The safety features of each game will also be rated in the following ways (but please keep in mind that adult supervision is always needed when kids are online, even with the strictest of safety standards):
- Loaded- the game has implemented the highest standards of online gameplay safety.
- Mediocre- the game has some safety features but they are not necessarily very effective.
- Dismal- the game is a free-for-all in regards in online interaction. Vulgar and offensive language/behavior may be seen.
Make gaming a family activity- you may find yourself enjoying these games too! Work through the levels together. Play in PvP mode together. Even if you are not really into gaming, getting involved in gameplay with them can not only be a really cool way to bond but by playing with them you can be the most effective guardian of what they are being exposed to online. Try it- you may just find yourself becoming a gamer too!
Keep in mind the games for this age bracket and the rules that are usually implemented in them are going to be a bit more lax than the games included in the first guide to free MMOs for kids. The games in Guide 1 are not just intended or limited to the youngest of gamers- many of them are extremely fun and offer plenty of challenge for kids of all ages and adults alike. All you have to do is view photos taken at any gaming convention, comic book convention, or Sci-Fi/Fantasy convention to know that role playing is for everyone- for all ages! And if you want added the insurance of letting your kids play games with tougher safety features, then you may want to check out the Guide to Free MMOs For Kids: Ages 6 to "Tween" * Up!
