First off, I'm going to apologize to all of those who played NS2 last weekend. If any of you played with someone named "8 year old", well, that was my little brother and sister. I know quite a few came close to kicking my little brother simply because he had a hard time understanding or doing what he was told to do. My little brother, for example, decided he likes to be the base builder/defender as marines up until Exo's. My little siblings have a hard time understanding things about the game, and so it pains me when I see them as the only Onos on the team and I know my siblings cannot play onos for anything.
My siblings enjoyed the game greatly, in fact, I was practically kicked off my computer for the entire weekend while they played ^_^, but at the same time, I'm wondering if you guys think it is possible to have kids play this game. I could barely get it through my little siblings heads that a gorge could head into combat to heal an onos. I hoped that by naming my profile 8 year old, people would understand that it was a child playing in a rookie server and to not expect much from him, but I felt when they threatened to kick him to a point they were also right. My siblings really don't understand the concept of the game even though they do enjoy playing it. Basically what I'm asking is, does the community think we can allow for kids who simply want to play to have fun instead of playing to win?
