GM Responses, Roleplay Advertising, and Party Finder - Megathread

[LianaThorne]

Online Interactions can not be rated or efficiently regulated, however everyone is conflating the issue.

The issue in the most basic terms for those who can’t deduce it on their own. Is the issues around Mordion Gaol, the GMs, and the unequal enforcement of the rules dictated in the user agreement and terms of service.

If this were the case with any other aspect of this game but RP this whole forum would be up in arms. But it’s easier to villify an entire section of the community and ostracize them then to actually discuss a greater issue. So mock, tease the RP’ers condemn them, you won’t stop them, but don’t expect them to come to your defense when this uneven enforcement of UI and TOS hits a part of the game you value.

And again, that's meant for the ESRB's protection, not for the player.

-------------------------------

I don't want to double post, so I'm adding onto here.

No one is making anyone who doesn't want to RP with 13 year olds, RP with 13 year olds. Just putting that out there. The issue is that the game is rated 13+ and you're purposefully closing off a section of the game to them and labeling it 18+. That is the issue. You cannot have 18+ sectioned off areas that engage in anything not covered by the rating in US servers. Harping that online interactions are not rated is literally irrelevant because that protection is not for the player and no matter how many times people say that, it won't change the reality. You can roleplay with 18+ people all you want, just drop the 18+ tags on the venues and allow them to be for 13+ access. That's literally it. No one is forcing anyone to rp with teenagers if they don't want to, you can literally ignore them in the venues if you want.
