You want Feral Heart for xmas? Its free? In Feral Heart you can create your own wolf and lion, even using your own textures and designs if you wish. (i hear its hard) but you can choose different colors and names for each character. Multiple chars can be on one account Im in that age range (im not telling you which one O-o) But i think its suitable? There is a lot of funny people and you can make your own maps and have groups for each char if you want. There is a chat, way different from the atmosphere of The Endless Forest. Not as peaceful but it is something to do when you are bored. I personalley dont play much anymore but it can be fun. You can join roleplays and such. It is pretty much your parent's decision if you are ready for it. I would say to pace yourself. All parents hate it if kids beg for stuff it was a pretty easy download for me. Wish you luck~

Since Feral Hearts is a free game the best possible way for your parents to decide if the game is acceptable would be for them to download and try it out themselves.

Ok maybe I'll try IT. And yeah I've heard about the weirdos on FH and I just hope because I don't want much else is to let me play it. I've already tried asking once and did my research and they said:
Mom: "Well, it just seems dangerous and public..."
Dad: "THERE ARE WEIRDOS OUT THERE!!! NO!!!"
Me: *sigh* "Well I knew you would probably say no. At least I tried..."

I just really want to be a wolf and/or lion and run around with awesome graphics and awesome characters! TEF is still better than most games though.

In the main public areas, the speech content is...questionable, and unregulated. However, there are specific areas and groups you could join that are clean and stress-free for parents. I think there is a TEF map and group still around there somewhere, and if your parents are alright with The Endless Forest, hanging out in the TEF map shouldn't be a problem. It is also possible to turn off speech and block players when you notice some crude behavior and language going on.

But I would invite your parents to give you a nice long lecture on safety and what not to say and blah-blah-blah, and let them try playing for themselves. Be willing to let your parents set boundaries and whatnot. It's a really nice chat game with Lion King avatars and alot of emotes, so it can be really fun if you're with the right people

I stll play pretend.....a lot....but by myself. My friends think it's lame to do that in Jr. High. I just sit and daydream most of the time. heh >.<

And I told them that already, that you can minimize chat and block players and make your own private maps but they don'y care!!!!

EDIT: I've gotten that speech so many times from school and my parents that it's been engraved in my brain...>.<

1. If you wouldn't do it in real life, don't do it online
2. No bullying
3. no swearing, or innappropriate chat!
ect. ect. ECT.

The only other one that I've found and liked is Okami, but a nice relaxation thing would be nice, but also Adventure, but without fighting all the time like Spore or Okami, or Spyro. I'm still trying to find a child appropriate single-player game that features dragons though >.< good point Tera! -begins researching-

I got it for wii and its really cool but my sister has beem hogging the wii for Skylanders so I haven't been able to play it

OMG! I just watched the trailer to Arokia, and it looks AWESOME! Does anyone know when it comes out? And is it a download off the internet or is it a game you have to buy?

I found it is like FH like by the same person, and I know they would freak out! I'll jut find the he page and ask when it comes out. I mean I've been looking for a dragon game since I was 9. Just saying.
