Been patiently waiting since 2005 and I havent cried DOOOM once The dev team for AoC have always been open about the game with their friday updates and the Conan Newsletter. The nipple fiasco was disturbing but not on the dev side LOL. Thx for the update! Hmmm now I need to check my email to see my beta invite ... crosses fingers |

The need for naked women doesn't sound like something a "mature" player would really require... |

Who said anything about 'needing' naked women? I simply think an adult themed game should give us the option to have naked characters. The point is, a 'mature' themed game should have the option of mature content. Otherwise there's not much point in calling it a mature game, now is there? When a mature game has no mature content it seems to me the 'mature' label has to be a marketing ploy. As an adult gamer I enjoy adult-themed stuff. I was hoping Conan would get adult gamers beyond the 'no nudity' themes of other games. Nudity should be an option in an adult-themed world - especially one set in Conan's universe. |

Just like a mature player does not require a game to play at all. It's just for fun and fantasy. Adding more skin is not about childish pornography. It is about creating a state of mind, immersion into a world of danger, violence, and lust. A world we would not normally live in. Regardless, skin is just the surface. Lets hope there is a good deal of meat behind this game! |

Originally posted by benork I think you may be missing the point Benork.
The hope is that it would elminate the majority of the imature playerbase that has appeared on the MMO scene as of late. A Mature rating for the most part should keep most parents preventing their children from playing. Anybody who has or is playing WoW knows that the community is down right brutal, not all kids are causing this of that I am sure but the majority certainly is. So we "mature" folk want boobies yes, but not for the reason most think. Keeping that game rating at a mature level is very important to a lot of us that want to experience that close community that we once shared in other MMOs. Hope that clears it up for ya. Regards

Originally posted by Beery Well then be happy because you apparently didn't hear that it's a misquote or somesuch on the US version having no nipples. The devs stated it was a mistake and that the US version will have nipples. :) So be happy. |

Nudity is not 'just' nipples. A truly 'mature' game would not have a problem with full nudity. After all, we're adults and this game is supposedly not for kids. |

Alright, I understand where you're coming from, although I don't think that just because a game is rated mature or has mature content that only mature players or 'of-age' players will be playing it. |

True, that is a possibility. Also, some adults are not exactly mature. It is sad though, that such spoilers can have such a negative impact on games like this. |
