Might I point out UO is not the place for this. We have children who play and might not be ready to learn the in's and out's of the real world of adult. Don't get me wrong I am not a prude or so behind the times. A have had many LGBT friends in my 63 years of life... many I consider family. I just do not think this aspect of our world (real) needs to be represented in UO for the younger ones to try to understand before their ready.
maybe UO is not the place for you then?
Let's not be negative. She is entitled to her opinion, and there are still countries where you get put in jail for being gay. We all have thoughts based mostly on our upbringing. Me? I don't care about gay or straight. Instead, I'm bothered by intoxicants (legal or otherwise) and body piercings. But those are my hang-ups. I know that and usually don't mention it to avoid sounding judgemental. I'm mentioning it now to maybe deflect some of the heat off Lady_Storm.
Why are we entertaining this ? It should have instantly been deleted by a mod. Had I made a post saying the first Republican National Convention building has been built on "insert shard", it's irrelevant to the game core and has no business in general chat.
UO is the place to kill rabbits and polar bears with fire and axes. Kids love it. Age restriction says 16 in my country. But it's no secret many parents let their underage kids play everything despite use of violance and heavy language (gen chat lol).
mmos in general have always had "erp" and people rping protitutes and stuff. i think this would be easier to explain than names like "nasty blue waffle" and "stinky pinky" and the 100s of other "questionable" names we see everyday in game.
