It's not even just ERP. There are venues and FCs that are listed as 18+ simply because a lot of people don't want to play with children and have to worry about censoring themselves around underage players. It's just not worth the liability. I manage a small community and we're listed as 18+ not because there's any ERP but simply because we want to be able to talk about adult topics and life stuff without having to babysit anyone still in middle school.

And if you have any better ideas on what to do with the game when there's such a dearth of content besides have to make our own fun in our own little communities and play dress-up dolls in our virtual dollhouses with each other, I'd love to hear it. I'd go back through the game and do more old content on my alt except they ruined her face in Dawntrail, so I don't even want to load in and play as her anymore.
