Age rating was increased with no reason

The age rating of my island was drastically increased for no reason. I haven’t changed any features. It’s just a simple FFA game, and other similar islands have a much lower rating.

I already contacted IARC, but they say the rating is accurate.

My project is now unavailable in several regions.

What should I do???

Can you be more specific as to what the rating was and what regions/ratings were manually affected?


IARC responded that the level of “violence” was not sufficiently disclosed, but this is an FFA game—everything is standard.

I suspect this is due to the new rating parameter assigned to my project, “online interactions,” but my island does not have any tools for user online interactions. It only features a numeric code input panel used to obtain special items or superpowers. This functionality is implemented in many other islands.

I don’t know how to prove this to IARC since appeals are reviewed by an automated system.

Does your map have voice chat/text chat and is multiplayer?

It is multiplayer and it has only Fortnite’s built-in communication features.

Thats still online interaction.

Alright, why did this affect only me and not all the other combat projects?
This is just strange.

By this logic, Fortnite itself should have the same rating.

I released an update and refreshed the survey, but the rating still hasn’t changed.
