It’s always great to read such light-hearted posts, especially when it pertains to the innocence of growth and learning. I agree that games foster thinking and analysis, all the while exercising and improving hand-eye coordination.

Like the above posters have pointed out though, it is also vital to teach mannerisms and proper decorum to your children, especially when they’re at a younger age. You do look like you’ll do a great job though! Keep playing together, growing together and having fun together. That’s what being a parent to a child is all about after all. Enjoy the journey Euphemia!

I plan on doing the same thing with my nephew when he gets older.

I’ll probably hook up my old NES though and start him on Battletoads.

Yeah, he’ll love me…

This three year old is better at jumping puzzles than many people i’ve encountered in-game.

High-five for teaching our kids jumping skillz!

She’s a lot better at it than I am.

This happened in reverse at my house. My oldest son was very patient teaching ME how to get through SAB the first time.

Adorable! Gotta share this with the team. Posted the vid on my facebook.

Just goes to show how much fun SAB can give families! Maybe it’s time for Moto to start working on a version for the household?

That’s a super idea! Maybe Moto and Princess Miya can start a family once she’s saved. Since, you know, they’re different people and all. :P Thank you for reading!

Thank you for reading and taking the time to reply, ToPoc. If she is going to grow up playing online games often, I can’t agree with you more about teaching mannerisms, etc, especially when she is able to read. Thank you, Bree and I appreciate your response.

Thank you for reading and watching! She helped her grandma play a little bit the other day. It was really interesting to watch Aubree on my PC and her grandma on Bree’s dad’s. Aubree kept saying, “Come on mamaw! Watch me! Jump up the rainbow!” so she’d do the jump and her grandma would be sitting there trying to keyboard turn to get lined up to jump, then Aubree would turn around and go back to where her grandma’s character was and show her how to do the jump again.

It’s awesome your son is patient enough to help you get through it. When I was younger, there is no way I would have helped my mother play a video game. lol. Thank you for response.

So adorable! Now I wish I had a kid, too.

But I really want to finish college first (I don’t have time or money to raise a child). And I would have to find a boyfriend/husband, too. That’s kinda important, the husband part lol

Does she have a 3DS? Or if she doesn’t, are you getting her one (or maybe a 2DS would be better for someone at her age)? Because she would probably love the Zelda OoT remake. Also, new Pokémon games are coming out next month, maybe she would like them too.

Thank you for watching! I’m fortunate enough to have a wonderful fiance who has allowed me to not work to raise our daughter and pursue my dream of owning my own horse training and riding lesson barn, so when we’re not riding, I am able to play with her in things like SAB. We do have an N64 and she’s played OoT a few times (only to ride Epona), but the controller is a little bit too big for her to really get a handle on. She plays often on my PS3, Sonic and Spyro and Crash. I have a regular DS but our dog decided to eat my charger so it’s been out of commission for awhile. That would be great for her to play Zelda on, it’s much more her size. Thank you for the suggestion! I have a Gameboy with Pokemon Red. I will see if she would like that! What a great idea! I love Pokemon, she might too!

The 3D is the problem, and that can be turned off (and locked by the parents at the 3DS Options). Other than that, there is no reason why a kid couldn’t use it. Anyway, next month, the 2DS is coming out and it was made for small children.

Well, that should put a few fears to rest. She does go outside and play too. And with animals no less.

About your post about the jerks in game. I personally think it’s good (for your daugher’s growing up education) that they are there. You can point them out and tell her to ignore them. As with most bullies, once you stop giving them attention, they will stop being jerks. And otherwise there’s this wonderful feature called the ignore list… (oh, and tell your daughter to not copy them!)

And, like your daughter, I can’t wait till SAB is a permanent addition to the game.

And people still complain that it’s “too hard!” /facepalm! As long as we play Infantile she can play all the zones by herself. If we play on normal she needs help with a lot of areas, especially in world 2.

I agree. She needs to experience both good and bad people. I am just afraid that I won’t be able to be a good enough influence to keep her from becoming a butthead. Oh well I suppose, whatever happens, happens, and YES! about the ignore list. I guess when she gets older our next “big talk” will be about trolls and why not to feed them.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. We appreciate it!

Aww, thank you Kyo. I hope they will, too. Even if not now or when they release World 3, I hope when all the content has been seen and our Super Adventures are done, they will keep it a permanent feature of the game. Thank you for reading.

Guild Wars 2 has a rating of;

ESRB: T
PEGI: 12

Perhaps a toddler should better spend its time developing socially rather than training elite gaming skills? A three year old a child literally just learned to talk properly, hand eye coordination is poor, those jumps were extremely advanced for a toddler.

Not saying you are a bad parent, but choosing Guild Wars 2 over educational toys? Odd choice.

Totally awesome video Euphemia! Thank you so much for sharing! I hope you’ll keep us up to date on your daughter in the future!

Also, don’t let all these people get you down because they feel some sick need to scold you for letting your young child play MMORPGs. I played City of Heroes/Villains (another Teen rated MMO that like GW2) and there was a incredibly popular thread called “What my Six Year Old has Learned from CoX” (X = City of Heroes and City of Villains). Sister Flame started playing at 4 1/2 years old and played the game right up until its sunset (she was 10 or 11 years old when the servers were shut down). Her dad kept the thread up to date throughout the years so the community could keep up to speed on Sister Flame. Long story short, she grew up on an MMORPG and turned out just fine.

Sadly, the thread no longer exists, as the game is no longer around. But luckily, some folks preserved the original post from the thread.

We both appreciate you taking the time to read, watch, and reply. Most common educational toys for toddlers are in some form of electronic… tablets, leapfrogs, abcmouse is a website, etc. etc. SAB, NOT Guild Wars, IS an educational tool for us. I would hate for anyone to think all we do is sit in front of the computer and play Guild Wars all day. She doesn’t care for the actual game, all she cares for is SAB. She has no interest in playing if SAB is not working. As I’ve said before, I own three horses she helps me take care of on a daily basis – we actually just returned from the barn and she’s now taking a nap. Her cousin comes over regularly and they spend time jumping on the trampoline, building with Legos, or playing pretend. We do puzzles, we color, we craft exquisite bead-jewelry, we work in her pre-school book every night before bed, usually one letter and one number a night. She is the ONLY three year old I have ever seen that can put a 100 piece puzzle together by herself in 15 minutes. I have video of that, too, if you don’t believe me. It’s much more than “training elite gaming skills” for us. I don’t really consider this any different than parents letting their 12 year old kids play Call of Duty, which is a much worse influence than Guild Wars 2, which encourages everyone to help each other. The benefit I have seen from her playing is so amazing – from color recognition from always wanting to change her character’s outfit colors, letter recognition from having to press “h” to get into her hero screen, “wasd” to move, “i” for her inventory, she’s learning how to spell “dance” from always wanting to do the emote when we achieve a hard jump, and numbers from having to press the correct button to attack an enemy or throw a bomb. I don’t doubt there are “better” or more “acceptable” ways to teach kids these things, but this keeps her attention, she has FUN (which is the most important thing to me) while she is doing it, and she is actually learning things. We use Magic the Gathering as a learning tool, also, so we are just full of oddness. When she gets older, and if she’s interested, she will play Dungeons and Dragons with us, too. I do appreciate you taking the time to reply, thank you.

I hope I’m not spoiling her brain. I honestly don’t know if she’ll be into PvP. Everyone she sees she says they are her friend. She would just run up and /hug you to death, I suppose.

Thank you Manoa. I will take a look at the link you provided after Aubree goes to bed tonight. Thank you for replying, and taking the time to read and watch her video. I have uploaded quite a few more videos of her playing. I’m sure I will be uploading more as time progresses, but my YouTube is mostly just for my personal storage of awesome videos in case anything was to ever happen to my phone or computer, I never figured she’d get a following, lol.

Look at it this way, if it was here all the time we would get tired of playing it. As it is, if they bring it out for us to play every few months it will always be a treat.

Also, we got my oldest son started on computers when he was about your daughters age. He says he remembers playing the Sesame street abc, and numbers game we had on the computer. He is now a software engineer and is doing just fine.

The thing is, you are doing things with your daughter, not having the computer and games babysit her. There is a big difference.

I want to attend college for game development, but I’m afraid there’s no way I could hack the math.

It’s not all math. If you can design a game on paper, then you might have what it takes to become a game designer. That’s basically all you need (plus there are plenty of tools to do a lot of the coding for you). Not everyone has to be a coder. Or maybe you can draw things very well, in which case the art side of game development might be more up your alley.

Piogre – My grandpa and I would play Bomberman on his NES for hours. He introduced me to Duke Nukem, QBert, and he had this really weird computer game where you are skiing down a mountain and had to avoid trees and stuff. After so long, a yeti comes and eats you. I could never figure out how to get away from it…

That would be SkiFree, and yes, it was awesome. The yeti was actually a novel mechanic- it only comes after you’ve finished the designed course- rather than just stop you there, you get to keep going down the generated terrain until it comes and eats you. Technically possible to avoid by turning on boost mode and skirting around it, but it’s designed to always catch you eventually.

And you got “schooled” by a 3 year old at SAB?

She hasn’t started playing D&D with us, yet, but I hope she will when she gets a bit older. We’re in Ohio. It’s just three of us right now, I’d love to get some more people for our group. It’s not technically D&D, it’s a game my brother actually made up himself, using aspects of D&D, Castle Ravenloft, Pathfinder, and Last Night on Earth. It’s very fun and you can create any kind of class you want. I have a healing monk that has a Gambit-fighting-style, she doesn’t do a lot of damage but she has a very high dodge. She’s mostly used for keeping aggro so the high DPS of the group can get behind and flank. I also have a Summoner, based around the FFXI job.

She takes me to school every day in this game. -.-

That would be SkiFree, and yes, it was awesome. The yeti was actually a novel mechanic- it only comes after you’ve finished the designed course- rather than just stop you there, you get to keep going down the generated terrain until it comes and eats you. Technically possible to avoid by turning on boost mode and skirting around it, but it’s designed to always catch you eventually.

Yes!! That’s it! I think I was six or seven when I played it so I really had no idea what I was doing, but that makes me feel better, thanks! lol!

I showed Aubree all of the replies on this thread. I told her that these were all people who read about her playing SAB and watched her video. I asked her if she wanted to say anything to you all. She wants to say she “wuvs” you, “fanks”, and “do they wanna play in super venture box?”

King Toad has been vanquished on normal! Hooray! She did nearly all of the Kingdom of Fungus without my help. We had a lot of deaths, but she remained vigilant in her cause.

Bree is so smart. Can’t believe a 3 yr old can do that. Does Bree not like Asuras? I think it would be so cute if Bree plays a little female Asura.

I’d love to play with her in Super Adventure Box. Maybe she can help Rhonwyn through some of the hard parts. :P (Just kidding darling)

She isn’t a fan of Asuras.. she thinks they’re ugly. lol. She likes the Norn a lot, though. I have a Norn Ranger named Aubree Swiftpaw, that’s her favorite.
