My 7 year old asked....

And this, ultimately, is why Star Wars can never work as an MMO. Or at least as a class-based MMO where Jedi and Sith are classes. Sorry.

By their very nature, Jedi and Sith are overpowered. They are the alpha-beings of the Star Wars universe. That is what people are wanting to play... what they've seen in the movies or other games, like the OP's son with the double jump.

But that doesn't work if they are labeled as "classes" in line with other "classes" in a game.

Star Wars Galaxies had it right when it launched... you couldn't be a Jedi. You had to unlock it through an unknown series of progression, and that added even more mystery to it... and reward, once it happened. But then, most players are pissed off because they want to play a Jedi - that's why they were playing a Star Wars game in the first place!

So as you can see, it's a loose-loose. Due to the overpowered nature of Jedi and Sith, they just don't work as classes because you can't truly give them all the powers they have without making other classes look ridiculous.

What if Lord of the Rings Online made "Wizard" a class? Yes, it may have been a more popular game! But they didn't, and for very good reason.

Well... if you force charge someone in a higher plane, you are sort of jumping high.

You must have turned all chat in WoW off...or never set foot in the cespool that was the NGE of SWG.

Nor does most of the posters on these forums, but nobody is stopping them right?

to be honest, having worked with kids for 15+ years, i dont see a problem with a 7 year old playing this game, as long as they are individually mature enough to understand what theyre doing.
And id like to add that the kids parents should be around when playing so the kid can ask questions if need be.

It's the parent's right to decide if his child can or can't play MMOs, NOT yours.

Answer : too much cartoons.

Ur not allowed to hold an account under the age of 13 btw, he cannot legaly accept the tos so you'll probably have your account locked or any related to your account.

Just so u know the ToS also state you as the parent or guardian cannot accept or open an account for anyone under the age of 13.

^this^

Your kid's gonna meet a big sith who's going to take his lunch money.

Does it not stand 16 year old age restriction on the game ? At least it does on in my country.

There are super jumps.....

force leap/charge?
