My friend sent me an E-mail a while ago regarding the Aika Global CBT on August 20, 2010. We've been waiting for this version to come out from the time our IP was banned by AIKA Gpotato due to restriction issue. I'll do some research if this is true and I'll also update you guys immediately.

It really is official guys, CBT is on August 20, 2010 (2 days from now). I''ve been waiting for this game to come out since my Account was banned from AIKA NA due to IP restrictions. I'm looking forward to their Epic 1000 vs 1000 PvP!

Two random Aika Global adverts in the General Discussion forum. Hm...
And hey, Aika devs, put some damn clothes on the pran fairies, you pervs!
That is all.
I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

lol. Pervs indeed. Although i did enjoy for a little while.

I oughta log back into the state-side version to check if nipples are still visible on the cleric class avatars when you take the top off. I figures it's been spotted by now, and jumped all over by temperance movement.
Edit; Yep. They removed the bra and panties and slapped on a one-piece girdle-like thing from the 1800's. Too funny.
God bless America, the only country where blood and gore pass where boobs and panty shots don't. After all, we gotta set the right examples for the children.

I don't care a bit if adults run around nekkid in an MMO (I'd prefer it were rated M, however). But the pran starts as a little nekkid fairy, then becomes a child, then apparantly has the potential to grow up into a sultry adult. Raise em like you want em is not an acceptable pet class concept!

Yes it is.
In fact, if a game were to go further with it and have chained up sex-slaves that you S&M into any way you want - it would make *millions*. You just couldn't sell it in stores, but mind you, there are tons of pervs out there that would be into that. Especially if marketed in the east, because there are just too many people that would get butthurt over it here in the west. I see the money though, and that's what matters. Hmmmm... maybe I oughta pen a concept for freaky-deekies like that.

You can't shock me with a game concept like that. The only thing that makes me go all over Aika is the pedo-flavor prans.
Okay, wait, wait. Stop right there, don't even make that next post. I just thought for a second about the words, "that you S&M into any way you want". Okay, I was wrong. I'm sure you could think of something that would make me run screaming.

You honor me with those words, truly
Take a look at Aion though. Give a man the option to make a short character and he turns it into a lolita. Just as bad imo.

Uhmm, who'd you sell it to?
On another note, I probably should take a look at AIKA Global and see if those...ermm...stories about the lingerie is true... For research purposes. You can never know too much, right?
Your uncle.
Don't be ashamed though. Everyone has that uncle.

Actually, I was talking about a developer/publisher. I mean, if you're penning the concept, you'd still have to pitch it to the guys with the cuff links and dough, right?
Who'd you think would go for that? I heard about one mature MMO being made (or is it, was being made?) that offered...well, you know...
I'm pretty sure one of my uncles would buy into that. Possibly, if it was an RTS.
Depends in the eye of the beholder.
Female players like the "daughter / Pran system" , according to my female friend who plays Aika, since it reminded her of the "Barbie" playing days.

Oh. Well with a billion dollar porn industry in the states alone, I figure it wouldn't be that hard. Just need to find investors looking to hit a new market. Gotta check out them expos and touch someone... I mean, find someone.
<_< >_>
@Pranerrific
Madmorrigan (or w/e) is female and clearly offended by it. I think the entire concept is better off hitting the male demographic.

Prannerrific And the OP really do come over as Advertisers for this Korean grinder [just look at there posts]. And defending the Little nude Girl Porn pet is pretty transparent.
So yep it seems this games main selling point is porn related And not just because of the dodgy pet system. Hence the censoring of female avatars in America.
Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981
So you like Naked children?
Ok well it seems we know the sort of players that will play this one [rolls eyes].

A. This is one of the least grindy F2Ps I've seen.
B. It's not porn, but anything to rationalize the situation, right?
C. America has issues with f'n *everything*. Most prudent/whiny nation in the world atm.
Make this into any kind of witchhunt you like, but the fact is that I laugh at the idea of censoring because some people get butthurt and blow things out of proportion. While on the other hand, people like you will say whatever it takes to justify any reason to tear down a game that came from Asia. I just find the whole thing funny, because it's exactly what I expect from my fellow Americans, and I expected the body-swaps to happen the moment I noticed it being too racy for your average yank.
See? You got me saying "yank" like those damn limeys.
*heh, I just realised you are one of those damn limeys. We must have picked it up from you before declaring independance.

Two Questions.
How old are you?
And do you socalise outside of the internet?

First of all, you like Aion - a game where most of the male players create lolita characters - and that doesn't offend you?
As for your questions; 26, and of course I do.
My problem is that as a future horror/drama writer, offensive material is my bread and butter. If I can't write about teenage suicide pacts, rape and ultraviolence, then I don't want any part of the medium. I see a lot of beef over this kind of stuff in games, but nobody complained when the kids in kickass were portrayed in the most gruesome scenes, well, ever. Nor did they when Christina Ricci was a 16 year old transient being abused by Benecio Del Toro in Fear and Loathing, let alone Black Snake Moan - which was far worse. People are far too picky about what they think should be censored, when I am of the camp that it's all ok, or nothing is.
I don't advocate RL kiddy porn in any shape or form, but this is just digital entertainment with zero sex involved (just "sexyness"), and hits nowhere near the benchmark as "truly offensive" in my eyes. I've seen worse things in fanart sites, or newgrounds. Hell, MTV and Disney are vendors of teenage sex symbols and nobody jumps on them about it, besides maybe south park.
~and I *would* like a history lesson on both the terms "limey" and "yank". Never understood either meaning.

Limey
Yank
Wikpedia is your friend
Also have to say i hate Peado's. And i dislike anyone sexulising adolesents just to promote a game aimed at children.
As for myself i am not easilly ofended by porn that is legal and aimed at Adults [tho 2 girls one cup does make me sick].

I ninja edited it a bit just before you posted, so I'll add this to your current point;
Like how MTV and Disney sell adolescent sex symbols?
Granted there is a limit to where they take it, but it *is* what they do.
Also, I've seen some pretty childlike avatars in Aion that even feature the suffix 'loli' in their name. Any disassociation from that is purely on your part.

While i can understand your support of a game you like i have to ask you is it too hard not to have some lingering reservation about sexulising little naked slavepet girls in a game aimed at Adolesents?

I'm not even into Aika, I'm just saying it's not as bad as you people make it. The prans are featureless, like a barbie doll, and by all means the nips on the cleric avatars should be far more offensive to you... and you wouldn't have even known about that until I told you. As for sexualization and kiddos, I hope you get this in your country;

Also judging from sayans past reply it clearly is while not a big thing is another small step towards something unhealphy.

Well, everybody has got their own opinions. Anyway, aside from the sexuality stuff, I think Aika Global is quite decent, but I'm sure there are better games out there but I'll give it a shot in their OBT. Anyone, able to play in the CBT?
