My kid hangs around in dark alleys with about 50 of his friends, then whenever anyone comes he beats them over the head with an over-sized stick while shouting "GOOD FIGHT, GOOD FIGHT".

All those kids in puperty.


Puperty?What?

I recall puberty but I think I missed puperty.

Is that the stage when you start playing with puppets?

CCP is in Iceland, far away from crazy American parents... like my cousin's mother...


Really, the only thing this would do is make it so that I (and others my age) couldn't legally purchase game time.


It is pointless.

You're absolutely right, Valei Khurelum.

I can't stand idiots who think: "censorship is necessary to protect my children from everything that I hysterically over-react to and to prevent the moral collapse of society.".

From a marketing perspective, CCP should do whatever they can to get the most mature rating possible because the bottom line is directly proportional to it.

While I would like some of the dialogue (Agents or those little local message pop ups) updating and perhaps being a little more adult I am unsure what content you believe is missing due to the age rating? This is not modern warfare or grand theft auto; I do not believe that sensors really care about spaceship’s blowing up.

Boobies.

Mass Effect did it. Eve should out do them.

That is all.

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

Oh ****! Another one I forgot! Mass Effect 2 had it's sex scenes censored by weirdly having the characters with clothes on during their sex because some ***** on fox news went all hysterical about the first one.

If Mass Effect 3 does the same I'm not buying it :(

Sad panda about ME2's love scenes. Still an awesome game tho.

ME1 was just awesome without actually having any p.o.r.n in it. Fly spaceships, blow stuff up, save the galaxy & shag some1. They even had space bars with dancing alien girls in sci-fi bikinis. Seriously CCP! Smell the coffee!

If Eve had that...... in CQ.... non scripted.....my god man.... best game... ever.

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

Question. How in the **** is a kid going to try to emulate STARSHIP COMBAT because he saw it in a game?

As for all of your various sexual content I have to say I'm neither for nor against it. I spend most of my time in space anyways, hardly affects me.

I support it for reasons that were'nt really mentioned. except the simple fact in the OP, stating that with an adult rating, ccp could truly have free reign over their product. they would not have to worry about outside pressure to restrict their content. i dont have any examples, but if you think about what the game is already, its not child freindly. it teaches you to have horrible negotiation skills, how to bully others, how to basically take advantage of everyone around you in every way possible...
never before was there a game that does not classify ganking someone for no reason to "not" be greifing...
think about that in reality for a sec. that compares to robery and homicide... so yes this game is like modern warfare, and grand theft auto. only your not shooting people characters, but their ships.. dust anyone? in fact this game is far more complicated than any of the games mentioned so far, and in turn already is an adult game.

to respond to a previous post, i do not think this should effect language being used in either the forums or in game. people would get out of hand pointlessly with that freedom.
as far as nudity goes, id say it should be an option, but not necissary.Bear

I can't see it making any difference in the current incarnation of EVE Online. Perhaps when they have fleshed out their EVE Universe, added a few more WiS / interactive elements then, yes. But what content can you see them adding in the current version of EVE Online that justifies such a change and risk a number of their subscribers already?

Also, Age of Conan carries no rating at the moment. While the game did a reasonable job of handling more mature content, it is also a generally very immature cesspool.

Not convinced, sorry.

when people are forced to act, they refuse

when people are prohibited from acting, they act without limits

when people are free to act, they naturally moderate themselves

If the content is 'mature', then why call it immature?

If it's immature, then why get upset when children see it?

The thing is, adults like the example I showed in the youtube video constantly claim they're there to protect the children, when really all they care about is either pushing their own agenda like that stupid woman did or they're really just not wanting anyone else to see boobies on anything. Our communities are happy to push war time propaganda filled with violence on our 12 year old children ( I.E Call of Duty and Battlefield 3 ) claiming that marines are always the good guys despite the fact they swear and butcher people while celebrating it, yet showing one nipple or a woman being sexually attractive is apparently the greatest sin of mankind and extremely sexist ( lets completely disregard there are women who I know are perfectly attractive and would love it if guys looked their way for about five seconds ) come on people, lets be realistic and rational for once.

This is hardly the papal state, give me my ******* swearwords and sexual content back *****!

Oh another example I'm sure you remember.

Dragon Age Origins, this was a really dull game, gameplay wise, but what made it interesting for me was the fact that it had a dark storyline, sex, violence and best of all blood in combat scenes as their should be along with that even daring to have something like ( SPOILER ) Morrigan wanting to have sex with the protagonist both to save him and have a baby of her own to mold. Then Dragon Age 2 came along with it's silly and whimsical elves, boring and tedious storyline that was like something lifted out of a stupid Disney film and exceptionally boring combat without any blood whatsoever.

Wait, that's not fair to Disney films, at least those films were intentionally aimed at children and not just aimed at adults then nerfed because a few kids decided they enjoyed that kind of thing earlier than adults found acceptable, I read dark fantasy all the time when I was younger including Discworld and I didn't see anything wrong with it.

Also, care to imagine how Game of Thrones would be if they started censoring everything? They wouldn't even be able to talk about having sex with each other if the people in charge of that listened to stupid parents and pressure groups.

Wait. So CCP should surrender customers due to a theoretical threat?

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA



Wait. Oh, god, you're serious, aren't you? Well first off, there's this thing called the internet with plenty of boobs. Second, if such a threat were to happen we could deal with it, but, well, until it does, why worry?

Haven't you ever considered the fact that CCP are under regulations when they release their game for kids? Even manhunt 2 which was rated M got banned from some countries just because of the amount of rage caused by it.

Way to show your naivete towards media censorship there, good job :) oh and don't even get me started on SOPA, there are already enough threads about that.
