"There are at least two kinds of games.
One could be called finite, the other infinite.
A finite game is played for the purpose of winning,
an infinite game for the purpose of continuing play."

ive seen all sorts of specialized guilds in many mmos
be it religion or sexuality -- guilds go a long way to foster community

You say they arent any gay communities in other MMOs. Thats a strange statement, since they probably do exist as a guild.
Not sure what else you are asking for more than what other MMOs have using social tools to allow people group up.

Dude, it's a video game. Play it and have fun.
It is not their job as a game developer to decide the community that takes part in their game.
This...
If you are asking them to make content specifically for homosexuals, then no, they arent going to do that. You are, however, free to associate with other LGBT individuals in guilds or as friends and roleplay to your heart's content.
You will have to search though. Roleplayers are a minority group in MMOs, traditionally, and I can only imagine LGBT focused ones are a minority of that.
Yeah.. Just look at some of the FF14 ARR outfits and armors for guys lol. It's the reason I rolled a girl toon.

mods should consider the possibility this is a troll, and lock/del
been in plenty of mmos with lgbt groups, they don't ask for 'implementation'.
Im honestly against it, as a gay person myself i see no need for something this, it's a game, in games it doesn't matter if you're gay or male/female the point of games is that u have fun.
So i see no need to put/create a group for LBGT.
althought this is my view, u are however free to do as u please
So much for equality and making it as normal as possible....
As long as people like the OP exist, society will always see other people as different.

If you're talking about guilds and such... uh, yeah dude. Every MMO has a few LGBT focused guilds in there, so it shouldn't be hard to find one in EQNext.
If you're asking about lore... I was playing during EQ2's Valentine's day event, and I was able to flirt with any NPC I wanted regardless of gender. So I highly doubt that homosexuality is a hot button issue in Norrath.
And i thought mmo's ( or games basically ) where made to play and not discuss sexual prefference's, how fool of me!

I've been playing MMOs since they've been around, and I helped create the first known GLBT guild in EQ1 (Nameless Love on The Nameless server). I know many games have had GLBT guilds because I've participated in them. I assume that every large game has their own GLBT community organized within it.

Recognize the voice? Yep sounds like Penny Arcade's Extra Credits.
Probably. People make LBGT guilds in every other game.
At least one LGBTA guild can and probably does exist in every MMORPG that exists in the U.S. or Europe. There are likely LGBTA guilds that encompass several games too.
How would a developer even implement LBGTA tools? Does that even make sense?
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
I am all for equality but short of guild tools, I don't see what else could/should be done.
Really, sexual orientation, religion, or ideologies in the realworld should take a backseat in gaming accommodation from the dev side since its a video game and not a dating site. As long as the devs do not exlude any group that does not infringe on others it should be ok...I don't like when people bash on others way of life but the reverse is also true, I don't like it when other peoples way of life is given special attention over others.
So let there be some homosexual NPC relations, heterosexual NPC relations, Bi-sexual NPC relations, religious NPCs (Not real world religion but in game lore context ones), and all other forms of represenation of NPC or communities in game as long as it does not bring down the production value or seem like a cheesy plug.
Oh good lord.
Where's my heterosexual community at? Can we get one of those?
Oh wait. No, we don't run around yelling that we're heterosexual, never mind.
Good points.
