Parents worried
about their kids playing way too long on World of Warcraft now have a
new tool at their disposal, as Blizzard is implementing a new set of
parental controls for their popular MMORPG.
What parents
will need to do is log into their child's WoW account, where they can
setup a parnetal control password. After this, they can begin to
set a schedule as to when their kid plays the game.
These controls
provide parents with a number of preset options that can limit their
kids play time in WoW to weekends or evenings, or have forced breaks at
regular intervals, for example. However, there is also the option
to manually set the times, and durations for which their kid can play.

Once the
parental controls have been set, they are in affect for every character
associated with that account, and can only be changed by the parent.
