I’ve played this game for over year and know quite a bit about this game…
btw I thought you had to be 13 to have a fb acct…
Anyways YoVille have two different batch of servers one for the 18+ and ones for the under 18’s it’s gets your age by your f/b m/s acct. And the ‘Drunk’ effect changed the name to ‘dizzy’ and the drink were renamed,too. Afterwards Zynga removed the whole thing completly for no reason. It was just a bit of fun.

Yeah, there are a lot of sick people on the game esp. the events in the ‘dating’ section and are quite crowded which is kinda worrying. Plus there are many shady people and trolls out there which isn’t great such as reporting you for no reason or giving you ’smack’ talk or vulgar language. Oh yeah and asking for your MSN/Yahoo ect.

Personally, I don’t think young kids will actually like the game as much a they think. ALOT of the things cost ‘yocash’ which to get you have to buy with real money or do surveys which pretty much are a scam. In addition, if the kid uses your fb acct and arn’t computer savvy. You could lose your acct because a lot of yovillians will say that you can get rich by filling out some form which asks for your email and password then they steal your stuff and might steal your fb acct. But if they’re not bothered about buying lots of stuff and stick to their own group of RL friends than yeah I think they’ll enjoy it for a bit.

But if your kid really wants to play YoVille then I suggest that you always watch over their shoulder – you never know what could happen!

Have a nice day!

Just let the kids have a Yoville like the adults. I Angel to want a Yoville and I am ongly 9 years old. I watch my mom,aunt,bigbrother,and bigsister play on Yoville and have fun. So you should take some time out and read this do what your heart tells you to do. It’s not my choise to tell you what to do it’s your choise do what you think is best for your life and don’t let others tell you what to do. If the children want a Yoville give one to them if your heart tells you to. Bye good luck and thanks.

@ Nick

Once you are best friends things move to the bedroom. For a sneak peak of the graphic nature of these YoVillian character’s just head the character into the bathroom and click on the toilet. Hard to tell if this game is for children or adults. Somehow I suspect it attracts the immature adults and children. Either way it’s really not appropriate for anyone under the age of 16.

Okay, my daughter just signed up for this YoVille game the other day when her friend sent her the request. The reason I was checking around was to see what can take place in the game. My daughter’s friend sent a kiss through the game and that seemed somewhat innocent except it seemed to describe it in a more special way than just a peck on the cheek greeting. Then my daughter clicked on some button for dance and the other character automatically comes on with something about let’s take it slow. So since my daughter is only on the acquantence level I just wanted to know how advanced this gets once you are best friends with someone.

Anyone actually know??????

From all I’ve read it sounds like you are guarding her from the outer world pretty much. (Home school, permission for everything.) It’s… odd for person like me, living in Czech Republic. I know pretty much that school is sort of my only touch with outer world with the lifestyle I’ve chosen.

YOU are the first defense as a parent…………YOU should check out a new site FIRST………she is STILL 12 years old and not that she isn’t a very impressive one should NEVER rely on trust when it comes to the rest of the world. Call it defensive parenting 101. Just like teaching them to drive…………they may be fantastic drivers doesn’t mean they won’t get hit by someone else.

The internet is a HUGE place and still relatively new in the scheme of things. The site does require you to be 18. Many do, but you can’t really inforce that.

There are many Mom’s and Dad’s on the site that have fun playing it who do bring up their ages and we try but you can only do so much. I would recommend you check out new sites b4 approving anything. She’s going to be a teenager in the blink of an eye and BELIEVE me they need to be supervised more then than ever b4.

very nice read made even more impressive considering it was written by an obviously very intelligent 12yr old. good job emma! and good job dad for raising such a well adjusted daughter.

this is how i will be raising my son. me and my wife plan on home schooling and introducing him to computers before he can walk, hes currently 4months and has his own aspire one which right now we simply use to induce a coma like state thanks to winamp visualizations, keeps him busy for a while

we currently carry him for most of day in a sling and thanks to him watching us work he already knows the dynamics of typing, not how to type of obviously but he knows that if you press a key its represented onscreen.

id be very proud if my son turns out like yourself emma.
