17?...

**Appleisaac** · 02-25-2012, 08:12 AM

Hey guys!

I heard somewhere on here that dl will be rated 17+... I already bought a name reservation which costed me 20 platinum (and there was no vanity for it

) 20 plat is a lot for me

... I am not going to lie about my age (at least I'm not planning to

) and I really want to play this game and get my money's worth out of the reservation... Plus if it's 17+ woundedeagle won't even be able to play

come on sts you guys NEED him in your games

Good point. The Name reservation thing is like a con, if you cant play the game itself after youve
reserved

**Ardon** · 02-25-2012, 08:54 AM

It's not really a con since they might not even now what to rating would be and that you still have your named reserved. So when you can play, that name will be yours.

On the Dark Legends Website, the Age restriction is 17+, therefore if a 13 year old reserves his name (without knowing of the name restriction), he has to wait 4 years? :O

Yeah

and I'm sure I'm not the only one this happend to! Name reservations were advertised (and still are advertised) in both the start up screen and the avatar screen without any mention of age requirement...

To be fair, that thread is just wants, whining and telling kids that laws are laws.

There really hasn't been any solid info on the age requirement for DL. I'd suggest just to wait until more official info comes from STS. The mobile world conference is coming up soon, so there will be undoubtedly more dl info released then. Also some sweet new phones and tablets too

Has a dev posted anywhere that the age req will be 17+ I searched but couldn't find anything?

No but I has been said by a dev that it will be more mature with lots of blood and gore.

Honestly... I'm not complaining about the age requirement being 17 (which I'm sure it will be because their website is 17+ rating...) I'm complaining that I reserved my name not having any way of knowing that I dont meet the age requirements. I'm not getting what I paid for if I can't play the game...

What your saying is different from what I said. Js.

But yeah, if I was in your shoes I'd be pretty PO'd. If it does turn out to be 17+ and you can't play, you should ask for a refund.

I hate to say this but... You're right failing to mention an age requirement IS a HUGE mistake on STS's end. How many children and teenagers have already purchased the name reservation I wonder?

But I wouldn't get too upset just yet. The darklegends website is 17+ but that does not reflect on the rating the actual game will be given.

So we must ask ourselves, what qualifies a game for a mature rating? The answer.

MATURE
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language.

We know DarkLegends has some intense blood and gore which will more likely than not qualify this game as 17+ one can only hope for strong language and sexual content given the nature of Space Time Studios current games. The violence can also be described as intense.

TEEN
Titles rated T (Teen) have content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older. Titles in this category may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language.

I doubt the blood flow in this game can be described as minimal since blood literally spatters across your screen. It contains violence as well. The website for Dark Legends maybe only 17+ because the video teaser for the game includes a pretty strong sexual theme the whole video is about blood running up a womans cleavage.

This game has not yet been rated because it has not yet been released. Will the beta have an ESRB game rating? @ devs.

I think as long as SpaceTime avoids strong language and sexual content the game may pass a teen rating which means players 13+ will be safe and that should minimalize some of the blowback for STS.

Is there such thing as 15+? that would be like a happy medium.

**Kiyoko** · 02-25-2012, 02:03 PM

I hope I'll be able to play but everyone's talking about age restriction. That's why I'm a little worried

**brodiniozo** · 02-25-2012, 02:06 PM

Make it at least 20+ imo
:-P

Didn't they say the age restrictions would depend on the market it sells at aswell? The iOS and the android store might have different regulations so sts can't say for sure what their age restrictions would be right now. If you can't play, I'm sure if you sent them a message at support, you would get your 20 back (:
