Parents & Kids Can Try the New Adventure Academy Learning MMO for Free for 30 Days - MMORPG.com News
Parents who want to provide their kids with an innovative and fun learning experience are invited to try out Adventure Academy for free for 30-days. Eligibility is simple. Enter a valid email address and the monthlong adventure begins. Adventure Academy provides research-based learning activities across a number of core subjects including Reading, Math and Science, each of which is broken into smaller objectives. But there are also robust MMO features in place as well.

If you haven't yet looked into the parental controls, you are doing yourself a disservice and promoting false information. This is one company that's actually doing it right with a suite of controls for parents to, among other things, limit chat options from zero to fully open.
The game is also 100% in compliance with COPPA - https://searchcrm.techtarget.com/definition/COPPA
In addition, they maintain a 24/7 chat monitoring staff to keep an eye on all communication between players if it is not filtered.
Lastly, parents should be monitoring all online activities of their children just as they would escort them around Disneyland.
Information is your friend, friend!

Good well thought out rebuttal...

Children are exposed to all kinds of nonsense in public situations. Especially school.
As @moshra said, there are probably a lot more threatening situations at any given school than there are here if parents take advantage of the tools available in the game AND monitor their child's activity.

Maybe they will have a section in the game explaining the function of a public forum.
You expressed your opinion, people who opposed your opinion expressed theirs. Nobody is jumping down your throat.
Quickest way to stop the discussion is to not respond again.
And yes the parental controls are wonderful. I have not found the parental controls to be lacking in any of the games he plays.
Hopefully this game does well , Love to see all types of MMO's
Great fun for everyone ^________^
Blocking people is a good lesson to teach your children Hopefully all games will have a Block feature
Or maybe they can add a Feature for Parents to turn off Chat options also
I just do not like the idea of trying to reinforce kids hanging out playing video games.Get them out of the house,dance,music,sports,jogging,swimming tons of stuff.
Also not a fan of the "sell job"oh look buy our game,it is educational for your kids.Point being,they have all day in school,time for parents to spend with their kids helping with homework,that is 75% of their day,use the other 25% to do something useful to grow your child and NOT video games.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Back in the Early 90's we had TONS of Edutainment on the PC (Educational Entertainment)
im Sure i must have learned something playing those Math blaster games
No one said anything about spending 12 hours a day playing this game
I was very pleasantly surprised just how much high quality content the game already has.
Kudos to the devs. Here, take my money.
Bring Back the Edutainment Category in Video games
