Are Children Mature Enough to RP? Why worry about "for all family"?

Then we could add a few more “buggers” in the NPC chat, along with with more gory graphics and maybe even some provoking clothing for the females (heck or no clothing at all).

Why is it that "mature content" so often refers to the opposite? Objectification of women won't lead to roleplaying (at least, not the sort we want).  Regardless, if the best entertainment you can think of is nekkid pixelated catwomen... I'm sure there are such games somewhere :]

Why just the females?

Hmm. Reminds me of a fenki skin that was around a while ago..

Just out of curiousity how would you tell if a klyros was male or female? They really ought not to have any "mammalian protuberances."

[Karyuu]

Klyros aren't lizards, although they have a reptile appearance. Just like Enkidukai aren't cats, so Enkidukai females don't have extra sets of breasts. Klyros females will have a clearly humanoid female form.

Concerning adult content in PS, here's an older thread for interesting reading.

Good question. I find myself curious to the answer of this.

[bilbous]

Does that mean that klyros are somehow mammals? or perhaps they are some magical construct.
Can you imagine how much trouble a well-endowed female klyros would have flying? Klyros do theoretically fly don't they? How would that be in any way realistic?

The answer to Z's question is that obviously more people can appreciate the female form than can the male. If you need any evidence of this just look at the magazine business, the most popular magazines for men and women have women on the covers.

It seems

That this game cares about quantity of players, not quality 

Perhaps something should be done to drive away those that dislikes roleplaying and to attract and keep more of those who likes it.
Because some players actually don't improve their skills... never. And spoils totally the immersion... PS community needs some improvement.

About the for all ages... utopian if not ironic to struggle guarantee such kind of environment that falls down on the values typically connected with the cynism of a (neo)conservative society(Violence  , Sex    --- Thats why they made the South Park movie  ... to ridicularize the ESRB), that is my final opinion based on the previous arguments...

P.S. : I never played a MMO(RP?)G because of the totally imature communities most commercial ones have

They glide. They are not powerful enough to stay in the air for any extended period of time, and they cannot push themselves off the ground with their wings - they need to dive.

I wasn't a superb roleplayer when I first discovered PS. If I was driven away by some stupid age limit, I would have never made the contributions that I did. Same goes for other devs, GMs, and many respected community members. We would love to have a game just full of high-quality players, but that seems like a utopia to me. Everyone needs some place to learn, and PS is one of the friendliest. Commercial MMOs are the ones dying to get high numbers, since they are a business. We're a hobby and we want people to have fun - you don't have to come in being a great roleplayer right from the start, you just have to be willing to learn.

And that's the best situation.

I think tolerance is more important than the current quality/quantity of the players, because players are also in development. Some players learn faster than others and some are more flexible, but we all need to respect each other and allow ourselves the time to grow along the game. We all learn something new about RP every time we come online.

We play around bugs, unavailable skills and mechanics and we need to look past certain grey areas (like death and laws) all the time. Meeting an inexperienced player is one of those things we need to have patience with. And in most cases, it can be fixed faster than any bug (especially if you do try to help). If it doesn't, you can always step away and avoid RPing with that person. And if it gets problematic there are ways to deal with disruptive players.

That's a lousy answer.

If you need any evidence of this just look at the magazine business, the most popular magazines for men and women have women on the covers.

That's just evidence that men control the magazine industry and they're trying to sell a certain body image to young women who will in turn spend a portion of their expendable income on achieving that body image they were just sold.

This topic is going ridiculously  (If you want to discuss why most porn is for males, there are other places for that)

As I see that it is totally defined and fully unchangeable about rating... Then I hope the devs do something to attract more of those that are willing to roleplay and to improve their roleplay skills, and to make those that dislikes roleplay willing to leave, because occasionally I meet those "leets" around, and they don't care anything about roleplay...

That's all I ask... to make it even more attractive for roleplayers and would be roleplayers and even less attractive for "leets".

If more offtopic goes, it will be better to lock it...
