Adults who play children from about 13 years old most of the time , their chars act like 5 year olds alot of the time.
Not all but many do.
I mean ... wtf i'm 13 and i'm mature enough myself :p
And i guess illarion is a bit like our world and 13 year olds in that time in our world wold already be training a bit with weapons in that time i think.
^^
atleast thats what i think of it , give me your oppinion ^^

I think they need to lower their character's ages, because in the middle ages most girls would have been married off at that age and probably already with at least a child of their own >_>

i've studied medieval history, the life expectancy wasn't high so they married off their daughters as soon as they were old enough to bear children, which on average is at the age of twelve or thirteen

Well, I tried having a character like that, that acted exactly as she would have had to in the middle ages, and everyone insisted on rescuing her, being horrified that at 14 she was married, so meh.

The interesting thing is that nowhere is written down, that Illarion is setted in the middle ages of the real life. I hope i am right with this statement.
That would means, that we could separate us and form our own world with own social and physical laws. We could implement new races (lizard, elf, dwarf etc.), religions and magic and other things we have not in the real life!
Wow, i hope i am not the first with ideas like that. I am a heretic now?

Also, almost anything can be explained off as the influence of fantasy elements. Magical healing could prolong lifespans, and students of magic, being most learned, might have tempered the morality of mankind with their wisdom. Or maybe girls wait until their older to marry, holding out for handsome bearded and grey wizards, because they are mad sexy.

If the children of the specific human race get married at age 14 or younger in Illarion depends on the subrace, your human character is.
The Norodaj, the Serinjah/Ama-shoon, and the Albarians would be possible subraces for a character at age 14, that is married, while for the Gynkeesh, the chances are lower, and for Salkamaerians, the chance for such a marriage is lowest.
It is likely for Norodaj and Serinjah/Ama-shoon to be marriaged to a family member, or a close clan member.

The new update is done for three months now, but sadly, Nanuk seems gone. He is neither responding to any of my PMs, nor has he read them yet.
Still waiting for him to come back.

to come back at the post's subject,i think peoples have problems to evaluate how to act when they play young characters,ive seen char of 11 years old acting like adults,i know some peoples are more mature for their age but dont exagerate.Dont take it personally but for example Taylor Windslasher dont act his 11 years old at all,if i didnt knew his age by #me i would have said 30.

I say once again, Rhiannon pwns
Mairead is great, too.
Funny thing I have noticed..
The people that play child chars that are much older than their child char seem to play them more convincingly than the people that actually *are* that age, lol.

Just wait till she hears about it!
