• • Parents: Which would you rather see in a game..

    I think, "kill x mobs" satisfies a goal of a quest and rescues a village from wolves, bad guys, etc.

    "Cyber with x players" is a little harder to sell as advancing a storyline.

    With violence, there is a certain level of tolerance and I think it is easier to explain video game violence as it is pretty straight forward.

     

    How about killing other humans? chopping their heads off?

     

    I can see why most people in here would think so, but I do not agree that society should accept violence as a form of fictional entertainment and not sex.

     

    Obviously when it comes to kids they will have an easier time understanding the ways of solving conflicts in WoW (talk to the person, do the person a favour or force the person, usually by killing her/him) than they would understanding a quest to convince the king to give you a new sword by giving him a BJ.

     

    But for audiences 18+ i do not understand why a WoWish game that would center around running around doing sexual favours is any less defendable on a moral basis than running around chopping their heads of.

     

    Saying "but the bandits are EVIL" is about as much an excuse as saying "but your character ENJOYS giving head".

     

    Being somewhat liberal on the issue I would say that both are fine for audiences 18+ and that it would be up to the parents to decide what their kids (up to the age of 18) are allowed to play.

    I guarantee you this game will be under 100k subs in 6 months or less.

     

    I could have told you that during closed beta a couple of months ago. I mostly got so fed up with this piece of crap I didn't even bother bashing it that much. MOstly to my friends and anyone hyping it up elsewhere.

• • Besides the content removed what does this say about the game?

  • Saying they cut 2/3rds of the RvR is just pure BS.

     

    The capital cities were planned to be PvE content after an RvR conquest had been achieved. Instead they add content to the capitol still in, hopefully RvR content to what used to be a PvE part of the game (since it seems people didn't like the idea of a PvE focused city fight).

     

    With cutting the capitals themselves they cut a very small portion of the RvR.

     

    Now you can argue(and some have) that the cut changes alot of the promised dynamic of the RvR (weak side focus on a different front to access capital content). That is something I can agree on, however there was not a cut of anything like "2/3rds of the RvR content".
