This game is a softcore porn MMO. I heard it is also a pretty crappy softcore porn that scam the hell out of you, just to see some skin. Just avoid it man.
5) I even saw Kate Upton dance in a skimpy bikini (bouncies!) on the news. Also, nudity isn't that big of a deal, the idea of violence is a much bigger problem, imo.
Also, I think people forgot to mention that these aren't people in the game, you're playing as a person who controls androids from their "state of the art" computer. If you're going to get sensitive about that, then i think you should be outraged that Video games are "teaching" children how to kill. I'd get started on that, but that's a topic for another day (which I did a 10 page paper on).

What game shows me how to kill? I have played houndreds of games over 30 years and I have no clue how to kill people.

AeriaGames is the publisher that is over-charging for this game for nudity attributes that have been made long ago. In modder communities that have existed since EverQuest. Agreed the combat is not as good and the quality of the textures has dropped from the SK original. Seems like the game was down-sized just to fit on lesser servers.
The game runs more as a point and click Visual Novel with pvp combat thrown in, than an actual true MMORPG. I have no problem with any of the nudity in the game itself but I don't care how AeriaGames is scamming players for the lure of it in their random-number items and over-priced hundred dollars and up bloated cash-shops.
Then again AeriaGames is just taking advantage of the voodoism around sexuality and nudity in US by over-pricing SB. Also lack of official games with nudity in them that aren't 1997 replicas.
I don't care, to be honest. I gave it as fair a shake as I do most F2P's and it plays better than quite a few of them, so whatever, if it's porn to you and you don't like porn (!), don't play it, but it's not the worst game out there. In fact, I like the fact that one of the classes uses a whip as a weapon, I wish I saw that more often.

Besides the fact that I did like the odd class choices.. the game was one of the WORST F2P MMOs and yes OP it is porn. Every quest has some GREAT innuendo in it and you actually reveal soft porn anime pics as you level... The abilites are the worst I have seen in ANY MMO... They had no purpose other than to press buttons.
I thought Forsaken World played much worse from the start. Then there's WIzardry Online, Martial Empires or whatever it's called, the list goes on. SB is not far from the worst F2P I've tried, but it's got clear contenders lined up.
Its neither. Just a sad excuse to grab a quick buck. People forget though that throughout history there has always been some form of racy content in one form or another. Video games are fair game since they are a popular form of modern entertainment.
I used to hate dying in EQ not just because of the death experience but because my Wood Elf female was wearing a 1 piece skin tight suit. I recall some cheesy player comments that struck me as ridiculous at the time. And being a young female gamer the lack of clothing or the unrealistic armor irritated me.
Now its just a norm in most games and with Scarlet Blade, just a tacky and sad cry for money and attention.
the answer to the OPs question is: if its asian it can be both.

i don't know. Do you see naked people running around at wee hours in the night? Do you find yourself humping the pillow or grabbing your crotch for no reason? If you want to add to the discussion then do it. I simply see your interest and remarks in this thread as nothing more inappropiate. Your account should be banned for stupidity.
Sex has been used to sell almost everything for years upon years..even games.
If youre not used to it by now, I dont know what to tell you.
If you ARE used to it by now, then we really need to have a talk.
The time when people get used to bad things, is not a good time.
It is NOT a positive trait to get used to evil, immorality, negativity, etc. Whatever you will to call it, harmful things like exploitation or offensive natures is not something one should ever get used to.
One of my favorite quotes from Law & Order: SVU, refers to a detective who says, "I just can't get used to this kind of thing." with the Captain replying, "If you ever do, you shouldn't be doing it anymore."
It's one thing to have sexualize art or exaggerated anatomy. People like Frank Frazetta, for example is considered as a legendary artist who did not exploit women or the overmasculine men he also drew. nor the stereotypical white-knight useless-female style.
It is another thing to exploit women for profit. Real Life Pimps, for example. Those who exploit the anatomy of women for profit are closer to the latter than they are to the former. People do not have a problem with huge breasts and wide hips. They have a problem with the focus being on women's bodies, not character development, gameplay elements, strong female characters, etc.
People don't have a problem with art style. They have a problem with exploitation of what is obviously for money not artistic expression.

You must have a really really small worldview for this to be your answer.
Perhaps less time on reddit, and more time in the books?
Governments are usually the ones who dictate the age of adulthood, driving age, age of consent, etc.
It varies not only by nation, but also by State. Meaning each law is most likely dictated by the region and culture in that specific area, its history, and its present nation.

I bet some marketing guy over at Age of Conan smacked his forehead and said "why didn't we think of that" when he read that this game requires you to purchase a underwear unlock.
Man oh man I can see now why women get offended, we as a people use them as objects to sell things,
I have to agree advertisers do use sex to sell things to men however when it comes to products made for women, such as "Romance Novels" there's usually a buff, shirtless man on the cover. As a man I am not offended , even though the average man looks nothing like that.
Sex is used to sell things but it cuts both ways. There isn't some anti-woman conspiracy.

yup,,a beautiful woman can make a living , by just showing her goodies for Money
the market is there, because theres a bigger demand, than supply
solition: remove Money, or make beautiful women go naked
sometimes, i feel envy to those movie heroes as well, sporting their six packs

Actually, I really don't understand modern feminists. They QQ about things that aren't such a big deal to begin with (boob plate armour, anyone?). They go around telling women that they have the power to do as they please, but when a woman wears sexualized clothes she is seen as being subservient to men.
Last time I checked, women were the ones who chose their careers and what they could wear.
Why are men constantly bashed for our attraction to aesthetics? Am I to blame for being born with a strong sex drive? It's not our fault that we value beauty! GET.OVER.IT.
Thanks.
EDIT: I'm not saying that it's ok for women to be exploited. I'm talking about choices here. Many of these women made the choice to dress that way and follow some stupid backwards culture that uses them for its own agenda. What I don't appreciate is feminism that attacks men (I never get a say in anything because i'm a male). I understand that I may be one of the minority, but I hate being put in a box and being called out as vile or something, just because I have a penis.

there are conspiracies against everything, also against women
in some countries, a woman was considered a whore , if she showed her profile to strangers
I fell like here is a anti heterosexual conversation, guys you don't like girls?
Sorry guys but I worked in school and kids already know all the nasty things. We live in a time of selfish parents and free access to different information like porn so we can't stop this.
What about me I think women is the most beautiful creature so I don't find anything wrong with game. I don't play this game and will never play just saying...

Where you can find more skin showing:
1) Internet
2) Movies
3) Premiere channels (HBO, Cinemax, etc)
4) Beach

seems to me that the feminists have convinced you that naked women is demeaning.
yea man, true dat!
Ah, this was bumped just in time for Scarlet Blade's new content release!
