Well for the most part, this game should have a rating of:

(Teen) have content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older. Titles in this category may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood and/or infrequent use of strong language.

and of course because this game is an MMO:
Additionally, online games that include user-generated content (e.g., chat, maps, skins) carry the notice "Game Experience May Change During Online Play" to warn consumers that content created by players of the game has not been rated by the ESRB.

You can't do much more than warn concered parents about that; and if they want perhaps implement a "time allowance" account feature where they can online log on between timeallowed - timenowallowedanymore which another big MMO recently did.

But I guess that could be another feature where parents can setup a time allowance and or just not allow children on more 'mature' content servers which is determined by the playerworld administrator or stefan`s. But then again I haven't been on a playerworld that a 13 year old couldn't take; hell most of the 13 year olds are the problem for the 'mature' content(chat) so lets get real.
