The Daily Grind: Paying extra for age restrictions
One of the things we've heard over the years is the idea of age-restricted MMO servers. Now, before we get torched up one end and down the other, we know that age isn't an absolute indicator of maturity. (We've all seen enough collective guild drama across all age ranges to know better.) There are, however, some things you never have to worry about when you're dealing with adults -- like enforced bedtimes, losing your main tank or healer's account to poor report card grades, or the "AFK, mom calling me to dinner" thing. Of course, the argument can be made that you don't generally hear "afk, changing diaper" with younger players, either. The fact that groups like TOG (The Older Gamers) exist at all does indicate at least some preference for older players to play with other older players, but it's by no means a definitive thing.
As such for today's Daily Grind, we'd like to ask you what your take is on this idea? Would you be willing to pay extra to be able to play on an age-restricted server? Do you think the idea of restricting different ages to different servers is a bad idea? As a parent, would you feel better if you knew your children were playing on a server with other children, rather than potentially landing in some rather non-PC adult guild/chat channels? Or as an adult, would you feel better about that non-PC chat if you knew there was very little chance that there were impressionable young eyes around?
