Can someone tell me how this is 17+?

[Noobified]

If they want to enforce the age restriction, they should have some sort of age verification system or require a credit card to play. In the end, I don't think STS cares who plays as long as they put the maturity rating and relieve themselves of any liability that would result from under-aged kids playing.

?!?!

Forgetting a single letter totally makes the sentence illegible right? I fixed the minor typo for your understanding.

How many of you all have seen the movie "MegaMind"? If you have you should be able to remember when he says "It's all about presentation!" That is literally it. They don't care if people under age over age or whatever, they put it up there because it looks good. So to speak. There are certain things in video games which different markets require higher age restrictions on. In order to appease these people they gotta put 17/18+

How is it enforced? It's not. It's there because it looks good there. It satisfies the parents, it satisfies the app store. (or market or what have you)

little kids can have nightmare and are so easily to do anything that captures their attention

STS does not establish age limits. They have to enforce them, but they do not establish them. Age limits are established by the ESRB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterta...e_Rating_Board).

So discussing it here is utterly pointless... I mean... if you think you'll change anything by arguing about it.

The age limit is there to cover sts. It is then down to the parents to enforce this if they choose too(lime most games tbh) Pretty simple really..

Children have less nightmares if you teach them that devils and demons are not real.

Why its 17+? Theres only one answer. Vampire woman in the cyber goth pants.

Lol, so true.

A bunch of the female underwear and top pieces are revealing. The chat is unrestricted. Also one of the maps I believe the monsters curse at you.

I heard that too! I thought my ears were playing tricks on me. Did that monster just say ****?!

All I notice is blood. Theres nothing really bad about that. Plus, I don't think adults like vampires, this should be aiming for more of a 13/10+

I won't bother going over the places where the content necessitates 17+ rating, others have covered that very well. I do want to say though that I liked vampires, far better vampires than "Sparkle-light" noobs, long ago. I'm 43, my wife is 40 and we've both enjoyed stories such as Brom Stokers Dracula (with Gary Oldman, Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder - 'I have crossed...oceans of time to find you.'), "Interview With The Vampire" (first story in series about the vampire Lestat), the Laurell K. Hamilton books, etc. Kids may think they invented vampires but they haven't even scratched...bit?...the surface...vein.

+1 Snakespeare - thank you.

Haha, but it's only visible on your own screen in DL unfortunately

[thecrankybearsam]

I'm actually not very young, and it should'nt be ANY of your concern. Lets just ditch the age thing now, ok?

[Blaquehaaart]

All mmos should be rated 17+ they are all filled with homophobic, racist, and sexist hate speech. It's a inherent part of every mmo.

Making an mmo suitable for children is like making porn suitable for children. It won't happen.
