How is a game makes rules to avoid offending the general population of game but then breaks the rules themselves?
The new shirt with the text “Istaria – Where lesbian dryads frolic naked in the woods all day long� has been found objectionable, because of the sexual nature, by many of the people who play the game. When I confronted VI in the boards they said the language on the shirt was approved by Rick Simmons and VI staff. Therefore the context and words themselves were deemed appropriate, correct. I wanted to see if this theory was correct. So I named a character based on that shirt. I want to apologize first off to all that was offended by it, which there was A LOT. The character I made on Chaos was named Frolicking Lesbian, straight from the words used on the shirt. I made no bad comment to anyone just sat in brist. Guess what VI sent me a message saying I had to rename the toon due to violation of naming policy, with the nice message: This type of offence is considered a violation of rules of conduct and, if repeated, can lead to further disciplinary action. So what is it VI acceptable language or not?
If it is appropriate to advertise the game why is it not good to use in game? If there are people offended by the sexual nature of the shirt, is it all right? What is good for the goose is good for the gander is what I was told growing up, but I guess not in the eyes of VI.
Sorry just had to get that off my chest and figured rants was the place to do it. Even though Im sure this will get modded soon.
