You're blurring the issue, I think...

Without reading all the posts above me, I would probably only shake my head about people who believe that the topic "love and sex" is more reprehensible than the topic "violence". But USA already proved it being reality, even innocent children with an age below 8 had been issued for sexual harrasment...

Fortunately, this is not the topic here, right?
__

Love and erotic should be able to be part of the life in Yliakum, to some reasonable extent, in my personal opinion. Explicit sexuality, instead, is definitely not recommendable (you may not be able to control personal messages = "/tell", though - I just mean public chat).

Prohibiting explicit sexuality in the game rules, and explicitly limiting ages in the character registration, may be the only way to express this opinion of the developers (and especially "reliable people"), although they are circumventable. But officially rating a game (by the development team or an organisation), is something beyond my understanding regarding "safety".

Including minors in sexual topics is a crime, true. But keeping children away from any slightest hint of this topic until they are adult, and scotching any kind of objective discussion, won't help the development of a balanced personality of children either. Love and sexuality is part of a human's life. And avoiding criminal acts is a duty of everyone. Relying on written rules and put-on labels only, is not a final solution.

Listen, the violence in Planeshift is pretty Disney.  I don't think there's even any blood, and murdering other people is discouraged.  It's mostly animals and criminals who are killed, and gladiators in the arena.  I don't think that death is taken seriously enough in PS but that's just the way things are for now.

But there already is love and sex in the game, and love and sex aren't the same thing.  There are couples, marriages, even kids in the game depending on what people want to RP.  And couples do RP kiss, RP being close to eachother, and every so often I'm walking around and I see a couple standing a bit too close to eachother to be just talking.

But it's not graphic, and it's not in everyone's faces, and it doesn't have to be.

Agreed.

This is a silly topic. How the hell are you going to roleplay sex?? Sounds pretty sick..
If you want a /penetrate command, make your own game.
We're not evil. We're simply amazing.

I not really good at starting topics, but the PG rating has to go, RP can't work with it. life is full of sex and other such stuff, this game just will be unrealistic if it stays like this.

how are the Dev's planing to tackle this problem? have they even thought about it?  :sweatdrop:

I think you need to get a little grip on reality yourself if you think this kind of stuff would have any chance at all at being implemented into the game.

No matter how "unrealistic" it is, if you actually made this topic in all seriousness I have to wonder about you.  Which I think is the nicest way to say that...

Do you consider kissing as sex or "adult content"?  I hope not.

There was student in my health class who asked the teacher if kissing was considered oral sex.  It does happen. Granted we were all umm, *counts back*, it was a long time ago.

If you want a /penetrate command, make your own game.

With words only, using "/me ..." and "/my ..." -- if at all!

If you can't imagine that, you can't imagine "roleplaying". A command for intercourse is exactly the opposite to our goals.

Wow, just think of the posibilities...I wonder if you would level up sex the same way as everything else.  /blow would be great ... and we already have the fenki /sit tight for it.

But no, it's not going to happen...I remember trying to get Karyuu to put in some...funny motions, nothing explicit, but I was hinting at it (/liedown, /dopushups .... that kind of stuff :P )

And as LigH points out...sex commands would just ruin the fun :P

Aaaaanyways, just adding my two condoms...
