To quote my 5 year old son...

**ecalos** · 08-12-07

Quite a sad observation really for a game/server which is great to enjoy for all ages but has the downside of being frustrating when random pking occurs for absolutely no reason.

I have even shown him how to type "lo lo" when he sees other characters to be polite and so he poses no threat, lol on a level 45 wizard with average kit.

This is following 7+ pks over the last few days, 4 today, when he was roaming around places which I would assume would be "safer" and also where he could survive with pets and enjoy using the occasional spell (obviously after I had set him up there etc). I saw at least 4 of these pks and they were for absolutely no reason whatsoever with no comment or discourse. Over powered wizard spells which don't allow for a tt or even a pot to be used before red screen.

I even said to him I don't know where we can go now because places like Bug Cave, Wt, Zt, Mines etc where he can squish some baddies but not really struggle to survive have been where he has been pked. He doesn't mind being killed by monsters (now lol he did *** at first!) as he knows he cannot kill strong ones, but doesn't really expect other chars to kill him without reason. He noticed I was quite upset and this is what he said...

"It's a very nice game Daddy but it's not very nice to play it when people kill you. Why do people do it? Why don't you just delete it Daddy?"

Says it all really doesn't it?

I wouldn't let a 5 year old play Mir, let alone this server. I'm not sure if euro mir ever got a PEGI/BBFC rating.

Exactly, I mean take me for instance...

Also imo theres way too much un-filtered swearing for young eyes. Ingame everyone is the same, no matter how old or young irl, they'll get treated the same, if that means that they will be pk'd or abused, then thats just a risk you have to take.

I for one wouldn't...
