| Security concerns: | The game inherently immerses players self-identified as over the age of 12 years in free-form, real-time chat via a variety of in-game mechanisms. The game publisher also provides web-based forums outside of the game where all players may post free-form text, which may be viewed by anyone, including non-players, with a web browser. Additionally, all players may purchase optional in-game elements using a credit card or similar payment method associated with the player's account. Although the game publisher prohibits using its game for illegal purposes as part of the terms of service, it can only provide special protection mechanisms for players who self-identify their age as 12 years or under. |
