Here’s a post, taken word-for-word from the Bioware TOR forums:
Bioware I would pay double the monthly subscription for this and I know others that would too.
It would be hard to pull off and monitor but it would greatly increase the quality of gameplay experience for a decently sized group of players.
You know what? I’ve seen similar requests in every single pre-game community for any MMO I’ve ever been involved with. And the sad part is, the posts come from people who know what they want, but are looking for what they want in all the wrong places.
Frankly, I can never understand why people like the person who posted that message won’t simply join a mature guild — like Beskar, for one example — in the first place.
After all, when you’re in a strong, mature guild with lots of people to mix with, 95% plus of what you will do in-game is within the guild, with those same mature members, so the wider server — and the idiots on it — doesn’t really matter.
That’s certainly how I approach playing in MMOs. I turn off global and regional chats… I don’t join PUGs… and I stick to the mature people around me… and the fact there might be idiot kids out there doesn’t even cross my mind for most of the time.
They become all but invisible to me.
Result? My method doesn’t involve asking for these impossible-to-implement 18-plus servers, yet I have an idiot-free experience most of the time. Sure, once in awhile you might have character names turned on and you see someone run past with an idiotic name, or you go into a cantina and someone’s running around the room leaping on tables like a lunatic, but on the whole when it comes to chatting and doing quests and actual interaction with people, if you follow my method, you can’t go far wrong if a mature experience is what you crave.
You don’t NEED an 18-plus server.
money does not guarantee maturity. And for MMO experience, server population should be big.
the person who posted that has too much money and has thought things through.
Mature Guilds are about the only way to ensure some quality if you are concerned with immaturity.
