Loved the game so much I got copy for my son aged 11 and we explore together. Him and his sister 12 , now love exploring queensdale and other starter maps and discovering hidden caves, jumping puzzles in cities and are slowly making progress. they loved the halloween events, and running around the labrynth seeing the mad king and the cauldron on LA was hilarious.
Im happy for them to spend a short time on the game, it challenges them helps develop literacy, communication teamwork etc and in doing events yes there is taking down mobs but in a fantasy setting, even killing bandits is ok , they are “bad guys”.
When we came across the whales though and seemingly no way to rescue them, then this was upsetting. Whales aren’t fantasy or “bad”, yet we felt helpless watching them lie there helpless. Its too close to reality and they don’t like it. It bothers them. Ive watered them so much now, but no response. Can I give my kids any hope by finding out they can be rescued???
The pegi info mentions violence and language, which in a fantasy mmo I’m comfortable with, but emotional distress for my kids does trouble me.
