It is very safe!!! me and my little six year old brother loves it. we both have accounts and i log on with him. there are online realationships but i stay out of that and also teach my brother too. i think it is perfectly safe for paretns to let there kids that are 5+ get an account.
As a parent it annoys me greatly that there are strong distinctions between members and nonmembers. There is constant pressure to join and reminders of what you can and can't do and have. About the only thing good I can say is that it is providing a great example of unfair treatment as has happened with class or skin color. I'm sure someone will say
"lighten up", but I think it's a lousy message. But rather than ban it I have allowed my daughter to play, but have made clear that membership is out of the question. Frankly it's not a bad way to teach how the world goes sometimes!
Its a good game for kids cuz they can have fun in there. Its safe too because fantage ban someone if they say a bad word. like when u say girlfriend they only say friend! see. its sooo safe for everyone. the only thing u need there is to be a member. if u get too bored to stuff really fast u dont play this game. but there is always new things every week for everyone! fantage can give u 500 stars then i got ecoins too! which means ur kids can go and buy the membership clothes! so its fun for everyone. if ur 14 or something its going to be kinda fun for you but u just look soo small!
I love this site! I play it all the time! Kids can host and compete in fashion shows, do missions, become reporters, own homes, and more! The majority of members are really nice and easy to befriend, but I've seen people act snobbish and rude. The only problems I have with it is that you need to be a paid member to get the most out of the site, which costs $5.99 a month.
It's a very fun website, however shopping and advertising are rather overly promoted. Nothing innopropriate, but kids need to know how to watch their time on sites such as fantage.
Perfect for any one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean it!!!
This website is cool i have been on it for along time since Janurary.Great for even babies.NO ISSUES AT ALL!!!!!So if any one says that i will be mad!!
I have been on Fantage since June of 2009. It is educational, as it offers typing games and math games. It has a mostly postive attitude, though some users will try to find ways to type in bad words or have boyfriends/girlfriends. I only see this very rarely, but kids under 9 should go to less crowded servers, so it minimizes bad content. There is no way that I see that you can hack somebody's account. For parents, there is a e-mail for help or concerns. Very fun and has events often, but includes holiday events as well which may not show a positive outlook on kids with different religion. Overall, it is very fun and safe, but some users have a bad influence.
This site is great! Probably the best virtual world i have ever played, and i have played A LOT. My only concern is some people tend to date. Also, there are insecure girls who will play, and try to be bad by using words as cuss words so they can get past the filter. Just ignore them. Have fun playing! Add me there: Icey24635
I'm usually 1st or 2nd at the hall of fame for trendsetters, so thats the easiest way to see if I'm online.
Its great and they do block bad words and sex and stuff like that my brother is 8 and loves playing fantage i became a moderator on that website its so mcuh fun lots of fun and games and you can have you own party on it and it does block bad words and sex because i once tried saying it on a different account to see if it was good enough for my little brother I think if your looking for a fun website this is the best website to go to. =D
