Yup. I came out and my kids were all "The station was blown up and we had to get our pods out!" LOL
I found it cute as all get out, my son's 6 and my daughter 10, who's now flying in the corp I made just for us, and the both of them had a blanket over the coffee table and this was their "pod". Then they came out and said they were podded and had to go to their rooms to their other clones LOL.
Man, this could get pretty interesting! believe I have created monsters! Alas, this is why Eve is great tho! Imagination sparked by CCP is the greatest part of the product they've produced, giving people the ability to truly reach for the stars! To own them even.
THANK YOU CCP! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! NO I will not take your sister for payment! I'm married to one sister already! |

Seriously, exposing 6-10 yr old to a game like this wouldn't be a bad thing, except for the PEOPLE!

So you are saying that this children friendly game is the perfect recreation for families, right? Anyway, glad that your kids are enjoying the game - also out of the game. As my old maths teacher used to say: "Statistics are like bikinis: It's what they don't show that's interesting". -CCP Aporia |

If i had kids, i wouldn't expose them to EvE at such an early age. I'd find a lighter space/sci-fi genre for them to exercise their imaginations with, but definitely not EvE. |

Next thing you know they'll be scamming you to boost their weekly allowance.
Also, what happens when they start claiming SOV? Does your wife realise you lot need to put up defensive SBU's before you're kicked out into NPC null? As in do your parents know you might be moving back in till you find a way to reclaim your house? |

You didn't create monsters. EvE did. EvE always creates monsters.
Look forward to them podding the other kids at school and the teachers, or them throwing a sicky from school claiming that the teach has jump cloned to a different school so there's no one to look after them. eve-bazaar - Discount prices on ships and PLEX. Real savings to drive your ISK further. |

I bet you don't remember a thing when you were one year old.
My concern is the high-school/bro culture that is prevalent here in eve. Children are so easily impressed upon and pick up things really fast, whether they like it or not.

What I do remember from some of my earliest days was watching '80s horror movies with my dad, stuff like Friday the 13th and other stuff that would make parents of today recoil in horror. The biggest memories I took from that beyond any blood or gore was how much my dad used to laugh his arse off at it all, while eagerly explaining to me that it's just pretend and in fact is quite ridiculous.

Hmm I wonder if my Girls will do the same, I mean my 5 year old already watches me PVP and even back seat FC's me :/ Hearing a 5 year old getting excited and shouting Get the Pod! Get the Pod! is hilarious. Followed by Epic fail Dad. :( Ego Sum Mortem Incarnatum - I Am Death Incarnate |

Absolutely. I have this arguement with my wife all the time. If your kids see you're not scared of, say, Friday the 13th, then they too will look at it and laugh at how utterly ******** that movie is. I loved it! It was hilarious to watch him do the crap he did, and the overacted, stupid people he chased. Although, the newer one by I believe Rob Zombie (I could be wrong) kicked azz.
My daughter's 10. I don't get much time with my kids, I'm up nights (I simply can not sleep during dark hours, too many years doing grave yard shift) and so they simply don't get to spend much time with me. They come home from school, see I've hopped on Eve, and get to their homework so they can park it next to me (my 6 year old son is my copilot) and hope on the laptop (my 10 year old daughter). She's struggling a tiny bit through the tutorials but I told her, if you want to play, do the tutorials. I've played since 2008 off and on, I STILL hit up tutorials when I have a need to know something!
And, me starting all over again puts us on equal footing. And, in the game, I'm not "Dad". I'm "MutnantRebel". It's a time to let formality relax and pretend to be something else for a while, just as if I sat with her to a tea party. We've discussed the fact that local and other chats will be full of adult content and is to be ignored. She's only allowed to chat with that which is approved, some people just don't care about a person's age, mentally or otherwise, and let whatever fly out of their finger tips. That's fine, but she needs to understand that not all of the things in chat is appropriate for her. And, I think she does. Also, here, I can show her hard work isn't everything. Work hard to reach your goals, yes, but work SMARTLY in order to actually SEE those goals.
LOL I don't know what she's going to do when I inform her that at some point, we'll likely be a Pirate Corp LMAO. "Gasp! You mean we're going to ROB people!!???" NO I will not take your sister for payment! I'm married to one sister already! |

Imagine the faces of people when they find out they've been owned by a 12 year old FCing a 50 man fleet..
Ok, so she's not 12 yet, it just means she has 2 years to learn more about Eve and it's mechanics, before you give her the reins and unleash her onto the unsuspecting universe.

Your kids are going to grow up to be armed robbers, or Wall Sreet traders.
Armed robbers are more ethical, so making a pirate corp would be a good thing. |

Actually, it can introduce them to many good and bad things in a playful manner.

I used to play EVE with my step daughter's little girl on my lap (to hell with missing a big fight because I had to babay sit lol). Back then I was in NCdot and a lot of times we'd fly Abbadons agaisnt Goon Maelstroms. Goons would bring A Bomber Wing all the time. Very many times I'd see Bombers Decloak and see bombs appear on over view and instictivly yell "Bomb". Eventually, my step-granddaughter stopped being startled at the word.
Which is why right now there is a 3 year old girl in North Texas who dos not play EVE, but who's very first word wasn't dada or momma....it was BOMB! |

FYI: Goon Recruitment pays out a 500M isk referral bonus for each school age kid that you get to sign up for their Goon Space School Cadre. (They have stay in the Goon Space School Cadre for at least six months.)
It's how I pay to PLEX my account nowadays. Also, there's at least one charter school in Atlanta where EVE players need to watch their backs.
