18+ Room (Safe to click don't worry.)

Oh man

me and my LS be spending all our gil poppin bottles of sleep liquor for all the mithras

harhar

Honestly, I don't think this is a bad idea in and of itself. I think a division between content for younger and older players is something of a long-term inevitability for the genre, especially as it grows increasingly real and less and less niche.

That said.. in my opinion the genre (and possibly the internet itself) is still too immature for such a server to become anything but a cesspool of obscene language, abusive behaviour and questionable link dropping, rather than resulting in a general increase in player maturity, even were it to require proof of age. While I certainly don't condemn the idea and even think it may have half a chance of achieving something vaguely worthwhile.. I'd avoid such a server for my own part, at the present time.

Well, to be honest, I wouldn't mind more mature content. Heck, I'd even provide proof of age to SE in order to be able to access it, even if it was via a $1/month additional fee that I'd have to approve.

I'm not talking like full nudity brothels or anything like that (heck, isn't that what AoC is for anyway), but the gambling etc.. less restraints on chat, it'd be cool.

If there was an 18+ server it would instantly become the un-official RP server. Deny it your hearts content but you know it's true. Now lets all close our eyes and picture what the streets of Ul'dah would look like on said server.

Go ahead, close your eyes and picture it, I'll wait.

Yeah. Good idea, but if we go down that road, that's where it will end up.

Have you ever visited the Miner's guild? Or possibly do the first PUG class quest?

To put it bluntly this will never happen because they want the game to appeal to the masses meaning all ages old enough to understand it's content. Also remember, MMO games tend to have 2 separate rating systems with one being the "pre-programmed" content and the other being "online interactions rating" wich to a point ends up being NR because it varies so much. Now would it be nice to have such content? For sure! An age verification system and extra fee would be ideal. Sad part is, there is always a way around such systems. I guess in the end, it's up to the parent to control the type of content their children have access to.

There could be content in this area that wouldn't normally be "allowed". Things such as drinking and gambling could be added in this area. The adults of the servers can go somewhere they know they won't find a child. It would be a fun place to go and spend some time without worrying about any kiddies.

This idea started out as a joke and still kinda is one so don't freak out here. Take a deep breath and relax before posting.

The Biggest problem about making a 18 + only room is how are they going to to police it. It's like going to a porn site that says are you 18 or older click here a person who's under age and really wants to see it will still click where they need to to begin with.

anyone see the mmo i think called kabod, it's adult mmo and the higher in level you get the less close you get to take off ...u basically get naked and see the breastasises of the toon lmao. but i doubt they would add anything like that or even follow in the suggestions probably would ruin there ratings even if it's separate.

i tried to find the youtube vid of it but the one with the boobs in it got flaged and removed. lmao. also if you get hit really hard by mobs your armor breaks and pops out the boobies lmao. to funny.

I have no idea what "breastasises" are but they do sound very intriguing. I want some.

Please refer to the debate earlier in the thread about credit card age verification ;)
