Should Maple Story have a Age Cap ?

Should Maple Story have a age cap ?
Whats to young & what's to old ?

I have a family member who is 73 yrs old who plays maple story.
He doesn't talk to many people but just enjoys the game.

too young is 6 and too old is 20. old poeple should play something else that's more fun than maplestory.

It's easy to fake your age on the internet, it's not going to work unless you have to enter your Social Security Number. Then you wouldn't be able to lie about your age. Although, not many would like to give out that piece of information so the age cap thing would definitely not work.

Please learn how to subtract. 2012 - 105 = 1907. 1907 =/= 1800s

[quote=BobR]So why would you want to stop him?
There's an awful lot of people who play, who don't seem to enjoy it very much.
Who cares how old he is?[/quote]

I don't care how old he is. I help him as much as he helps me,
I have all his account info and help him with Test & some quest.
Other than that he plays the game solo.

@Hoshinoushi: It may not be the case in most situations but in video games at younger ages you feel older and you try to act like it to. Meaning they think they are big and bad in a video and pretend they own everything.

@myrdrex: you value it, but it doesn't mean you want to listen to it.

I value the insight of anyone who has seen more, prevailed through harder time, experienced more, and generally lived far more than any of us.

I'm 13 right now and I know some friends of mine that are 17ish and believe me, I'm more mature than them, and saying that, lot's of older people are immature due to over-rage, spamming, short tempered... etc.

Agreed- decades of experience and wisdom is something that should be ignored, nay, shunned! A 16 year old is far wiser than anyone having lived a full life raising a family, perhaps fighting in wars, changing careers, starting a business, burying their loved ones, etc...

There shouldn't be an age ceiling, but rather an age floor.

Though I'm well aware that MapleStory is a game for ages 10+, at least 30% of the population acts like they're 7.

Agreed- 21+

In all seriousness, who cares how old someone is, as long as they are enjoying their hobby.

It should, but kids would just lie about their age anyway.

Probably not even going to work, anyway. There's kids that really don't even need their parents permission (nice parenting, huh) and can just easily lie about their age. Plus, when you register you have to be like 13 anyway, when most of us played at around the age of eight.

14+ because i feel like thats the age where you'll know what it feels like to get hacked so u won't hack other people

I don't understand why there needs to be an age CAP. There should be an age restriction for the younger crowd if anything.

Not an age cap, but an age limit is needed.
There are so many stupid little kids in this game.

because being 15 makes you an adult and super mature

Who cares?
So long as we're all here having fun I don't see why we should prevent anyone from joining in.

yes because age=maturity.

No need to interfere and impose a age cap. Maturity is highly subjective as well. How the hell do you measure that while signing up anyways? Just leave people be.

It needs a maturity requirement.

Meh. Just as long as they arn't really a harm... I mean, that 73yr old guy wasn't shameful to say he was that age... right ? :O (unless you found out somehow) LOL

This is "A game," hence it should be played for enjoyment.

Who cares if someone age 15, 29, or even 73 plays. If they are having fun, let the continue
