Effective immediately, Lusternia is implementing a policy that all
players must be 13 years of age or older in order to play. Any
characters identified as belonging to players under this minimum age
requirement will be deleted.


Would the Admin's acctually look the other way? I mean, if its going to have the possibility of legal complications, they'd need a waiver to cover their own butts

Unless you were born after October 17th, 1992, you are safe in terms of age. As for the policy, I believe it's going to be IRE wide, but that is for the higher ups to answer.

You are too old to play. You are the oldest link - goodbye.
Ialie2005-10-18 01:16:22

So I guess everyone is wondering why. Its all so sudden. Why now?

Why not now?

Well... April of 2000... Its about five and a half years late... Prolly took em this long to decide that a MUD like IRE's games qualify as something covered under that policy...

You're a kid Ialie, I turn 36 in December.

And it really doesn't do to speculate on it. It's just a good idea. Most people who place pen and paper RPGs usually don't start until they are teenagers. I think it would be rare for a 10 year old to have the maturity Lusternia is looking for.
Unknown2005-10-18 01:21:44
Honestly, if any of you are 12 or 11, but are such established players (like Wuylinfe), there is such thing as absence of truth - not a lie, simply not saying HI I'M 12 DELETE ME.
Unknown2005-10-18 01:22:33
Older then 13 isn't really that old. I'm 20 myself, I think I started Online RPG's when I was 12ish

Could've sworn you said you were older when we met in Achaea. *eye*
Richter2005-10-18 01:23:27
How many of our players are 12 and under? 1%

And I guess that means I get deleted. *wave*
Unknown2005-10-18 01:30:10
I was only kidding! *wail* I am much more sophistehcated than a 12 year old.
Richter2005-10-18 01:34:04
I dunno, you spelled sophisticated wrong... *chin*
Unknown2005-10-18 01:36:28
Oh? Says who? Why can't I spell sophisticated with a 'teh'? Are there rules? Is that what society says I should do? How do you spell sophisticated? Does the majority of the population agree with it? Is it only because the dictionary 'told' you that's how it spelled? Huh? HUH?!

Okay back on topic... yeah... I have to say that people who are 12 and under usually don't have the capacity to adapt to a world like this one. You all remember how you were when you were 12, right? tongue.gif
Alger2005-10-18 01:36:48
Oh no I didnt make the age cut! That means Terenas and Daevos are underage too though.
Richter2005-10-18 01:38:22
Yeah, I remember. I was a bloody idiot when I was 12.
Unknown2005-10-18 01:40:04
Don't ask me why I posted that.

I'm curious to know why this was suddenly put in, though...

Maybe it's just because Lusternia has a lot of "mature themes and subject matter that may upset some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised." closedeyes.gif
