Let's talk about the age verification page for a moment.

RavenRoxie

How many times do I have to tell you guys that I was born on Janurary 1, 1900? ....
Why do you guys forget my birthday everyday, hell every hour?
My hands are tired, since I was infact born in 1900, guys..
So, please stop asking me to over work said hands, by putting in my birthday all the time. Thanks.

These things need to die the death of clickthrough EULAs, e-mail signature disclaimers, and other nonsense that probably won’t hold up in court.

You're 118 years old?

If you are..it..it's time to go bro... just close your eyes and let nature take its course....

Yea the age verification step is so old age verification, that controls nothing just pure annoyance.

Wow! We were born on the same day! How wild is that? Small world.



I think it remembers you until your browser clears cookies. If you don't save them for the current session, it won't remember you at all.

The stupid thing is that the age gate probably does not mean anything. Those young wippersnappers (anyone born after 1900) can put in any date they want. They can LIE about it. Of course, those born in 1900 are impeccably honest. So, other than making the kids have to do math to make themselves 18, I am not sure what good it does.

LadyLethalla

I too was born on Jan 1st 1900.
But I think it's a legal requirement to have said age gate, given the game's rating. So as annoying as it is, it's probably here to stay.

Interesting.... you see i was born 1/1/1980 thus making me significantly younger than I really am. It’s my VPN that causes me many a woe including but not limited to, also forcing me to input a verification code every time I need to check on me account.
There! One upped you old timers. Nyah!!!

RavenRoxie

Well I'll be! What a small and glorious world it is to find that we were all born on January 1, 1900! That just warms my lil old heart.

If I was in charge of that age verification thing,. I would troll people so hard... I'd keep a record of which forum ID puts in what age, and after a while switch to a system where they have to send in their actual ID to "verify their age", and then... everyone has their actual birthdate registered in their form ID and never ever needs to do that stoopid "what's your birthday" thing again... but any who -ever- put in a wrong date get banned for life!

The funny thing us, they act like the game is so "adult-oriented". Type anything on the forums a mod takes a personal dislike to, and they send you creepy little messages twisting whatever you wrote. They will tell you what they THINK you meant when you wrote it, and twist it into something while pointing to the TOS and pretending you violated them. Then they act like you offended and violated the majority of forum users, when in reality they are probably just bored and reaching for something to do.

Fun fact along those same lines. Did you know that almost ever WoW server has a character named "Bowjob" which is usually a rouge. But, if you use the name "bowjob" on a wood else in ESO, the name will be banned and forced to change? Even though, WoW is not an adult oriented game at all. "The More You Know"

Iselin

Yeah. The expiration on that cookie is extremely short. Not to mention that it's the only gaming website as far as I know that even does that.

My theory is that a staff lawyer with too much time on his hands thought that one up back in 2014 and it became corporate policy. It's always the lawyers that screw things up.

There’s something seriously wrong with you

If i had lived 118 years i'd want to leave this forsaken world too.

geng14159

Amazing how many real world vampires we have playing the game. After all, how else would we have so many 118 year old players.

Seriously, the age gate thing is really annoying, especially when it isn't working correctly.

DarcyMardin

What's really annoying is that the age verification page isn't working for me, no matter what age I put in.

Vixenator

LOL I was just complaining about this last night. I actually find myself being deterred from their page because Im tired of inputting this extra step all the time.

Zos shares their memory from the same brain that Steam uses. This brain has Alzheimers, so there's not much we can do really other than wait for scientists to come up with a cure.

I was also born on January first, but in 1999! 😉

OGLezard

Am I the only one born on September 9th, 1900? Sheesh...... I get so bored after selecting the month and day......already to much work for these old bones, they just are not what they used to be

AlienatedGoat

I just put in a random date every time.

geonsocal

that's it...you all have convinced, going forward - I'm picking a different date...

Haashhtaag

Has anyone mentioned it needs a 1 second cast time?

Also the lifetime of feeding on a mixture of espresso and human blood. You don't suppose vampirism is indicated with immortality, do you?

Mephisto939

Plot twist - I too used to be born in 1900, but I got tired of typing it in every day. I wanted to see if it mattered if I was born yesterday. Lo and behold it has remembered that ever since and won't let me view news.

KalinRan

Am I the only one that puts in their actual date every time? Every Time Every Single Time

I do. But I really figure no one believes I was born in 1947.

True. Absolutely true. I'm old. I play MMOs and CRPGs. *shrug* I'm good with that.

Neopets did that for the websites age verification and it cost many children thousands of tears when they forgot their passwords and couldn't get them back without the fake date they were forced to use to play kids games on a kids site.

Second Life had a similar happening, when they added actual age verification with the combination of teen SL and adult SL (yeah, they used to be seperate a long time ago). And a lot of people who were underage when they secretly started cybering on adult SL (that's the one with the naughty bits!), and later got of age, and then sent in their age verification... found themselves in trouble when someone at LL checked and noticed they had been visiting adult sims back when they still were... less then legally allowed.
Its... the electronic equivalent of the new bouncer at the bar spotting your faked ID as fake I guess.

But hey... you make it sound like -lying- should not have any consequences.
Honesty is a virtue!
(Or at least... one needs to be smart about it, and use lies and passwords one can remember as to not be tripped up like that! )
