Porno MMO

My team has decided to tackle the challenge of creating a full-fledged AO-rated MMO. The concept will basically be you taking on the role of a male or female, with a great depth to customization of appearance, then just basically touring a medium-sized city looking for chance encounters, or pre-planned encounters, dates, one-night-stands. All of a very pornographic nature. Some name ideas so far: World of Whorecraft Skeet-skeet-online and various others. Any ideas, constructive or otherwise, criticisms, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Also we're looking for a couple 3d modelers. Note: I'm not posting this as a help-wanted ad (unless you consider an open discussion of the design as help.) Really just looking for ideas here. We've also played around with the idea of selling the software with an option for special USB devices that the player can attach to their genitals in order to more fully experience the sensations they are causing and being caused by their partner in a sexual encounter. Obviously there would be a wide array of such devices for both men and women. We would also like this to be adults-only (as it is intended to be as graphic as humanly possible detailing every possible act in the highest possible detail from every possible angle) this includes all rapes, fetishes, and straight sex (or gay, bi, etc.) However we'd like to design our system such that it wouldn't be too hard for minors to "find a way" into the system as well. For subscription purposes of course. If we restrict it to adults, we're limiting our customer base too much. Basically something like terms of agreement or license or some nonsense that states the age restrictions. Since no one reads those anyways, we wouldn't be responsible for 9 year olds getting involved.

Yes you would. Besides from being absolutely unethical to give 9 year olds access to this stuff, at least here in germany - from what I know - it's illegal to publish such content without proper age verification. And I'm sure that similar laws exist in many other countries.

The way we see it. This is a powerful tool for teaching children about sex without the risk of their bodies being violated.

Also, we're willing to host this game in whatever country is necessary to avoid such laws.

and this age verification, thats taken from the credit card i assume, you know, the thing that the 9 year olds have. idiot shut your stupid mouth. Anyways, i think this is a great idea. I am a single parent and I have two kids, one boy and one girl, and I find it hard to bring up sex with them. This would be a great way to introduce them slowly without having to rape them myself.

This is really not ethical. Why would you want individuals below the legal age of consent and/or the age of majority being exposed to "rapes, fetishes, and straight sex (or gay, bi, etc.)"? I'm not a "think of the children" knee-jerk reactionary, and I'm quite fond of a number of forms of AO titilation, but I think that content aimed at adults should be aimed at adults. Besides, minors simply won't be profitable in this segment - they have to secure credit cards from parents and find sufficient privacy to do something like this online, whereas adults have full autonomy and more disposable income.

Sorry, that's not how it works. Regardless of what your agreement or license says, if your organization becomes aware that a minor is accessing your adult-only content, it is your responsibility to block that minor's access or you will be held criminally liable. And "becoming aware" doesn't take much more than the minor stating his/her age in a discussion forum operated by your organization.

I recommend you do a lot more research into the legal ramifications, as well as take a look at the competition - Red Light Center, 3Feel, etc.
Are you 18 or older? [YES] [NO] - This satisfies all laws in any country. and you think its wrong to target straight sex at children? dumb. Also dumb about your post(Oluseyi) is that you think children can't secure their parents credit cards for a one time a month transaction. They do it for World of warcraft and a hundred different mmo's, this would only be a fraction harder.

Sorry, doesn't wash. "Teaching children about sex" doesn't jibe with "rape, fetishes..."

Are you also ready to move there?


I have no problem with an adult MMO. I just recommend dropping the "aiming at kids" angle. It's wrong and will get you in trouble, no matter what you do.
Isn't that what 2nd life has become?

I think the games industry has matured enough for this and you might even get some notoriety out of it, if done well.

I would suggest going away from the route WoW took of catering to the low spec machines (for mass audience), instead push the envelope in terms of graphics, requiring high end video cards and stuff. Visuals are the key here.(Think mo-cap full 3D, in game 3D video editing and stuff)

Good Luck!

You don't have to move to a country to host a game there.

umm... really? really?

I like the porn as much as the next guy, but I'd be very, very clear of legal issues before pursuing this road any farther (not to mention mobs of angry parents with torches breaking down your doors, possibly me included)
