Age restricted servers.

Got a great new idea for the game?

Age restricted servers.

Postby lehma18 » Tue Sep 11, 2012 7:07 am

I recently watched TB's mailbox, and he glanced upon the subject of age restricted servers. I think it is a fantastic idea, and should be added to the game ASAP.

Quoting TB: "There is no real way to moderate it, but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be there."

Moderating this without a registration system is going to be hard, but if/when we get one, it'll be worth it.

Currently you cannot. I said it in the post above.

See, what you do is insert a special .dll into the installer. What it does is send the location of the person to the FBI, then at this point the FBI goes to the person's house and verify their age, and give them the go or no go.

There is no way this could possibly go wrong.

GENIOUS.

But for real, social security number verification is a proven method. And if we get an ingame voice chat, the community can kick the under age player.

I think a plain old Whitelist system would work more. Then the server owners can decide the specifics.

Why should the FBI go to a persons house just to see if they're old enough to play a game? It's not like they're a threat to national security or anything... Unless they're a damn pedophile.

Sarcasm

Google it.

And to be honest, there's almost zero way to moderate this. Well, any sane way to moderate it. Make a whitelist server, simple as that.

As i have said in this thread, there's no 100% sure way to moderate this. But it doesn't mean it shouldn't be there, there isn't a foolproof anti-cheat system either, but every multiplayer game has one.

What it basically means, (if this ever gets added) is that the server host can add age restriction to his server, for 18+ players, 15+ players, etc.

Um... What is the point of age restriction?



Why not just add a filter for harsh language? (Shams)

If there is to be a bad language filter, there better be a way to turn it off, because I can't live without my raging and profanity D:

You can filter all you like, but it doesn't remove the problem. The problem being that most kids <15 are immature, grief, hack, are generally worse players, etc. This gives the mature player the ability to choose if they want to play with kids or not, witch attracts HC-gamers, resulting in a larger playerbase and better community.

You are the reason that sarcasm is a lost medium.
