wow is full of punks, if you don't want them growing up to be punks and pregnant at 13 then don't do wow, the majority of people that play mmos are lowlifes so thats why they're trying to get you to go to wow
I don't like the idea of 12 and 14 year old girls playing games like WOW or any other MMO's that don't have built in filters and additional safeguards against the terrible language used in those games. You can't protect them forever, but those games are filled with lowlifes spamming rude stuff in general chat.
Hide -n-go seek, freeze tag, marco polo (requires a swimming pool) and many more. Get them off the computer it is nothing but evil.
It's too late for many of us but not for them.
Agreed, I hate telling people how to raise their kids because I hate when people tell me how to raise mine. That being said I would recommend letting them be kids. They don't need MMO's. They need friends and sunshine lol
Runescape and Free Realms are both good games for kids, RuneScape has a built-in chat filter and limited chat with parent permission. Lot of girls play them, since there are a lot to do, not only fighting. But be careful, I agree that MMOs can be addactive for kids (and even for adults).
But, Star Trek Online is pretty tween friendly, its not a terribly difficult game but does offer some good moral stories in the gameplay just like the shows.It isn't preachy, it just leans towards tolerance. The crowd is fairly grown up too. Just watch out for the everpresent cybersexers in any game.
Just trying to think from a tween girls point of view, STO has a lot of customization and "dress up" options that I think a girl that age would like.
If I had daughters that age I think I would be comfortable with them playing STO.
Have a sense of humor, no need to get ALL MODDY ! A Simpson's quote shouldn't be worth a warning. You are lucky anyone is bothering to read this rag.
I'd say Guild Wars. The crowd is fairly mature (very few obnoxious in chat), there's not a lot of inter-player interaction if not in a guild, technically it's not difficult to operate, and given the instanced design of missions it's relatively new player friendly.
Ken Fisher - Semi retired old fart Network Administrator, now working in Network Security. I don't Forum PVP. If you feel I've attacked you, it was probably by accident. When I don't understand, I ask. Such is not intended as criticism.
I would say WoW, Guild Wars or even Runescape. WoW is very newbie friendly but to get anywhere you'll need to shell out for the game, expansions and a monthly sub times two so get ready to empty your wallet. Guild Wars is a lot more economical as you can get the game and all of the expansions in one box for about $30 and there is no monthly fee. So that would be a one time payment of $60 for both kids. Runescape can be played for free but they'll have to deal with one of the worst communities on the planet... even for a F2P game. Subbing to Runescape only costs $6 a month and solves the community issue a great deal. The difference between the F2P and the Member server's communities is like night and day. Hope this helps.

Here I go with the STO again.
