Twelves woman, cover up! Your calves are showing!Â

But now I am really wondering how many people think to what degree does it become 'ERP'. I mean, anything after first base is kinda 'erotic' right? I mean by the time I'm rounding second base, I'm already in a private area--or the club >.>

Lmao. Some people have different ideas of what is erotic. Public mouth kissing with enough detail can make people uncomfortable and sometimes that is enough for them to consider it erp. I hate typing on an iPad. /rolls up her jean legs to the knees. Aw yeah, now Sio is risque.

They've got their hands full still trying to ramp the game into full swing and crank out all the features, ferret out the RMT hydra who's heads keep respawning even more numerously, and deal with 'more important' things that people typing sexual expletives that would be obfuscated at least to some extent, by the profanity filter.

Not to encourage that sort of behavior or anything to that ends. Keep it classy on the public front

True enough. Some people are more conservative than others and the subject matter is going to offend different people in different ways. We could absolutely put on top hats and have a gentlemanly discussion about the many fascinating technicalities and nuances of it all. And that's not even sarcasm, honestly. Generally though, people have a sense of what is socially acceptable. If you wouldn't say it or do it while, say, at a crowded bus stop or at a store, then it's probably not the best idea to say it/do it in a public chat channel... unless... you know... that's your thing. And if it is that's fine, but, uh, those people get banned from buses and stores, so the analogy still holds up.

Either way, your mileage may vary. I just think it's better to err on the side of caution with any subject that has a propensity for volatile reactions.

Hmm, yeah that is true. I would consider the 'heavy mouth petting' bit running from first to second base for meÂ Tongue

Sio so SCANDALOUS! Then suddenly an RP of a Reality Show for our characters Big Grin

We shall call it "Eorzean Days" xD

So this seems appropriate too!

This thread!

Okay so I got a good one in the light of the ERP talk here.Â

As I log into wow on my Blood elf warrior I get a reply to a RP between a forsaken friend with his IRL and In game girlfriend. In short it was a rather steamy scene of him using his forsaken.... abilities.... and dislocating his him arm for stuff.... to put it nicely.Â

He promptly realized his mistake and started panicking, knowing I was likely laughing my backside off. ((I Was.)) Right away offering me a free months sub to shut up. I told him the ol' "It's cool what ever float's your boat man" Speech. But jeez this spawned a inside joke we only get we affectionately call "Put your hand in it." When we want the other to just shut up.

Blah correcting a double post here. Nothing to see!

Oh God I don't think this will be trumped for a LOOOOONG time *dies laughing*

MISTELL STORIES NO REGRETS >xP

I do what I can to please the populace. I will let y'all know of any other scandalous MT's that I happen to make. They'll all probably be juicy because lets face it; that the only time a MT seems to happen to the shy ones ROFL.

Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions about other people, but be super careful about when and where you tell people this! If other people like said person that you don't, people are petty and may decide to make this an issue. It happened before in WoW, and it wasn't even too bad. There's an easy way around it of course, just don't interact with them.

I personally would never ERP in game, there's just so many ways that can go horribly, horribly wrong with mistells. To the people that actually do it, you are much braver than me. I think i'll stick to my single chat channel for that one, eh?

Thanks for the laughs, guys!

In my last MMO, which was Tera, some friends and I had a personal rule: "ERP in /say or not at all!" But this was to encourage people to take their dates somewhere more romantic or thematically appropriate, like a remote mountaintop to "cuddle" under the stars, instead of ERPing in whispers while in a circle in the middle of the main city square.

I haven't really RPed in FFXIV yet, but from going around questing and leveling, it doesn't seem like the game has similar remote locations that don't feature in at least a few quests. I don't know how well I'm going to be able to follow the old rule whenever I get around to it...

Not to de-rail the thread, but I wax nostalgic about 1.0 for this very reason. It seems like in 2.0, nearly every location has an express purpose in the game.

1.0 Thanalan caves were my bread and butter for the Wandering Mages (A small RP group at the time.) and the fact that Tam-Tara had its own Aether node speaks volume as to its size before the world reshape.

Ah to make the journey to Long Root again...

It's not particularly difficult to figure out what is socially acceptable and what isn't where ERP is concerned. A loving couple cuddling each other beneath the stars and whispering in each other's ears is a lot more acceptable than someone emoting a wench sucking a guy off in a bustling tavern.

I'm a pretty tolerant guy, but MMO's are not a playground for people to act out their deepest, darkest fetishes. It's important to take at least some responsibility and not just brush it off as other people 'having different thresholds'. That's just a cheap cop out. I say this as someone who isn't afraid to touch upon mature themes myself.

ArmachiA · **10-28-2013, 05:00 PM**

On ERP, I think it's just polite to not... do that in /say. But I think the line can get blurred on when exactly you should go to party or whisper. I mean, the sex yeah, but a kiss? A hand hold? Some people really don't like it when you do PDA in any form in roleplay (Which makes me feel kind of bad for people who have IC SO's) and a lot of people assume that that stuff is part of ERP - which I don't think it is.

I guess it's better to be safe than sorry, but a little PDA is just fine. Gotta let others know that your actually, you know, dating Tongue

Eh. I think people can certainly show PDA and make it completely PG or PG-13. That shouldn't offend people--or I wouldn't think it would, at least. Val constantly has his arm around his lady to make sure others know she's his. I've seen others kiss, hug, and cuddle/hold hands in /say and it doesn't bother me. It's when you turn the corner and see someone actually doing something that's a tad too much =p

This, basically. If it's something you don't want to see people doing in public, or something you don't want people to see you do in public, then it doesn't belong in a public chat channel (and no... not even in /say or /em in far off corners of the map where you think you're alone... with what Jana mentioned earlier about the "ERP in /say or not at all rule," I'm beginning to understand why RP on TERA quickly devolved into a cesspit of glorified cybering).Â

Holding hands and kissing is fine. Some teasing and making out is pushing the lines if it gets graphic or is any place too public (just think in RL terms; you don't want to see two people shoving tongues down each other's throat in the middle of the mall). Anything beyond that or anything involving genitals should be taken some place private. "Different thresholds" is an excuse. Just because someone doesn't mind seeing it doesn't mean you need to be blind to the fact that it's not socially acceptable. As for ERPing in /say, no one wants to see that, IC or OOC, and I hate to be "that person," but there are kiddies in these games.
