Tip: Managing your childs World of Warcraft time

Posted by Stropp on February 28, 2007

Blizzard offers a solution to parents worried that their children are spending too much time playing World of Warcraft. This solution is the Parental Control system.

Now providing that you haven’t given your progeny carte blanche with your credit card, and you are the owner of the World of Warcraft account in question, it’s pretty easy to setup. If you didn’t set up the account yourself, you may have to pry that plastic out of the reluctant grasp of your offspring and somehow convince him or her to give you the account password. I understand sodium pentathol is useful here.

 

Once you have that precious account information, you can set up a play schedule that will only allow the account to be used during the hours that you specify. This is pretty inflexible, limiting time only to the specified hours. I reckon it would be nice to allow an alternative like setting a total amount of hours per day to give more flexibility to the schedule.

More information on this feature can be found in the FAQ on Blizzards website.
