Warcraft

I dunno what is in it. Would I (me, Leslie,) find it appropriate for my 11 year old (and and then necessarily once we have it, the 9 year old)?

He wants me to acquire it. I'm leery. This is making me a mean, illogical mom who won't let him do something all of his friends are doing.

I let mine play...

Harmless, due to the graphic nature of the creeatures. In other words, they're cartoons, not human images.

ok. This is what I needed to know.

Are we talking Warcraft 1, 2, 3, or World of Warcraft?

 

[Leslie]

World of, I believe

 

[unclehobart]

Thats a mighty resource hog. I don't know your comp stats. Do you have a juicy enough setup to float that pig?

sidebar- You ever fire up Runescape anymore? I have your name in my friends database and have never seen you kicking about.

 

[paul_valaru]

also world of is a mmorpg

meaning a monthly charge

 

[HomeLAN]

Yeah, WC 1,2,3 are good, but WoW can get pricey. Any are okey-doke for that age group, IMO.

 

[Winky]

Anything that gets the kids on the comp
reading and typin' is good.

But the Monthly charge, Fook that!

 

[Leslie]

Yeah, see I did not know about the monthly charge. So that one is out now.

Unc, I haven't got on to runescape much at all since the move. I'm up and down so much lately it logs me out and it's just a pain. I'm gettin there, things are calming down now. I'll be back.

 

[MrBishop]

The first coupla Warcraft and Starcraft are very good games for your kid. Makes them think...strategy being far FAR more important than how fast you can pull the trigger-finger!

 

[Kawaii]

Guildwars is pretty similar to WoW. It doesn't have a monthly fee and also focuses heavily on teamwork and strategy rather than mindless grinding. It requires a pretty good comp to run smoothly, though.
