...should we change the rating of this thread?

[sicklysweet]

i'll leave that up to mr. hien, since he's such a responsible moderator

[tot]

I guess.
And congratulations

[ NO PUNCTUATION BC WHAT DO YOU SAY BEYOND WHAT HAS BEEN SAID?? ]

[sicklysweet]

what’s up with your username?

[Just ignoring everything else to ask the important questions.]

[tot]

[ thank u for this service... ]

Hm? What about it?
Is there something wrong with it?

[sicklysweet]

isn't that a streamer?

[tot]

It is!
I'm that streamer!

[sicklysweet]

well, i can see why you got an invite over most of the rest of us.

[tot]

I can't deny that it is a good move, but no need to discredit everyone else.
They benefit from having a wide breadth of players.

[sicklysweet]

i'll discredit myself all i want. i don't have any sort of following online, so why am i here?

[Well. He does have a following, though it's different circles from what Uta does.]

but i suppose it was a lottery, so i'm sure most of us are just here on pure chance and that's all there is.

[tot]

Exactly! I won the lotto just as the same as everyone else here.
You don't need to have a large following to make an impression on the internet or be qualified to play this game.

[sicklysweet]

i think they might start to regret not having any sort of vetting process, soon. not everyone is as


optimistic

as you are

[tot]

Optimism or not, it's not as though they can control what kind of people join the game once it goes live.
I think it's a more realistic approach this way.
Even if the results that they get from it may end up as huge headaches.

[horologia]

Come to think of it, what exactly are the content guidelines for this forum, again?

[ 12+? 15+? surely not 17 or 18+. ]

[tot]

I'm not sure.
The age restrictions in my country are probably different than what they might impose here.

[horologia]

It is interesting where everyone seems to be located, isn't it? Many games will normally have separate datacenters and servers for different regions.

I suppose it might just be that since beta testers are a relatively small group, they don't need to divide us up that way.

[ now they just have to wonder which country's content guidelines and age restrictions are in effect here. ]

[tot]

It's certainly what seems to be the most player friendly, but there are some games that don't.
I'm sure there must be some sort of compromise.
All games come with a rating, for example.

[horologia]

I think I may have missed what CERO rating Fragment was, if it was on the box label anywhere.

Though perhaps it hasn't been assigned one yet, since it is a beta.

[ we are electing to ignore that CERO proper only was established in 2002, two years after this game is supposedly set, shh. ]

[tot]

[ we are pretending immensely for this fictional world. ]

I don't recall one either...
Well, if there isn't a rating now, I'm sure there might be one when it opens to the public.

[horologia]

Hopefully the playerbase's actions during this beta do not drive it up unnecessarily.

[ is this a joke? maybe it's a joke.

quick, someone go romance and seduce some npcs. call it testing the limits of their programming or something. ]

[tot]

I'm fairly certain that might happen. It's just a matter of how.

[ she's been on the internet for long enough to know. ]

[horologia]

Imagine, a warning on the box not for anything the game innately contains, but simply for 'community generated content.'

[ like, mmos already always have the 'community interactions' disclaimer, but... ]

[tot]

I'm sure it might not be the weirdest thing that could ever happen.

[horologia]

It wouldn't- though perhaps it might be a little odd in a game without a crafting system, or emphasis on user-generated content.

Or at least, I haven't seen any particular focus on that sort of thing yet?

[tot]

I haven't seen anything like that either, and I'm not too sure this is the kind of game that would include something like that.

Maybe if they find out that there's a demand for it during the beta...
