Well I will be the unpopular one here and say I am appalled at these"characters" freely roaming around with guns. Yes pirates had cannons and you shot at SHIPS and we did not see anyone walking around the kingdom with guns. One picture I saw it looked like the gun was pointed at someones head. Yes I know it was the way they were standing but still... I really thought this game was going to strive for family oriented. I have no problem with the avatars they could have come in the rooms minus the guns and still got their message across.

You are NOT alone with that sentiment! Yeah sure as kids we played cowboys and indians and had our guns and arrows.. but that never led us to actually take up guns as adults! Yet now a days there is so very much sad news of kids using guns. Columbine comes to mind the quickest. This is a very sad day in VFK to even show guns in a way that can be seen as a weapon against others. (As you said Bug, pointed at someone.) :td:

I am not for gun control, but I don't like seeing guns in a game with such young players. I think kids shooting and killing each other in video games desensitizes them to it. Playing cowboys and indians was more pretend. Video games with shooting encourages and rewards killing behavior.
Yeah, VMK had pirates, but you were shooting the ship, an inanimate object, not people, and you didn't see the actual weapon. I really found this more acceptable.
I saw the pics on one of the VFK forums of the staff with the guns pointed towards players. And one looked like they had it right at one kid's head.
Counting down the days....

Maybe the storm troopers are wandering around VFK trying to corral some horses. Well, nothing else has seemed to work. :notme:

I just wanted to mention that Bug, no one here would think you were bad for your opinion. Its great hearing what you have to say (or what anyone has to say) even if everyone here doesn't agree with it. If people nowadays could agree to disagree I think there would be less wars. :sb: Anyway you know we love ya! Hugzzzzz! :hug:
