Sounds like an MMO for kids. Not a bad idea, if it is well monitored for "bad" adults. There could actually be quite a bit of learning possibilities for kids, if it is done right. And they will want to do it because it is fun. But, if this company drops the ball at all, it could be very bad news for the kids.
