Yeah the whole furry loli thing is to me a waaaaay bigger issue then blood flow. I've seen the game play videos it's just creepy as fuck.
It's not furry. Technically it's just kemonomimi, or "animal ears".

And let me tell you, they certainly do make blood flow. [/sex joke]
I'd have no problem with them if they weren't on a the body of a nine year old.

It's all right. That's not their REAL bodies.
....I'm not sure I know what you mean...and I'm not sure I want to.

According to their backstory, the Elin form a physical body around a fragment of their divine being. So it's really just a shell or construct.
Okay so their a nine year old doll with fox ears....THAT'S STILL BAD! Eeeehhhh....>.>

Let's get this out of the way: I thought it was about the showing of so much skin which got everyone knickers in a twist. The thing that should be censored, well in cases of those races which look a hell lot like kids.

And now, to the topic. Too much blood? Oh okay. Let's just remove all the blood! That'll teach 'em that blood adds little to nothing in a MMO. Now if this was a FPS and TPS. >.>

Okay show of hands: Who else thought this would be related to the dress-code?
Aye. You'd think jiggle physics would be a more pressing matter, but apparently people need more gore with the tits.

people are enraged because they cut down on the amount of blood? heres the thing, if you start a petition over everything that upsets you, when you start a petition over something that is actually wrong and unfair, no one is going to listen to you. pick your battles. also, and i know that this goes without saying, since we are talking about an mmo, but if this is worth starting a petition over, you have too much free time on your hands.

i do think taking the blood out was weird though. the game has 12 year old girls who dont wear pants and ive seen porn movies with more clothing than the female humans and elves wear

Ah I see gamers have got their priorities completely screwed up... again.

The old gods are angry. They are not getting the blood sacrifice they so desire.

I guess some societies consider violence and murder to be a more serious event over pornography.

Wow, if they manage to organize a combined fan protest to represent them and still come off as bad as the worst retake ME3ers while insulting the developers then that's really a good sign for their community's reputation...

MMO developers these days need anything that can to attract more players. Jiggle physics is serious bussiness decision.

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.

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.

Guilty as charged.

Who the hell really cares?

This is another one of those games that will start slightly strong due to marketing and then there'll be maybe 20 people left playing it in 6 months.

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.

Thats just Germany. I dont know why the country with the biggest record of bloodshed in European history got this adversion to blood in digital media from, but its there.

I did. Imagine my surprise to see it was something much more minor.
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.

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.

SO they have pants right? No more 'cotton thong your on to catch a predator'? I just went google searching and boy do i think i will go bleach my brain.
That people are outraged that the developers gave them clothing for other countries makes me want to disable my ability to go into the dregs of the internet. MMORPG.com, MMOchampion, etc. Seal it up before they reach the surface. I mean for fucks sake, they act like its a slight against Korean culture. I entered a forum and immediately found my jaw in a permanent slackjawed "WTF?" state. Why? Because people related 9 year old girls not wearing pants to grown ass women not wearing a top in public. This brings back horrible news memories. That "child porn" is free speech protected. Know something i didn't want brought up today?


Personally i could give less than a shit about what virtual characters of any age are wearing, but as i said, i actually like the censored designs more.
