How to stop immature kids from playing mmorpgs? I've done a study on this topic for a month, since my girlfriend is grouned because I was caught by her parents with my pants down in her room. So since I had nothing to do and getting drunk and high with my friends gets old i decided to study this topic. So i've played about dozens of mmorpgs with the free trial thing and other free mmorpgs or low paying MMORPGS.
The Results
FREE MMORPGS OR LOW BUDGET MMORPGS- A lot of immature kids.
REGULAR $15 DOLLARS A MONTH MMORPGS- Less immature kids, depends on mmorpg
COMPLEX GAME- Less immature kids
NON-COMPLEX GAME- Tons of immature kids
POPULAR GAME- A lot more immature kids
NON-POPULAR GAME- Less immature kids
The 3 Factors for determing how many immature kids are in the mmorpg are PRICE, DIFFICULTY, POPULARITY
Conclusion: Kids want a Free or even a low budget, easy, and popular game. The reason why is because Kids have no money, there to lazy to learn, and kids usually lilke getting popular things so they can gloat to other kids that they have that game, thus brining in more immature kids. If a mmorpg has 2 of these factors(Low budget, easy, and popular) there is a high possibilty that there will be tons of immature kids. Ex: WoW, its a popular game and its easy thus making the community immature. AO is a non-popular game at least to the kids, Complex, Free(Original Version) and if u upgrade $15 dollars, it has only 1 factor and theres not a lot of immature kids.
Solution: Its pretty much right out there. Make a game thats Complex and High Budget. Of course u want the game to be popular but if it only has 1 thing out of all the factors not a lot of immature kids are going to join the game

I came here looking for that powerleveling spammer, but...
Youl should have posted this in the Pub.
Your theory is flawed though. If kids are looking for a popular game, then what about all the mature players who play the popular game? I mean, everyone is looking for a popular game it just happens that popularity brings all sorts of different players, it does not nessisarily attract immature players.
A Work in Progress.

Other than that, you appear to be a "shoe-in" to be next years winner.

Immature kids aren't really a problem unless you're a socializer and get pissed in chat too easily. Join a guild and use ventrilo or something.
If you're whining about immature kids killing you in pvp, that's your fault, get better.
What exactly are the "immature kids" doing that's pissing you off?
Anyway, back to topic. One way of getting rid off large number of kiddies is make the monthly cost only through credit card (no game cards or PayPal). Sure, some parents dont care how they cost their kids hobbies but many do.
Or just kill the parents. That goes to both problems.

Her parents are mad religious. They still think she doeson't know what sex is. My motto is that all religious girls are freaks in bed

Easiest way to stop kids is to have a MMO license
It can be acquired the same way as a drivers license but you need it to play online, and if you are found to be a complete moron the license is revoked.
If someone uses your MMO license and you know they are the license is still revoked and its tough sh*t for you.
If someone uses your MMO license and you don't know they are the license is still revoked, learn2hideURstuff.
I agree with the OP, the more the complicated the game, the more immature the playerbase.
I have found that even Barrens chat has died down on the servers I play on. I just don't reroll on
new servers any more. I used to be bothered by immature kids (anywhere from 12-92, it is an attitude not age thing), but now I just ignore everyone and enjoy soloing WoW. I even stopped raiding because I can't stand the vent chat during raids.

How to stop kids from ruining your MMORPG:
Let them play WoW.
Shooting someone with rock salt, because you burst into your 18 year old (legally able to have sex and if you don't burst your not going to catch them with their trousers down) and find her having sex.
Oh an 18 year old having sex, BAD BAD EVIL!!!
My parents stopped coming into my room without knocking and asking first at 13.
I mean have some respect for your children.

Immature kids are the Cash crop of WoW. It's a game that is so simple a 5 year old can pick up the game mechanics in about a week. Its Full of Bright and Colorful cartoonish stuff. The questing in this game is all about collecting gear and items so people can sit in Ironforge and look "UBER LEET". Blizzard made wow for one reason to make money, and the best customers are those little brats people complain about that have their parents Credit cards pouring in the $$$$$$
Its a Childrens game
