Also sorry about the wall of text.

Great story. My niece sometimes plays my account and she's not much for adventuring but the costume editor? Oooooooooh dear, it's interesting the splotches of colour she comes up with!
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
I'm impressed she knows the exhaust emote, I know very few emotes
One of the first things she did after we got out of the tutorial was look at all the emotes.

Thanks for sharing that! Had a good laugh.
Both my daughters play using my account (9 yo and 12 yo), they have their own servers for the most part. I'm a mean daddy and force them into hiding (Using "Hide" - I hide them from everything).
Sometimes when I play after they have, my "Tell" chat channel is hidden on the next character I play (who is unhidden from everything - it's been a bug for a long while now). It gets me in trouble with the friends I play with, "Are you trying to hide from me?" Heh heh.
I have to "Hide" and then "Unhide" to knock the Tell channel out of hidden mode.

Eh, I don't see that as being particularly "mean" parent-wise. If I were overseeing kids playing this game I probably wouldn't want them (depending on the kid) to play unhidden at least until 12 or 13 anyway. |

Unfortunately I've seen some cases where people have innocently claimed to be like 10 years old in chat and then get totally berated and mocked by idiots who couldn't handle the fact that those players were doing well enough playing the game regardless.

My daughter hasn't played for quite a while now but while we were teaming one time, just after her character got fly, I saw her take off inside Wentworth's and then I hear from across the room "Oh crap, it's a window." Cracked me up.
