i am not sure fizzer wants the 13+ rule but there are laws that say if you have to give personal information out then you must be 13+... i don't know much about the law but it is something like that

Bring up the competiton gargamel! :) i feel like there are joining some excellent brains warlight in the next weeks ;)

I really wish the 13+ restriction didn't have to exist. However, I live in the US, and unfortunately the US has extremely strict regulations on this kind of thing.

In order to allow a child under 13 to legally make an account, WarLight would have to become certified by the government. I've heard this is an extremely difficult process, and can cost over $100,000 and has on-going regulations and complications. Unfortunately, it's really just not an option.

This is a very common problem for any websites made in the US. Even Google's GMail can't be legally used by minors. If you search, you'll find tons of stories of kids getting their GMail accounts permanently deleted just because they filled out a birthdate field. Example: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/V594OUj2pYM%5B1-25-false%5D

I can understand that the lawmakers feel like they're "protecting" the children, but the cost of getting a website certified for minors is so prohibitive that all they're doing is effectively cutting them off from the majority of the internet.

However, I believe it is okay for them to play single-player without making an account. Unfortunately that's the best that can be done.

they dont have to use their real names. if so i have misunderstood, cause my name isnt bananashake in real. i promise, no kidding! so how will the government know that they are playing?

someoen may report the abuse and the site might be punished if it is proved that fizzer promoted it. if they join the site lying on their age fizzer may not eb accounted as responsible.

does not change the law :/

arent you demanding 2 much from us? as far as im cocnerned there would eb no laws as such, but am i able to brign it to presence?

if i understand right, the law is that if you have to give personal information to the site, its minimum 13 years old, right? but as far as i know, you dont have to give personal information to the game, do you?

e-mail, and you may end up by giving more in the chat. law says infants are stupid (which they actually are, but not necessarily in the way law assumes them to be)

Fizzer doesn't investigate every account. If you join while under 13, he won't know unless you shout your mouth off about it.

but by law he has to discourage it or else he is "at fault"... i think that it is a load of bull but not my call
