What was your first MMORPG you've played with sexy and mature appearance?

Sexy AND mature? That isn't possible since those two are mutually exclusive. I'm not complaining about sexy armours mind, I think they're fine, but they are generally not sophisticated or mature. The chainmail bikini trope is a real thing. MMOs like Lineage 2 and Tera are particularly funny when you compare the same outfit on a "sexy" female race like elves or humans and their male counterparts; you frequently get ladies in metal bikinis, thongs with giant shoulderpads, and males in huge, hulking suits of platemail.
It's all about the fantasy and the idealised versions of male and female characters, nothing wrong with it. Just I've never found many armours both sexy and tasteful. There are a couple in Skyrim added by talented modders I'll grant, that manage to be sexy, fit the lore and aesthetic and don't cross the line into actual pr0n, but even then those are vastly outnumbered by filth.

You made an account here when you were 9? I'm honestly shocked that we have anybody less than 18 on this site at all!
OT: I'm not actually sure what kind of game I would describe as "sexy and mature." I don't think I've seen one yet.

I made my account when I was *does quick maths* 15 or 16 I think?Drathnoxis said:
OT: What an incredibly specific question.
I don't think I've ever even played an MMORPG, but I do remember playing MGS4 as a child and being shocked by everything in it. MGS4 is "mature" (it is at least rated mature) and it is somewhat sexy. The most "mature" thing I had played at the time were the old school CoD games, and the only other game I had was Lego Star Wars. I spent hours just learning how to use a gun in that game.
Your wording in your first post could be understood as you are 14 now if "since" is interpreted as giving a reason not as giving a start date.Bob_McMillan said:
You know, bikini armour is a big trope that a lot of people like to take the piss out of, but actually, I seem to have avoided... pretty much all of it?
The only thing that really comes to mind, though it isn't an MMO, is some of the leather armour from Dragon Age Origins
But thankfully, mods exist - and the sequels got a lot better at making female armour.
I've never really been a big fan of this kind of stuff, as I just kind of lump it in with overly bulky and spiky armour. I like my armour to look functional, instead of having giant fiery skulls, or more skin than metal.
But hey, each to their own.

Guild Wars was probably the first one I played that openly embraced and had sexy characters on purpose; and as a bonus did it for both men AND women.
TERA was the first one that I played that explicit about it's nature though. Shame, as the sexiness turned a lot of people off what was a really fun combat system.

Sexy /=/ Mature. Oi vey.
ANYWAYS...Everquest II?
Maybe not the content, I'm a bit fuzzy on that, but I'm STILL in contact with some of the folks I played with pack in the day.
From Yahoo IM to MySpace to Facebook.
While the game may not have been very 'mature', I did grow as a person because I was exposed to other views and cultures I normally wouldn't have been.
