Title: Girls Who Are Boys Who Like Boys To Be Girls... Not In China! Post by: Signe on September 25, 2007, 12:23:53 PM Quote Shanda (Nasdaq: SNDA) subsidiary Aurora Technology has frozen game accounts of male players who chose to play female in-game characters in its in-house developed MMORPG King of the World, reports 17173. Aurora stipulates that only female gamers can play female characters in the game, and it requires gamers who chose female characters to prove their biological sex with a webcam, according to the report.

Post by: Numtini on September 25, 2007, 12:28:57 PM A lot of games in Asia limit your avatar choices to the gender you claimed to be during the registration process. I'm pretty sure Ragnarok did. And I'm trying to remember, I think the dance one who's name I can't quite recall now.

Yeah, just what the world needs- cam shots of the shrunken ill-used junk of gamers. If they started an ad campaign, it might help solve their population problem.

Title: Re: Girls Who Are Boys Who Like Boys To Be Girls... Not In China! Post by: Signe on September 25, 2007, 01:12:17 PM I don't think you can get hermies off a webcam.

Title: Re: Girls Who Are Boys Who Like Boys To Be Girls... Not In China! Post by: UnSub on September 25, 2007, 07:34:15 PM Surely the simplest way to fix this is to remove all the female avatars.
Cyber requests would only take a slight hit as a result. Title: Re: Girls Who Are Boys Who Like Boys To Be Girls... Not In China!

Oh, and here's their new ad campaign: King of the World! The only MMO with no Queens! Title: Re: Girls Who Are Boys Who Like Boys To Be Girls... Not In China! Post by: tmp on September 27, 2007, 07:35:35 AM A lot of games in Asia limit your avatar choices to the gender you claimed to be during the registration process. I'm pretty sure Ragnarok did. And I'm trying to remember, I think the dance one who's name I can't quite recall now. Yup, Ragnarok had your AV gender locked to what you registered as... same for Audition (the dance thing) and Pangya (golf game)CYBERSEX. SRS BUSINESS. |
