Oh yeah, pretty much any MMO not made by Activision or Bioware will have similarly classy ads. This has been around for a good long while now. Whatever makes sense from a business perspective, huh?

I run adblock on my Firefox. Look at what I’m missing! I’m not honestly sure if I wanna unblock adds now or if I’m grateful I don’t have to look at them.

Gotta say – I was browsing the Daily Blink, and the ad in the sidebar was for ‘Call of Roma’. The tagline said “One click for a Roman Orgy!”. I don’t have an issue with revealing armor in WoW – I think it’s amusing, and a few of my toons are pretty scantily clad, but really….? An orgy? Seems a bit excessive to me. I have no doubt that it gets clicks, but I think it would leave me feeling a bit dirty. As if I should run a virus scan and maybe take a shot of penicillin just to be safe :)

Dear god, I never even noticed, or looked to notice. Maybe I’m sheltered, but is that really a ‘thing’ in other MMOs? Oh eww, and hell no.

Hi there! Long time reader, first time commenter.

Your tone was just fine, and that guy is being silly. Comments like his are usually an indication that you can “see the matrix” and they can’t. I and my Nelf Druid doff our helms to you sir. ^_^

WoW can get a little weird some times and i have worn armor in which I would have for sure caught pneumonia if I weren’t wearing a tabard. HOWEVER – I give full marks to WoW for their child npc outfits. No flirty little skirts with ruffles under them for the little girls, etc. There is ZERO to attract a viewer looking for that sort of thing (to the best of my knowledge, at least).

All I can say is – TERA. have a look at some videos sometime….they don’t stop at grown-up women.
to be fair, this portrayal of women is rather big (:pun:) in asia especially, a lot more so than in the west.

Oh .. and I’m female by the way … I don’t mind my toons looking like that. No crazier than wandering around in cow form, or blue, or green or anything else.

Are you sure its not just a wind up? A game called “loco” is already part way there to being a bit crazy … perhaps we should try it out! :P

Reminds me a bit of a game called Shaiya that I played until the files got corrupted on my computer somehow. Needless to say, my character was male, and his armor covered him up nicely. For a game advertised like that, I wouldn’t make a female toon if they paid me. >.>

It -was- a pretty good game, though. /nostalgic
