ANONYMOUS poll : What is your age

[Général_Argos]

#1 http://pc.ign.com/objects/489/489024.html

As you can see, Ragnarok online is rated T for Teen.??Wich mean 13+.??Saying that a private server would be rated G is asinine.??


#2 Whats wrong with my poll???I never claimed to have done a perfect poll.??

What needs to be done is a weighted average with the hours of video game played as a cofactor.??

Wich isn't/isn't claimed to be done here.??

#3 "33" being the average gamer age???See paragraph 5 of your link Yuriohs.??Funny how there is only an article, and that the link to the real study is broken.??

With a little research from I own, I can actually reach the ESA website (those who made the gamer study):

http://www.theesa.com/facts/index.asp

Funny that they say that the gamer average age is 35 this time and not 33.??Who is missing intellectual rigor???Me, or them???Read me well and you will see that I never claimed anything, I am just questionning.

I am not certain if I should be posting my opinion on this issue of the server being "G Rated" or not. I could post it from the standpoint of being a moderator and then as a player, but again, not sure if it would be very proper to or not, or even necessary.

[Frogboy]

if the GM's want to make it a "G Rated" server, then we'd have to change a million NPC dialogues and countless other things to comply with that rating. But then we wouldn't be able to claim to be like kRO with some custom stuff added in, etc.

but still, a PG-13 rating makes sense as there is a bit of harsh language in a number of the quests that Gravity has made.

[Former-GM-Mystra]

Krimlin, stop complaining, seriously, give us a break for once!

You where banned because you made a series of small illegal actions and that one was just the final drop. Don't create threads that are meant to be used to try to yet again justify an action that had all the rights to be made.

If you want to complain your temp forum ban, please use the ticket system and don't spread this on the public eyes.

[Général_Argos]

I already complained via ticket system.??I'm not here to complain about that, I'm here to make discussions about the gamers and hero players age and the server;??the reference to 'puck yea' is just an exemple here.??Can we get back on topic?

We all know RO isn't a G-rated game. That doesn't mean the GMs can't try and force the players to act in a G-Rated manner. It's only even required during GM events, on @main, and on the public forums. It's not hard to follow.

[Général_Argos]

act like g-rated?

That would mean no werewolf event because there is murder acting etc

[azurerogue]

You're aware that those "descriptors" are simply used to clarify WHY a game receives a rating, yes? You must then also be aware that several of those descriptors can be used to describe a game rated "E" (for ages 6 and up) including "mild language" and "cartoon violence." Ironically, this would also mean Werewolf would easily fit in the "E" category so long as the players engaging in it did not constantly swear at each other.

If anything, your citations suggest that RO is at the lower end of the "T" rating spectrum, in my opinion. You haven't proved anything.

[teOx]

and yet i was banned despite never having even received a warning and only QUOTED krim's comment. then banned again when i demanded an explanation (still no swearing). banned for swearing twice when i never did such a thing lol...

server being G-Rated? thats pretty stupid honestly. the game's built in CONTENT is rated teen and you want to claim the server is G-Rated? if you are worried about kids playing thats pretty silly, its up to the parent to watch what the kids play. once again stop pretending to hate running a daycare when you clearly are trying to turn hero into one.

albus you should know you always use most severe aspects when writing descriptors and that makes RO a T game.
