When you register, if you use a birthday that means that the person is under the age of 13, then it tells you, "Sorry, you must be at least 13 to play this game. However, after playing it for a week, I decided that my son would really like the game and he is only 11. I set him up an account, because I believe as his parent it is my choice to do so. However, I supervise him and I have informed him that the chat is unfiltered and anyone can pretty much say anything they want; and they do. However, you can report people for using abusive language, and I have actually reported people for using offensive words. The cussing is not what gets me, although for the most part I do not understand the need to constantly say the "F" word. My problem is with the other abusive racist comments that have been made.
One thing that I realized though, was that the chat moves so fast, and unless my son is sitting there doing nothing but staring at the chat log, he is so busy playing, that he never notices what is being said. I have not shown him how to work the chat, and have told him to talk to no-one without letting me read what is being said or what he is typing. He is more interested in taking out the mobs though than actually reading the chat.
As far as violence, It is no worse than Final Fantasy or other like video games. The characters for the females are "very well" built. However, they are not unclad or anything like that. They simply have the body that all of us "moms" wish we had, lol.
The best advice I can offer you as a parent, is to create you a character and play it for a few days, then see what you think for yourself. But be aware!!!! You might become addicted, lol.
