The point of the age identifiers is to prevent a company from being held liable for inappropriate content being seen by children. It's saying "if you find this material offensive or inappropriate, and your under XX years old, then you cannot complain or hold Graal accountable, because you were never supposed to enter the server in the first place".

Attempting to make servers G-rated limits the marketing appeal of the game. Even still, servers like Valikorlia are hardly G-rated, given the content of masses and the discussions that happen. Not to mention the blood-and-guts gore of some graphics and storylines.

I'm not suggesting that somebody make GraalOnline-Second Life. But, a server geared towards the 16+ age group, meaning somewhat foul language and suggestive content, isn't a terrible idea.
