Let me just say one thing.

I\'m tired of freakin\' HUD health-bars!  How do you expect to have any realism with a bar floating of somebody\'s head!  They\'re bloody everywhere!
I want my HUD to be at least slightly \"transparent\", \"hidden\".  I do not want to see health bars, or colored mists over my target.  No.  That is done in too many other games.  Perhaps it would be convenient in large battles, but other than that, a different indicator, maybe at the bottom of the screen, would be nice.

Death to overly futuristic HUD\'s in midieval themed games.
The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

1-6 = No ability to play the game whatsoever.
7-9 = All gore cencored as well as profanity.
10-13 = Some blood effects and mild profanity.
14-ADULT = Ability to cut heads off... full profanity...


Ok... but there is nothing that prevents a person to type in a false age. Usually, everybody who encounters a window that says \"enter you birthdate\" puts in something that makes them significantly older because they prob know that there is something that they don\'t want you to see. Plus, I do not think that there should be gore/profanity. If you want that, go play by yourself. It would totally ruin the moment and make this game seem extremely immature and not serious. Maybe a little light blood, for the sake of realism, but nothing that would be so over the top. MMORPG are meant for all ppl to enjoy and it\'s pupose is to create a world where you can forget about whats going on now. Blood and profanity is totally unsesarry and not the point of the game. Ok, I think I said all I wanted...

imo i think that we should have more blood to have less a higher age rating, planeshift has enough players and it doesnt need to usual kiddy noob stuff which other games have.

You do know a higher age rating means more interest from the kiddos? PS is free to download, the only ones who could controll for the the age rating are the parents. The only effect is we get more kiddos, since lots of parents dont even look on the age ratings when they buy their kids some games in a store.

Edit: If you dont want kiddos go for a low age rating. Also if the age rating is really high, there may be additional problems like access regulation even for websites(you know like for adult content).
