To the original poster -

That's a super cute story and it made me very happy.

I'm not a father but my answer might go something like this - "Well, in the movies and shows, those Jedi and Sith have been training a super long time. This is a new Sith, he hasn't learned everything yet."

Sith Warriors and Jedi Knights get to jump super far, and I think both Jedi Consulars and Sith Inquisitors get an ability where they jump pretty far and scatter a group of enemies, so it wouldn't even really be lying to him or setting up false expectations!

lulwut.

You come onto the official forums of a T rated game and tell them that a 7 year old is playing your account.

So how much trouble will bioware get into if they let this go now knowing what they know?

If I was you I would expect to get your account banned.

Sith story ffs yer laugh with your seven year old child as you shock vette and dress her as a slave girl.

What is wrong with you?

Go play dora the explorer game with her.

I don't allow my 12 year old to play this game, but he watches me at times playing it and more than once asked if my Jedi/Sith stops being so utterly weak at any point

Guess Force Unleashed isn't healthy Star Wars education.

This. Good points, but I thought game ratings were a reference for the parents. Is it really illegal to be underage?

ROFLOL. TFU2 has more gore than this game ever will. You let your 12 year old cut heads off but not this? Strange.

Ratings have nothing to do with who can legally play the game, it's for purchasing and discretionary purposes only.

That being said the TOR ToS states a person under the age of 13 cannot have their own accounts. It, however, makes no mention of children playing an account registered to their parents, and as such has no obligation to ban the account for playing the game.

Posting on the forums is another matter entirely, but I don't think any sane parent would let their 7 year old children anywhere near these forums with the kind of stuff going on in here. :P
Computer specs

If somebody was standing on a street corner screaming "This town sucks, I'm moving!" you'd think he was crazy, right? I quit threads are the same thing.

Then the person I quoted kinda failed to understand this.

BioWare doesn't care and why should they?

Why do parents allow thier young children to play video games in the first place? Shouldn't they children be reading, or playing outside? Or do parents count video games as an interactive babysitter?
