I highly doubt it would ever be rated T
We're treated like children on there, and that game was designed so a 5-year old could play it. If it was ever rated T then it would be for teens only, the little lads wouldnt be able to play it.

If it was PG-13 it would be for 13 and above, and again, the little lads wouldnt be able to play.

hmmm

Ok,.. I would have to agree,.. Certain aspects are more of a T for Teen…
and I know this comment isn't going to go well...but... here goes (as I brace myself for quick side to side dodging…)

The Cutoff Fancy Vest for the Ladies ought to go!.....

(Ducks from thrown daggers)

Look,.. it shows to much,.. my 9 year old boy looks intently at that
Like he’s seeing,…well,.. what it’s showing,.. the whole top half Gang …lol…

I just think that one could be altered a little,.. even a few inches up…?



Man,..let the hate mail roll from this one!.... haha.

I agree...should be T for Teens...sometimes I think at least 16!!

- Some of the clothing is quite ummm...too revealing
- Public chat and private chats tend to get tainted shall we say??
- Killing people and creatures....not so much for kids (my opinion)
- Saloons, Grog and gambling.....
- What's that characters name right outside the Unfaithful Bride checking her nails? She looks like shes waiting for a crisp 50 dollar bill!!

These are my main concerns...could have more.....but it's too early for me to operate my brain to full capacity on a Saturday morning....after a long work week.

I have to agree with Chris on the most part. There are many suggestive themes in the game that are not that appropriate for younger children. These include......

But then again, you have to remember, not only Disney is a FAMILY company, in which they believe everyone should be able to play the game, but they are also a COMPANY. Cutting off the children ages 12 and under, which make up large percentage of the players online, would greatly effect Disney's income, and in these hard economic times, they can't take that risk.

Perhaps having another server set for those under the age limit would be the solution. They can also apply a different set of rules and options. I'm not discriminating age in any shape or form. I'm looking out for the best interests of the younger crowd.

If parents let their children watch R-rated movies I think a Teen game will be ok.
From what I've seen most parents don't care what their children see. That's just my experience but even if pirates did become Teen I think most of the players would still play.

And Disney tries to aim towards the families. I don't think they're going to make it teen.
