Oh boy, this thread went
nuts.
What was supposed to be a little
fun poking turned out to be a
big, long show of
dickery. What a
cockup.
*ahem*
First of all, I'm an adult and I'm very comfortable with my sexuality and beliefs, and personally I never had problems with them (The Boorum). Didn't get to hunt them much, perhaps only once during an event with socmates, and they surely were hard for me because I had too little armor.
(No double entendres there intended, they do hit hard if all what you have is Shogun
) And yeah, they were fun mobs due to their very prominent "feature". However I can see why MA/FPC took such a decision. If they'll be trying to get the most wide appeal into the game, they must first make it as approachable as possible. And as much as so many have little problems with a little nudity here and there, there are also people with different mindsets who do have a problem with it. People with
money. So they're also potential participants, not to mention the fact EU can be still be played by minors. The EULA states:
1. Age Requirements
If You are under the age of 18 please note -
To qualify as an Entropia Universe Participant, You must be at least 18 years old. If You are not 18 years old but You are at least 13 years old, You may still apply for an Entropia Universe Account, but only with approval of Your parent or guardian.
...so there is a fair chance of a quite unpleasant encounter, not by the minors playing the game (A boy already knows and has what it is dangling between his legs, and a girl maybe will point and laugh, but if she's at least 13 then she should know the whole business) but for their overprotective parents.
So MA/FPC is covering their asses there just in case, not to mention countries with different laws and rulings regarding nudity.
tl;dr: They were fun but yeah, saw it coming.
Dickless mutants are less fun but more law and kid-friendly.
