercial organisation to choose to self regulate and cut-off at 16, no matter how good the moral argument - companies at this moment in time just don't operate on moral levels - expecting Plarium to be the exception is not being particularly realistic.

Parent's can't be solely responsible. You can't control everything your kids do, anywhere they might be. Equally the companies can't have perfect controls either (people will always try and get around whatever is put in place). In a responsible society it would be a mix of both. Companies do have some responsibility for what happens on their servers and in their games.

hello dj  i agree with you in my opinion its not a place for young kids and the reasons you gave is the main reasons

,it is obvious that it's nt a good place,its not improper but it's not the right one for a very young kid,the only sure is a very young kid will leave soon it is clear,soon or later will leave since it is is nt desinged for them

thats the reason most people here is adults

thanks buddy

Imho, young players is highly competive, and Stormfall is not the right arena for that.  Stormfall is more like BINGO with no real ways to win anything.

i have thought that many players in this game are elderly, who are spending their kids inheritance,  so that "those brats won't get a dime of my money".  maybe some just pass the time.  playing medieval bingo.

If you want to run a daycare center, please do, but having your members have to thread on pillows lead to no good what so ever in the long run. 

hear i agree more with jezebel.  it has been said that it takes a village to rise a child.  i look at it as input into the emergent structure, every decision is a cause that brings about an effect.  this effect goes beyond the inner circle of influence to the entire human structure.  i consider this a responsibility regardless of what other influences may be applied by others.  " the 6 year olds hear worse than that in school"  is a favorite argument.  and 6 year olds can cus like a sailor.

in other games i have had guilds that were all inclusive, which included young teens, skillers, casual players, no lifers, pvmers and pvpers,  i requested that language be kept to pg 13,  that is difficult for some players to do, but when visiting other guilds,  there were posts by supposed adults that are sexual innuendos to supposed minors.  and no one thinks twice.

some guilds make a rule that you must be at least 18 to join, then they are free to talk as they please.  or free from those annoying kids.  eventually the hardcore pvm and pvp join hardcore pvm and pvp guilds.  the casual all inclusiveness is not enough to keep them, eventually they leave.

i have had some posts where i was making a point that i figured would get censored, and oddly they weren't censored to the extent that i would have if i were a mod.

It's called courtesy - i don't care how people choose to express themselves in chat and I don't sensor them, I trust my members are adults that would refrain from inappropriate comments if they were aware that there was a "youngster" present - no it's not up to me to babysit other people's children but I was a working mother and could not always be present to monitor my son's gaming and interaction with other gamers

I also apologize to adults if I let a cuss word slip out during a conversation

Its not just about cuss words, its about mature and grown up topics as well. When I want to relax after a day of work and rl stuff, I got no particular need to have to sit restrain myself and pick what I say and how I say things. 

Lol "mature tactics".  I've seen plenty of adults who can't even figure out that you're not supposed to attack with defense units.
