First - For Roleplaying. You could literally steal all the cloths off someones back, and make them beg for their underpants back.
Second - Distraction. Two groups are heading toward each other, bent on slaying each other, and one of them happens to be butt naked. That could be distracting, maybe long enough to give one side or the other an advantage.
Other then that, and the inappropriate ERP potential, I don't see it adding anything worthwhile to the game.
Its one of those things that isn't necessary. Like reading a book where the author let you know when the main characters would go to the bathroom. If it didn't pertain to the plot, I really don't need to know when they defecated.
Nothing excites jaded Grandmasters more than a theoretical novelty
i wish there was an option that said " I could care less about dongs, or vahjayjays in the game". but thats conveniently left out. so I wont vote.
I think its silly as hell to bitch, whine, and complain about nudity yet have no real opinion or preach about violence. lol swear these people's priorities are thoroughly fucked up. youll go ballastic over a virtual boob, but won't say anything about something getting decapitated with lots of blood loss, or limb dismemberment.....follow that logic for a moment? you got it? you good? no your not.
There is no denying that nudity will attract silly ass immature people who run around naked like idiots saying "touch mah boobz!" or "touch meh dongz1! get ya red hot hotdog right hea!!" the imagination these people have are surprisingly wide though Ill give them that. My solution like another person said is kill them while naked lol and tea bag them! since youll literally have the equipment lol.
idk , it just seems a bit silly to bitch about nudity, which is completely natural, and beautiful (though some people can stand to keep dressed ...color me shallow lol) get your priorities straight. There is nothing wrong with nudity, nothing wrong with a bit of violence as its a form of both entertainment and a good way to vent your frustrations rather than go out with a full automatic rifle in the real world. i just dont get some people frankly. butintelligence, logic and common sense doesnt go hand in hand with uptight people who love to force their views and way of life on you.

The game is rated Mature. If you're not 18 you shouldn't be playing it, and I suspect you are not 18. Even then, at 18 you should at least have seen some nudity in your life, including your own and if not I suspect you have some serious issues to deal with. Full nudity is a good thing. It shows someone isn't afraid to go all out no matter what's at stake.

They wanted to go for a mature audience (and not just by age, but by actual mindset), so people who giggle at boobies is not what they're going for.
It is nice to see a company that believe players can act like adults and not have to cater to the kiddies. I don't know enough about the gameplay yet to know if I'll try it or not, but I do like that the community has a higher chance of being mature in nature.
They also approached it in a correct way, it's not like the guys are all running around with hard ons, they are just unclothed guys. Granted it doesn't make too much sense if you have 40 naked people just running through a town but the community itself will determine how often this type of stuff happens.

I agree with you in theory but this game is going to be crawling with the "Chuck Norris did your mom"crowd and i doubt many adults will stick around for the show.

The stupidity of this decision is that when a 16 year old kid who bought the game on their parent's credit card finds out what they are playing, and that there's nudity and such in the game, they now have effectively just cancelled a perfectly good paying customer for no reason.
It's nice to think that we can all act like adults, believe what is indecent and what isn't (I personally don't care about the nudity), but as a business decision they are only putting people OFF from playing or staying with the game, and not attracting ANYBODY. Would you not buy the game if there was no nudity?

Lawl... If their parent stop their 16yo kid from player MO cuz there's nudity... hahaha there's a problem in their brain. Kid have sex at that age, they watch porn at that age and even sooner. If you're afraid of nudity, you fail. Quite simple. IT's your job to educate your kid about nudity and sex and everything about that. MO has full nudity, big deal, put some pant on and wow, no more nudity.

From personal experience I have to ask, what game isn't these days?
I've seen infantile outbursts on even the most PVE oriented games, on their forums, on THESE forums. Oddly enough I've seen them everywhere but in real life. I do not feel that full nudity or world PVP in this game will bring out any more immature jackassery than we see normally.
Of course you may disagree with me, in which case I'll have to make a childish insult about Chuck Norris doing something indecent to your mother.

WHATEVER.....how the hell does mature = include nudity? I don't like to play games with nudity and I am a mature adult. All it is going to do is make me not want to play it. Why would I want to play a game where I have to worry about my 4 yr old coming up behind me and seeing something they shouldn't. Besides, what possible value could it add to the game?
I hate this trend of games including nudity and profanity to make something seem mature or serious. Not mature in my book. It's just a cheap gimmick to get attention. How about getting attention by actually making a good solid game and leave out all of the crap like this?
I am sure I will get flamed for this, but it's where I stand.

I'm a new parent and I had to think about it for a moment to say the same thing. It's not that it's bad for the kid to see it -- it's that I don't want to get into explaining it at such a young age. At the same time, even though I did it myself (looked at Playboys when I was a teen) I wouldn't want my kid to do it, and if he had a game like Mortal Online, I probably wouldn't let him play it. But that's me as a parent -- I know kids do crazy things nowadays, but it won't justify me to open up the world of combat gore and nudity to a kid either.
Again, they gained nobody by including nudity, and only excluded people. Maybe not a lot of people, but that's one more paying customer that you could have, one more box sale -- and it's lost due to that design decision.
I think it is amazing and disgusting to think it's okay for kids to play at murdering each other, but be offended by nudity. You should all be ashamed of your screwed up priorities.
I didn't intend to get into a debate about parenting, just to say that SV made a bad move because they didn't gain anybody by including nudity. That's all. Let's get off the 'parenting' kick, my guess is that most people on the board here don't have kids so there's really no point.

Two things about this. First, as we all know, putting mass amount of violence in a game doesn't stop parents from buying it for their kids. However putting unsexual nudity at the level of a national geographic special in immediately freaks out a bunch of parents and they won't let their kids play. Thus making it a more mature audience.
Yes the parents thinking is flawed and stupid, but playing off of the flawed and stupid mentality is smart.
Second is that people keep saying they want a more real world, more freedom, more choices, more flat our realism. But yet the insecure and immature people flip out when there's simple nudity. I'm nude at least a few times a day, getting changed, taking a shower.... I could care less about seeing a toon running around naked. It's not going to offend me because I'm not childish, it's not going to arouse me because it's not done in any sort of sexual way. I don't care if it's men or women characters running around because I am secure in my sexuality, I could care less if I see a penis since I do have one and have seen it more times then I can count.
America as a whole is an immature society. Many of our views are very skewed. So yes many people in this nation flip out over nudity or anything they personally perceive as sexual in nature. That is why we have to spend a week talking about Tiger Woods affairs, and have to have ridiculous groups rally out against gay marriage when it doesn't effect them.
No doubt putting nudity in a game will put some people off. Also it will cause controversy which causes attention which is free advertising. There's several reason to add nudity and a mostly dollar amount as a reason not to. I respect a company that can make the game the way they want and not cave in to the people who aren't confident enough in themselves to see a pixelated penis. There wasn't nearly as much fuss made over AoC which was trying to sell boxes based solely on sexy boobs and an M rating. Where as this game clearly isn't allowing nudity for that reason.
People just need to grow up a bit and get over themselves.
I think it is amazing and disgusting to think it's okay for kids to play at murdering each other, but be offended by nudity. You should all be ashamed of your screwed up priorities.
Too bad 99.9% of the world thinks otherwise. Violence has been and always will be an acceptable form of entertainment. Full nudity on the other hand has never gotten the " ok ". SV can stick with the full nudity, but they should be ready to receive a lot of flak for it.

I think you're post is amazing and disgusting. i'm ashamed at it...
Human beings used to have absolutely no inhibitions towards being naked around other human beings. No other animal does. Christians brought about clothing and decency and, though the reason behind the concept is questionable, clothing is awesome. Choice is pretty awesome too, though, and how people act towards nudity nowadays is laughable. Everyone is easily offended on all sides. Hopefully, however, civilization is moving towards being more accepting and this is a good show of that for MMOs. Having the option to play a game that has the option to be naked is a good thing. Who knows if I'll buy the game or not but it's a good social experiment and a good thing for open-mindedness, creativity and freedom for the industry and the world in general (whether they take notice or not). Yay!
*I didn't think I'd have to be so specific as to say that clothing existed before Christianity forced it upon people. Yes, people wore fur and clothing to protect their skin from the sun or to warm them up and did so for long periods of time beforehand. It was nothing to do with modesty, however, and covering one's junk wasn't the priority. Christians did that. Happy, correctfreaks? The point about Christians bringing about clothing was more to offer a time period look at things and not to say anything positive or negative about Christians, either, so grow up. Christians forced peoples around the world to cover up and did far worse and far better things, facts and nothing else.
You mean besides the facts that it was still forced upon people before hand? During the time before Christianity, such as with the Jews.
I don't really care. I'm an adult person: for me genitals are just another body part, and not the mysterious legends they are for younger players.
It's kinda weird that there are people who enjoy that some MMORPGs have a slider for breast-size, and who try to undress their chars as much as possible. But when they suddenly see a naked model of a male human, then it's all wrong.
Some nudity is fine in my opinion, but I feel that the players will be a bit too immature about it and take things too far. If things go as I feel they will, MO will be know for its nudity more than anything else after its release, and people will not even care about how the game actually plays. I would hate to see a quality game with good mechanics destroyed by a population of people that just want to get off on virtual porn. The game might be fine, but its the players I fear that will hinder it.

I don't care if it's men or women characters running around because I am secure in my sexuality, I could care less if I see a penis since I do have one and have seen it more times then I can count.
America as a whole is an immature society. Many of our views are very skewed. So yes many people in this nation flip out over nudity or anything they personally perceive as sexual in nature. That is why we have to spend a week talking about Tiger Woods affairs, and have to have ridiculous groups rally out against gay marriage when it doesn't effect them.
No doubt putting nudity in a game will put some people off. Also it will cause controversy which causes attention which is free advertising. There's several reason to add nudity and a mostly dollar amount as a reason not to. I respect a company that can make the game the way they want and not cave in to the people who aren't confident enough in themselves to see a pixelated penis. There wasn't nearly as much fuss made over AoC which was trying to sell boxes based solely on sexy boobs and an M rating. Where as this game clearly isn't allowing nudity for that reason.
People just need to grow up a bit and get over themselves.
Too bad 99.9% of the world thinks otherwise. Violence has been and always will be an acceptable form of entertainment. Full nudity on the other hand has never gotten the " ok ". SV can stick with the full nudity, but they should be ready to receive a lot of flak for it.
Yes Christans (and all religions) are just responsible for mass genocide, not clothing.

I think you're post is amazing and disgusting. i'm ashamed at it...
You mean besides the facts that it was still forced upon people before hand? During the time before Christianity, such as with the Jews.
not to mention Muslim......
I don't really care. I'm an adult person: for me genitals are just another body part, and not the mysterious legends they are for younger players.
It's kinda weird that there are people who enjoy that some MMORPGs have a slider for breast-size, and who try to undress their chars as much as possible. But when they suddenly see a naked model of a male human, then it's all wrong.
Let's play Fallen Earth (blind, 300 episodes)
Let's play Guild Wars 2 (blind, 45 episodes)
Some nudity is fine in my opinion, but I feel that the players will be a bit too immature about it and take things too far. If things go as I feel they will, MO will be know for its nudity more than anything else after its release, and people will not even care about how the game actually plays. I would hate to see a quality game with good mechanics destroyed by a population of people that just want to get off on virtual porn. The game might be fine, but its the players I fear that will hinder it.
