Another good article in this series. Thanks for posting it.

I'd like to see MMOs offer "kidsafe servers", wherein chat is limited to standard emotes, etc., and in which there is therefore no way for kids to inadvertently divulge personal information and/or hear abusive or crude chat or whispers.

It seems like it wouldn't be that difficult for WoW, for example, to offer one or two servers that were structured restrictively like that -- rather than leaving parents to adjust a wide range or settings and enforce rules of conduct.

In fact, that's the kind of server I myself would prefer, frankly, but certainly it would be better for my kids.
