You (or your friend) is being extremely melodramatic. However I have a feeling that this particular GM who responded to the email is just an ass and is not speaking for the devs, he just has some kind of axe to grind as shown by his bringing the president into his other arguments which are completely invalid. If the GM is really speaking for the devs and they don't mind losing some business then he is right in giving your friend the old "if she doesn't like it leave" argument. Usually they are meant to be seen only by the developers during debug sessions and are taken out when a game goes commercial (or kept in if they are hidden well enough and then they just get written off as "easter eggs"). First all the whole hidden messages often containing explitives is actually fairly common. I'll volunteer to perform the latter but it is up to your friend to get the business people of Eternal Lands to do the former.Īs to the problem of seeing the "f* you" message in the game I have a mixed reaction. Seems to me this GM needs to be canned and then punched in the face. Totally unprofessional response, and the whole "i hate Bush" stuff is hilarious in its complete irrelevance to the problem posed by your friend. Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? Who knows?! Who cares?! Write an e-mail to your state representative askingįor Bush to be impeached, or for him to be deffered toĪn international court of law so he can be tried as a Write an e-mail for such a small issue, did you ever Nevertheless, I was wondering, if you have time to >appropriate people until this disrespect is >I am going to continue forwarding this e-mail to the >should be appropriate, then it should also be the >If you are stating that the rules for the players >the blacksmith in Morcraven Marsh also use very >I was also very disappointed to go on a quest and see Who hear or see the word "fuck" are negatively Are there any studies indicating that children Therfore we had chosen not to get our game rated.Īs far as children playing, I do not see the problem >language is used, there should be a rating on it. >There are MANY children playing and if this type of It might be offensive to you, but for many other >This kind of language coming from the makers of the Murderer, even tho he killed far more people than any ForĮxample, our great president is considered a mass Standard attitude is quite common in politics.

We're talking the four-lettered "f-word" variety. NOTE: This was not language from fellow players.this was language from the game itself-NPCs and the like. When, in the process of playing the game, she encountered some, ah, harsh language, she filed a complaint with the appropriate personage. She is both a parent and a grandparent (okay, so the latter presumes the former.gimme a break ).
A good friend of mine is presently playing this free open beta MMO.
