Orphan adoption

I'm 100% sure YoshiP has brought this up before and said that due to laws (In Japan in particular) about protecting children online and the presence of ERP, they dont plan to add an adoption system into the game.
Reference to a Live Letter back in the first few months of HW (cant remember which though)

Just because playable Lalafell are adults does not mean people do not RP them as children unfortunately. Not to sound like an elitist, but as a RP'er, I've left Free Companies where that was allowed just because I don't care for the drama that will inevitably arise when either that RP'er is revealed to have been ERP'ing on their child-character, OR, they're more the attention-seeking sort who go around making huge firestorms when someone solicits them for ERP. Yeah, its great to know who to avoid and all, but most RP'ers I've met in that situation just like the attention from being a, 'Victim.'

Cool, we can have Goku parenting skills.

On top of the erp thing, adopting kids from a orphanage so that they can just kind of be furniture in your house would probably be seen as tasteless in Japan given the country's current issue with throwing kids in institutions http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/...271732632.html

we could have orphan mother day event like other mmo does

The Doll festival is the 'Children's day' of Japan that was implemented into XI and XIV. While it's the day meant to celebrate girls while a couple days later boys are celebrated, they just went with having one event only for both.

I'm sure you're against Cars, sharp objects, large bodies of water, heights, and monsters. All of which can harm children.

This is a really poor reason to be against it. How many people would actually do this, and how likely are you to EVER be exposed to them doing it?

It wouldn't be hard to be exposed to it when people already do nasty stuff with their lala in cities.
Plus, are you really trying to compare thing that can harm a child with pedophiles? Wtf.

As someone who used to mod several chats and forums, you might be surprised at how common it is. Exposure, on the other hand, you're probably right, but I wouldn't put it past a few people.

I've seen some freaky stuff.

I should've gone for the extra-duty brain bleach after I stopped modding.
