I don't agree that there should be an option to turn it off. I believe it should be implemented, and used by everyone.
It's a hard thing to implement because although Graal is intended for youngsters, the majority of people who develop and script or do whatever are older players, and they may get pissed and head to a more age-friendly game if everything gets dumbed down for children at some point.

If I was a parent, I probably wouldn't let my kid play Graal, or I would play at the same time and only go on playerworlds with nice people. Not like Era or NPulse, but maybe GK. You can spend hours killing beach crabs to level up a newb on there without seeing anyone.

How does this make any sense to you?

Right now there is no way of checking to see if an account was registered through use of COPPA, or any real checks of whether or not someone is old enough. I know there are plenty of Classic Players who have lied about being over 12 (so 13 or older) to accept COPPA agreements, and have freely admitted they're under 13. However, your suggestion is that Graal Online should cater to these liars that have already broken Graal's Code of Conduct?

I don't see how Graal Online's Code of Conduct can possibly stand to protect them if they've violated it. Once they've violated it, all protection should be out the window.

Instead of catering to younger kids who shouldn't be playing the game to begin with based on the COPPA Agreement(Honestly Unixmad and Stefan, how many COPPA Forms have you gotten from parents? 2? 3?) how about we weed these issues out first? Worry about protecting the legit younger crowd once we're sure they belong here.

Also, why not allow the censor to be enabled or disabled Moonie? No one is going to force you to disable yours. No one will force kids to disable theirs.
