So....this game I feel would be absolutely great if you started out at say 13 years old. You could have parents sure, from the game, and they could just roleplay having some random "kid" for 13 years of they want, but any roleplay before then is essentially meaningless. People don't really define themselves till at least in their teenage years. And waiting 2 months to just reach the age of 13 (once I do get in the game) is kind of absurd.
Also, not sure how keen I am to join a game whose creator doesn't even do anything for it.
