as an adult player i would dearly love to see an adult only realm or two. simply because you have so many children playing....and all the realms belong to them . although i have no ideas how ki would go about accomplishing this i for one would play in it as a wow lover....this is just an idea of course so if any adults would like to comment on this i welcome your comments am i the only adult who wants their own realm

Hello i am a "teen" player and i thing that an adult only realm would be totaly useless. After all this is a "kids" game AND any player under 13 cant talk so why do you need your own realm? What is wrong with younger people playing the game with you?

I too also am an adult, and do not get me wrong, I love kids, I have a Niece and Nephew of my own. I think and adult realm would be perfect, do to the safety of the younglings. The internet is a strange and mysterious place. If we had an a adult realm (age pending) then I think the kids would be a lot safer on their realm. Their are a lot of weirdos out there. Pedophile's in particular would love to be on a Kids Realm.

I think KI should take action and provide even a more safe haven for the youngsters, so an adult only realm would be a absolute great idea.

some adults don't like to play in children realms due to the fact that many adults believe that there are a lot of pedofiles who play this sort of game and in no way do the adults want to be a part of or associated with such a problem and so would rather seperate themselves away from where children play entirely... even in the message boards you read people complaining that some adults seem to be making advances towards children, the players are told that they are moderators and should report such instances... I don't see anything wrong with adult only realms, though it may weed out the nice adults from the normal realms and seem to increase the visible number of sick abusive adults in the normal realms as the nicer ones isolate themselves away together

Wrong. This is not a "kids" game,it is a family game. I don't disagree with your point, though I suspect the game probably has more older users than kids.

i am not an adult i'm 15 and i would dearly love for their to be something like that because almost all the low levels that port to dragonspire are little kids that know very little about the game but pretend they do.

I am so glad someone pointed out that this is a "family" game. My adult son got me interested in this game and I do like it.

However, I can't see the use of an adult realm. There are plenty of games available that are mostly upper teen and older. I played EQ for several years and found as much greed and rudeness there among adults.

With patience, you will build a good list of friends who play well and are nice to be with. One of those on my list happens to only be 15. So look what I would lose if I stayed in "adult only" zones.

First of all,I really don't like the idea. If Wizard101 had adult only realms it would make me feel like i'm playing a rated A game.Well sure it's a family game, but I think all of us should enjoy the same realms. From, Melissa Greenrunner level 39 life P.S. Whoever said kids are annoying, that was really mean of you to say. It hurt my feelings. Because i'm a kid.

Let me just start by saying i am not an adult but almost a teen and I too think this is the most worst idea ever. This game was invented for KIDS! (well i guess some family too) But if you don't like all the KIDS playing on a KIDS game then to bad! KI plz don't make an adult realm plz! It is the stupidest idea ever. I think adults really shouldn't be playing anyway cause they cuss on the game, scam us kids, do bad stuff, and many more things. Anyway how could you make an adults realm cause I know a way to sneak into it if there is one.

I don't think that this topic had bad intent, but why do you want an adult world? It would just rune a positive game. I was going to say what is in an adult world, but my post got edited.

Adult only realms would be great, and it should be limited to people with open chat enabled on their accounts.

I also think that there should be a realm that only allows menu chat. It would be great for people who are only able to use menu chat because when ever I see a menu chatter, I feel as though they are left out because no one ever wants to use menu chat to talk to them.

I have actually seen and heard kids use foul words on the game, not so many adults, they find a way around the filtered chat, but you know what they are saying. Yes I am an adult and I play this game with my daughter who is 14. I do like the idea of an adult only realm but kids would find a way to get into it I am sure.

I Absolutely Agree With You! I think all players should just stay in one realm, you may lose some of your friends if that happens, so plz think about your friends, because YOU MAY LOSE THEM

As I said before I agree with you totally! :D

So, all the adults should be pushed to one side of the "room" and all the kids to the other side? What about the ADULTS like me who has both Adults and Kids as friends? If i am on adult realm with my adult friends, the kids who are on my list, and have been for over a year, can't port to me. That is one reason i disagree with an adult only realm. The other reason is having an adult only realm will just tell the scammers and predators the one place they should avoid. As it stands now, they could easily be approaching an adult that has the power and means to report them and get them banned.

"I think adults really shouldn't be playing anyway cause they cuss on the game, scam us kids, do bad stuff, and many more things."

This is largely why many people are asking for adult only realms, largely to seperate such horrible adults from children, as well as to seperate adults who do not feel comfortable playing with other people's kids or influence them in any way, and it also allows those who have any sort of pedofile record to play away from realms where kids are found.

In no way is an adult only realm meant to give adults more stuff than children or to make it so children aren't allowed to play. Adult only realms are meant to protect children from adults who may otherwise prey on children, and it protects adults who never want to be accused of ever influencing other people's children.

Such realms do not prevent adults from playing wherever they want, it just allows adults to play with adults if they so choose to do so. Sure kids could sneak into it, but I think they would find the adult only realms to be a bit more boring (kind of like sitting at the adult table during Holiday Dinners).

As to not believing adults should be playing such games, lol... who do you think created and programmed the games in the first place? Not to mention that most all adults grew up playing video games and represent a very large computer gaming crowd.

I am kid, and I find people who do that annoying.. actually I am quite a mature kid. If KI does make an adult relam, I would want to join it. BUT, if KI does do this, nothing will change.

Agree I am gonna respond again to bump this thread. For the safety of our children, and other children, an Adult only Realm, or Realms would be the best thing that ever happened to Wizard 101 IMO.

Sure kids think that us adults should not be playing a kids game? Bare in mind a group of 8 year olds DID NOT create Wizard 101. Adults with, That "Kid at Heart " feel, are the ones who created W101. A lot game developers are required a Bachleors Degree of some sort, There is not any 8 year olds that have a Bachleors degree in computers. So, yeah, adults, designed the game in the first place.

I don't like the idea of an adult-only realm, because the next request will be allowing off color language on that realm. Another headache for KI.

Already players know ways to get close to the edge, the word gaRy and the phrase 'get the flock out of here' come to mind.

On the other hand, how about a 'friends-only' realm and a 'solo' realm - For the 'friends-only' realm, you can only join a battle if you are a friend of one of the people already in the battle. For the solo realm, that is it, every battle is solo, no friend requests, you are invisible, etc. For the anti-social among us, or the ones who just want to finish something.
