Good thing I live in Denmark. Just about no censorship what so ever. Not for violence, not for nudity.
And probably much less crime as well.
Well,,,, let me take that back.
Nudity and violence in video games DOES NOT create crime problems, parents like those of the columbine students that had no freaking idea their kids were making pipe bombs in the their own garage create crime problems.
Parents that don't bitch slap their kids when they get out of hand create crime problems. (I'm VERY against spanking, I never spanked my kids and they turned out great, HOWEVER, that doesn't mean I didn't punish them. Teach your kids right the first time, and MOST of the time their won't be a second time.)
Uhh,,,, forgot what I was on about.. Nudity and violence in videogames don't make you kill people, it doesn't turn you into a pervert, it doesn't make you do anything you wouldn't of done otherwise. Not knowing between right and wrong, reality and fantasy - now that's a problem, and the only people to blame for that are parents.
According to the INTERPOL data, for murder, the rate in 2000 was 4.03 for Denmark, 1.10 for Japan, and 5.51 for USA.
For rape, the rate in 2000 was 9.32 for Denmark, compared with 1.78 for Japan and 32.05 for USA.
For robbery, the rate in 2000 was 59.14 for Denmark, 4.08 for Japan, and 144.92 for USA.
For aggravated assault, the rate in 2000 was 23.68 for Denmark, 23.78 for Japan, and 323.62 for USA.
For burglary, the rate in 2000 was 1868.06 for Denmark, 233.60 for Japan, and 728.42 for USA.
The rate of larceny for 2000 was 1224.71 for Denmark, 1401.26 for Japan, and 2475.27 for USA.
The rate for motor vehicle theft in 2000 was 604.18 for Denmark, compared with 44.28 for Japan and 414.17 for USA.
The rate for all index offenses combined was 3793.12 for Denmark, compared with 1709.88 for Japan and 4123.97 for USA.
So nudity is worse that killing now, you christians make no sense at all...There´s NOTHING about nudity in the bible, it's just some crazy thing they made up to controle you... bha...it makes me sick.
Nudity is the most natural thing in the world, we'r born nude ffs!
Guys don't give him/her a hard time cause he/she is Christian, I personally don't believe or fall under any religion but it is his/her right as a customer to turn off offensive material.
Agreed, having to option to not see it will do nothing but expand their base as well.
I spoke to guys over at AoC and they suggested the following: You can toggle it off Or you can download this if it continues to create an issue for you www.hellokittyonline.com/us/
Psiho241, well you can ask the republicans in US. Your TV is delayed nowadays since a few years ago, because one person flashed a part of a boob.
It´s not only a few that are like this ... but far from everyone off course. I hope US take a new direction soon to become more like Europe and less like Iran, where the president has to be religious to be selected as a president.
There are a lot of gamers who would like an option to turn off all nudity in Age of Conan, and so I have created an online petition for gamers to sign if you think this is a reasonable suggestion so that the developers can get a sense of the appeal/requests for this.
The game director has said the following:
"we will err on the side of caution in terms of how we display nudity in the game. b) It is up to you what you want to see in terms of violence (fatality deaths) and nudity in the game. We want to make sure these are things you can turn on and off as you want. " - Game Director, Gaute Godager, http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146522
I have started a petition to make sure the developers of the game add this option, as having an option to turn off nudity does not affect those who want to experience the game with nudity, and even increases their player base.
Childish posts. Even as grown ass men/women you act like five year olds. People have reason for what they want to censor and likely so they should be able to.
If you're a family man and have kids running all over the place you wouldn't want them accidentally seeing it as they ran by.
If your wife/girlfriend has a problem with the nudity then bam you can turn it off with out getting bitched at.
If your religious beliefs go against a practice or content.
Instead you sit there and bash the guy/girl for their right to censor content. Instead of being insensitive to the issue and acting like an adult you could have just said it's in the game already, but no let's not miss out on the opportunity to rip the hell out of someone for their beliefs/preferences.
And people though AoC would have a mature community, laughable at best.
[[ DEAD ]] - Funny - I deleted my account on the site using the cancel account button. Forum user is separate and still exists with no way of deleting it. Delete it admins. Do it, this ends now.

The problem is, if the OP had even remotely bothered to investigate the damn game he wouldn't of needed to have made the dumbass post to begin with.

The ultimate censorship is NOT to play the game. If any or all of the attributes listed above offend or cause a problem it is a very simple solution........DO NOT PLAY.
And I agree that it remains to be seen that the community will be mature.

There will be dumbasses that run around naked like the nelfs in WoW hanging out in Goldshire. I always found it funny to release an infernal in goldshire and then count how many dead naked bodies were laying around in a few minutes. A while back someone posted a screenshot of a conversation with a GM, the player was reporting another player for doing what I mentioned above, and the GM asked how many dead naked bodies were laying around. I spit Dr.Pepper out of my nose when I saw that.
The newbie areas will be pits of pestilence and ass-hattery, but once in the meaty part of the game, as in most others the ass hats will be left behind to jack off to half naked pixels while the "players" are off enjoying themselves.

Your kids probably sucked their mothers boobs when they where less than 1 year old. But when they are a little older they can´t even look at boobs!? I can just laugh at it. Religion make people blind. It´s okey to kill but not to see a nude body. Something is seriously wrong here.
The world can´t adjust to every type of strange belief. Muslims might want a filter that make all girls have something over their heads, food should not come from the pig, etc ...
Seeing a nude body and beeing afraid of it is just ridicoulous. If people have that problem, they should instead start thinking ...
Smaller MMOs,, you mean the ones with a max of 100 people logged in at any given time? Or the asian imports that most people play for 5 minutes then leave cause they're not any fun(or like me, get turned of on the exceptionally bad translations), or how about the dozen different pirate games that seriously stink? Or like the one from interadventure, strange I can remember the developer name but not the game name, that's so freaking dated that the sole reason its even still active is it has a very small but devoted following of people that basically only use it for a graphically enhanced (albeit stunted and deformed) chat room?
Gore, blood and nudity are all toggle enabled ALREADY from the beta. In fact, if you're running Vista with parental protection ON, it enables the protection IN THE GAME as well.

Is this guy for real?

Same here in Sweden. Its kinnda hard to censorship for nudity when everyone is sitting naked in a sauna : )
So what would be the point of trying to remove it from AoC??
I don't think i have ever flamed someone on forums before, but OMG this is a retarded ass thread.
... something is very wrong over there ...!!!
Not wonder there are soo many wars around the world.
Let us not forget that god killed the dinosaurs because they refused to wear clothes.
I am sorry, I am a Christian and to all those who bad mouth us here, well FUC* YOU.
I for one don't have any issues with nudity or blood, wtf does one individual has to do with Christianity.
This is about one guy and not a religion. Seriously some of you have bigger issues then OP...
Pure Pwnage
It´s not only a few that are like this ... but far from everyone off course. I hope US take a new direction soon to become more like Europe and less like Iran, where the president has to be religious to be selected as a president.
You dont want tities? Dont play this game. There are a lot of games without tities. Oh! you wanna play AoC?. Well, AoC is a game with tities.

Nuditiy is always a good thing unless someone is like 200 pounds over weight
This is all about religion.
Seeing from their website they play call of duty 4 - where you shoot people in the head or slit their throats. But a nipple here or there is wrong?
Says it all i think, no one should sign that petition on the grounds that they give you.
Mature community in an MMO,,, that's an oxymoron.

The petition is USELESS.

Case closed. Time to move on.
