An "Adults Only" server would be nice. You'd have to provide some form of ID to prove you were over 21, no game cards allowed, and "leet speak" would result in an instant kick/ban. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Blizzard is notorious for attracting the lowest common denominator of players and it's been that way since Battle.net and the original Diablo.

[/QUOTE]Well the problem with that is that this is an international game. Here in canada, adult is 18. Most kids have their parent pay with their credit card anyway, so this wouldn't affect them, and Blizzard is never going to really police servers, they can't even enforce roleplaying on roleplaying servers.

There's also the fast that there are plenty of adult griefers. I'd even say that the worse ones are probably 18-25 or so.

WHile they were making the guild, they obviously scraped the bottom of the barrel marked as "lowest of the low", and took a big chunk from there. Some people deserve to be shot, mutilated, eaten and/or scarred badly on sight.

Saw this vid yesterday. This is just more reason not to play Alliance with all those immature players. I mean really, raiding an actual funeral to Scatman? That's wrong. Hope other endgame guilds blacklist them.

[/QUOTE]Yeah, I know too well it would never work. And it's true, I have met some really immature 30 and 40 year olds on WoW and almost guffawed in their face when I found out their age. This is why no-one has done it yet 'cuz you cannot discriminate online without still letting these kind of people in. I was just dreaming really heh.

Dude, they were having a funeral in World of warcraft..... On a PvP realm, they were asking to be attacked.

An online game is no place for a funeral, if anything they should have done a masiive raid on something, not gathered defencless in an open area.

Im not saying that Serenity Now aren't a$$holes, but as I said, an onlinegame is no place for a funeral....

[/QUOTE]BS! Since when an online game can't be a place for a funeral? Are you new to online gaming or what? I've been to a funeral in RO once myself. It was attended by lots of people showing they last respect for a guild leader who died in real life together with his wife in a car accident.

That's like saying a girl who wears a mini skirt and a sexy strip was asking to be raped.

Really man, have a heart will you?

[/QUOTE]As I said, SN are a$$holes, but I just don't think a game is an appropriate place to have a funeral, it may have worked in RO, but in WoW, especially on a PvP server, large groups are bound to be attacked, im sure you know as well as I do that WoW is full of immature morons.

I never said i didn't feel sorry for them, but I don't think its an appropriate place to mourn for the dead, if it has to be done online, it should be done in a place where dip$&ts can't disrupt it.

Man, I really hope you're not serious here.

While I agree that what they did was sick to say the least, they paid their money for the game and didn't break any rules. Blizz should not create a precedent and ban them. I'd hate to see the day developers ban people for doing something "indecent" in the game.

Let the public deal with them (and they should be dealt with). You're the one who wrote "If the ideas are wrong, the court of public opinion will kill them, the law doesn't need to."

Bad analogy. You see, raping is illegal, while what they did is not against the rules. I agree with Hivetyrant, they showed lack of forsight by making it on a PvP server. Having a heart doesn't mean having no brain.

Illegal or not it's still the same.

Have a heart = liang xin in chinese. Go figure that out.
