I'll admit to being curious as to whether the game has prayer calls as well. Used to function as my alarm call.
Muslim Virtual World Coming Soon
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Eh...if they made a virtual world where you just live the life of some average christian, they'd think the producer was mad. But because it's muslim, then oh fine that's completely sensible.
Holy crap people, this is just a game aimed at the muslim gaming demographic, not "segregation".
Online Game forums seem to be able to what God can do best - make something from nothing.

"Muxlim.com Vice President Ashar Saeed said the Muslim virtual world should attract sponsorships from companies like Coca-Cola."
I seriously hope that's only a bad joke.

This seems like an interesting experiment. I wonder how the designers are going to deal with griefing and trolling.
This game is going to become a target for internet trolls who log in and spam everyone with anti-Islamic messages. Count on it.
Guys come on not all muslims are not terrorist. Some are good people. Even though alot of them hate us and wish we would die; I don't think I can blame all of them. I mean come on some do everyday things like sell gas and drive cabs or make really bad food. But to go straight for the "dirka dirka" thing so quick, come on guys insult people better than that. Also if you are going to hate people for religon you might as well put a swatzika on your head.
he actually did comment about what I said earlier. But somehow place his comments inside of the quote.sirdanrhodes post=7.74921.851712 said:
I understand what you are trying to say, but, let's face it, games developed cater to one group or multiple group of people. Let's say, CoD4 was really aimed at western gamers. But if a bunch of game dev want to build something for a specific religion or community, it's well within their rights.
oh and, I would really like to join one for Agnostics too.
And really ....

I'm sure some annoying people will get this game and throw around religious hate. I just hope they have a good moderation service.
I'm not too happy about it, because it's against one of the most important things in MMOs: community. They're taking away the many different (and generally annoying, I admit) people that make up MMOs, and, well, it doesn't bode well for me.
Regardless, best of luck for them. Hopefully, it helps bridge some gaps... and add fuel to the fires of segregation.

Exactly, what's with all the hate and bigoted comments here. Just because it's an online virtual world doesn't mean that it isn't allowed to cater toward a specific group (which also happens to be the group which is creating it). This is not going to cause segregation, is not going to block interfaith dialogue and is not going to become an online terrorism camp (Islamic people are just that, people!).ElArabDeMagnifico post=7.74921.851370 said:

Other than the teddy bear incident, and maybe, the danish islamophobe cartoon, who else got admonished, arrested, and executed for linking the name of this particular prophet? I really would love to know.
I hope there won't be a "why all the hate against islam?" because seriously with the people who blow everything out of proportions ...
Edit: yeah, i'll have a nice fucking day, tomorrow.
Havn't you learned yet? People make a big deal out of everything even when it doesn't relate to them in any way. I figured you would have learned by now from what Sony have been doing the past week.ElArabDeMagnifico post=7.74921.851370 said:
But best of luck to them, as i'm sure there will be a huge number of trolls and bigots on there with Anti-Islamic/Muslim stuff. Hope for the best.
