Cuz i dont know if i can live without playing those games!!! lol, i can live...but id really like to find a way to convince my mom to let me play cuz they are good games. Also, even though its so like unlikely to happen (i told her that already), she STILL wont let me play. :/

Put on ZoneAlarm and allow the games to access the internet just don't give it server access. Then anyone who hacks to get into your computer will then have to get past ZoneAlarm. Hackers with those skills will be trying to make themselves billionaires not trying to find out your middle name.

Life is about taking chances buddy. If your going to worry about a little thing like that which will NEVER happen, you shouldn't have even bought a computer. Even when I am doing shit where I am actually vulnerable to getting hacked unlike playing a game, it is still the last thing on my mind.

So what if i set up a server on lets say Jedi Knights 2. Is there more possibility of me gettin hacked because I am a server or not? I've got the same problem as guest except i just can't set up servers.

yes, it's one more port open. Paranoia is only so effective, eventually it becomes harmful, as we see here. Just run a firewall and etc.
