On the subject of underage players

[ratqueen]

going to be honest, i don't think eternia has any content that won't be found in a YA novel and i empathize with teenagers who might genuinely want to either nurture their writing ability or seek an escapist refuge from an unpleasant life (or both). that said, i was also groomed on enough roleplay communities from age 12 onward to know that it's courting unpleasantries to have kids around college+ aged folk and writing about these things. romance is the singularly most used plot arc across all media, after all, and the ic / ooc barrier isn't always rigid.

i've always been in favor of keeping ppl under 18 out if they're found out to be under 18 (not actively policed + rooted out by the age gestapo).
maybe i'm biased, but i feel it would be for the best.
my opinion.
