Actually that's the European standard, which works in complete opposition to the US standard; while North Americans flip their shit at the mere mention of a partially exposed nipple, parts of Europe (and my beloved country in particular) hit the brakes if developers dare making a game with more blood in it than could result from a scraped knee.RT-Medic-with-shotgun said:
Actually, their armors are already censored a bit, mostly by adding pants or skirts over their underpants. Of course there has been slight outrage over that as well. I personally think the censored designs look better for the most part.RT-Medic-with-shotgun said:

I tend to go right off anything that a censor screws with- or that a developer fiddles with purely to appease a censor and get a certain rating. I'm not going to cancel my pre-order, because it's a hassle, but I probably won't go past the 30 free days either.
TERA is clearly an article of entertainment media aimed primarily at adults. Censorship of media aimed at a group defined by having the capacity and the right to choose for themselves is retarded. It protects nobody. It's the oppression of peers by those who are no better qualified than those whose hobbies they are fucking with to say what's okay and what's not.
And may I also remind you: no.

I don't get this. Only our dumb neighbor censors our blood in their games (Steam has special "German versions"), and I don't understand why TERA EU has to suffer for it.gigastar said:
Also, it's been known for a fact since at least 90s or earlier that in Europe, sex is okay, blood isn't, and in America blood is okay, sex isn't.
Oh those silly koreans (Tera is developed in S.Korea, right?)
They think that european is nationality
And even better- european is combination of stereotypes
Looks like stereotypical norwegian (2m high blond with blue eyes)
Denies/ignores all violence like stereotypical german
And pretends sexuality doesn't exist like stereotypical british
I simply adore those ignorant morons
But to be honest Tera will fail in Europe not because of blood or 9y-olds-in-panties.
It will fail because this land is occupied by WoW and your game doesn't offer anything new.
Simple as that.

I think the main issue is the fact that the US is completely uncensored with regards to blood whereas the EU has been censored pretty heavily. From what I understand it's to do with the distributors/ managers of the projects for each of the regions.
Enmasse are responsible for the NA servers whereas Frogster are responsible for the EU servers. I will agree that there is a lot of fanservice in the game but it's nice to see people getting up in arms about something non-sex related for once.

Just as add a slider that has a cap based on the users age problem solved. I mean no one has ever lied about their age on the internet to get into any sites and if they did, there is no way to prove it. Well without TS or Vent.
*Raises hand*
I thought that it would be something to do with the outrage people have over the little girls because "OMG whoever play's this game is a pedo" and all that. Im actully surprised Fox news hasn't jumped on this to declare that gaming creates pedos.
Im not going to complain about them protesting the removal of blood. It's censorship and doesn't really sit right with me. I'd probably be annoyed too if I had any interest in the game just because I know im playing a censored version.
Of course I wouldn't have thought it was that big a deal. Maybe let the developers know on their forums that they are displeased with it but I don't see the need for a petition. If they feel that strongly though then I wish them luck with it since I really don't want to be one of "those" people who whine and moan about gamer entitlement every time something like this happens.
From the headline, I thought it would be the other way around.
The only thing that ticks me off about this is that the featured character is wearing a plate mail bikini.
My fellow Fantasy fans: Female armor can still be sexy WITHOUT exposing flesh to oncoming weapons or having the character wearing it pose like a hooker.

When I read the title to this article, I was like "Ah, so they decided to censor some of the ludicrous sex appeal..." But no, blood? I mean, I don't care for the censorship either way, but is there really still a thing in this day and age about censoring blood? Where's the logic here? Do they really think that seeing blood will make us into raving murderers?
I would like to see more blood in the game, there was some in the beta, but not much. But I wish they would cover up the females a bit more though. It's pretty ridiculous, I can't take the females in the game seriously because they all wear little more than an iron bikini. I originally created a female, then I looked at the outfits you can preview when creating your character and was kind of like "what the hell?" then I made a male character.
