World of Warcraft's parental control system works well. A thing to kep in mind is that on a a) kids to a certain extent want limits imposed; and b) with an automatic system set it's "out of sight, out of mind" when the gates come down. We used it in the past with our kids and they eventually conformed their behavior to where it was not needed anymore. A bigger issue is that (although you couldn't tell it from some of the previous comments in this thread) the EVE comunity is far more sophisticated and mature overall than the WoW community. I doubt that there are enough players overall in this game needing parental controls to justify spending the time for creating them, especially when so many other aspects of the game are desperately crying out to be addressed (*cough* dual-monitor capability *cough*). ____________________________________

Dual monitors 1st then parental control :P
I think that when they do implement this (as its only a matter of time before some political guy in the EU tries and wins a bit more popularity by making it into law) in a 2 fold manner. The first would be to stop the child from logging into the game completly and the second would be to allow them to log in and only be able to change their skills but nothing else. So you could for example set a complete login block from 20:00 to 8:00 but allow them to change skills only from 18:00 to 9:00. That would mean that they could still change skills but wouldn't be able to stay up till 2 in the morning to do so. It would also mean they could change skill before going to school if they had time but not to start to play thus making them late.

Yes, dual monitors first, because I have parental control (in EVE and otherwise) but not dual monitors.
You have an excellent point, though, regarding the parental controls: some politico will probably be shoving it down CCP's throat at some point whether it's needed or not, so they'd better start working on it soon . . . ____________________________________

You don't need tools to perform fundamental human actions. You DO however need dual monitors. And to answer some of the utterly idiotic questions asked earlier, Dig with your hands and tell stories with your mouth.
And am i the only kid who grew up with an intelligent father? I was brought up on interest, passion and logic. If Sith is doing so well at such a complex game, you've already won! Just teach him to apply whatever skills he's developed in EVE to real life. Ask any stock broker or economist EVE is a very useful training ground. Math not you cup of tea? Write fan-fiction, draw fan-art.
Stop trying to fight what's already been developed and WORK with it. You're an adult. Act like one.

I see no harm in allowing parents the options of setting limits on their childrens' acounts. Limits that cannot be sidestepped by the child using a different computer.
You designate one or more accounts as a parent account, and other accounts as dependent accounts. A couple of checkboxes and drop down menus, and viola! there is a profile created for the use of the dependent account. Well, I've said my piece - wait, is that Veldspar over there? Woot! |

I agree, time restriction would be nice. People get to much carried away with internet spaceships. |
