Just thought this was funny...
There's a long, long thread about one in particular, "What my 6 year old has learned from COH" down in general.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

Nice work from the 5yr old, I must say.

I got home today and my 5 year old had logged into mine and my wifes accounts. He was on my toon and had set hers to follow. LOL. He said, "Look daddy, i got her on follow and we're going to a mission".
Sorry, just thought it was funny. Anyone else's kids play?

A five year old Haxxor!!
Oh, you had shared your log-in codes? In that case, yeah, that is cute.
My own kids, however, have not played as much as Dear Old Dad. The game with all of its nuances is pretty complex, actually. But as you have shown, it is possible to take the game at whatever level you enjoy and, dare I say it, enjoy it. As ZI mentioned, there is a thread in the General section about a six year old who mostly enjoyed swimming in the small lake near Atlas Park and had a grand time doing it. She went on to author a pretty cool arc as well.
It is great there was such enjoyment for your child.
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
What's funny is that when I first read your "I got home today and my 5 year old had logged into mine and my wifes accounts" sentence I assumed I was going to read that he had managed to delete your characters or some-such.
I suppose the fact that he actually was effectively playing and "boting" your characters only shows that kids today are going to be more tech-savvy than us old people ever dreamt we could be.

The next time someone posts, "I can't get a character on my other account to follow me.", I'm going to tell them that a five-year-old can do it and link them here.

lol, my daughter started running around Atlas Park with our toons when she was 3, now at 5, she can create her own toon, name it, do outbreak without batting an eye, get on a team and do missions without anyone being the wiser. I have to tell them she is 5 and wont be chatting, but that she knows what to do...
She absolutely loves "the super hero game" as she calls it. And wants to play everyday.
Thats cute knowing there are other kiddos out there doing the same.
The future of Paragon is safe!
Yeah, i made sure to tell him to NEVER click on the RED delete tab. lol.
We have different log-ins but the same password so all he had to do was memorize the log-ins.
He has created toons on EVERY empty slot on EVERY server. lol. I have to delete some here and there when i want an alt. He'll get on teams, but dont go to the missions, lol. But i guess that's what blind inviters get, heh.

ROFL hells yes that what they get for blind invites. Tell your son I am stealing what he does when he gets blind invites.
My two kids have their own toons on my account but they are 4 and 7 years old, I won't allow them to play the game until they are much older, they do however enjoy making characters and running around the tutorial under my supervision.
I do however look forward to the day when they start playing the game, are stuck on a team fighting a strong opponent and they go like "Hold on team, we're gonna call our dad, he's a super lvl 50 and can solo AVs and pylons, he'll kick it's a$$ for us" and hopefully the whole team will be like "wow, your dads so cool" and yes, I have totally spent waaaaay too much time thinking about this.
