The thread about children playable deleted?

[saber_alter]

context? please?

Haurchy giving you a dissapointed look requires no context.

-snip-

not much of a mind-breaker...seeing as how i've spent a good amount of my life around computers. Remember that games like second life and Mabinogi intentionally make it so you can literally do anything you want within the bounds of hardware and coding limitations. it's simply a matter of how far the devs and the playerbase are willing to take it.

if that's the direction Mabinogi's devs decided to take their game, then so be it. like you said it is impossible to completely get away from toxic elements of a community. hence why my original comment was non-serious, because this topic is non-serious (though people can and will take it seriously.)

seeing how the mods took down the last thread, it doesn't seem to be the way they want to take this game. Lore wise you could have children, and many games and anime have had the fate of a nation/planet/everything thrust upon the shoulders of some poor thirteen-year-old...i personally would rather shy away from that however.

The issue isn't really playing as children, it's that some of the outfits are fairly revealing. They cannot show children in a manner that would offend people. Sure, they could create new versions of the outfits, but that is a lot of work.

lalafell clothing mostly does this already.

edit (ran out of posts)

Indeed, it does. However, This would mean creating character models, animations, and other outfits (or refitting lala outfits to child models) . It would be a lot of work, and I think that SE just wants to avoid any backlash that might cause children to be presented in an unacceptable manner in their game. They can even explain it with lore by saying the jobs are too complex for a child to comprehend, even one as gifted as the warrior of light.

without a doubt, just felt like pointing out the obvious for no particular reason whatsoever.

creating any new race is a lot of work so why even do it at all?

Still, one new race is easier than making what is essentially several new races. I see where you are coming from Zeirnaton, but this seems like it really wouldn't be worth the effort to me.

Thank you. That was the point I was tying to make with my post, but apparently, it didn't get across.

And as an off topic to the "SE moderation is in the same vein as Nexon NA." post, there was a lot of mess going on with Nexon that had a lot more to do than just the GM's being off 1-2 days. >.>
The worst I've seen of SE that can be considered comparable to Nexon in moderation is the gold seller calls and some trolling in shout.
