Well, the comparison I made in my post was not to a bar. Apparently, what I said, cannot be named here. As edited, my post above doesn't make much sense now, without that exotic analogy. (Well, the analogy wasn't exotic, the type of club named was.) The other edits to my post, means it still doesn't make sense.

There are pros and cons to this subject. This is a family site. I understand as adults we need us time. However, I don't know about you, I am trying to promote and enjoying something with my kids that we can do together. My son is excited that he gets to play pirates with his mom. That is totally cool to him. Personally, and with what i have seen, Not all adults want to hear adult convo or swearing, either. It only adds to drama that we don't need or trying to avoid. We have enough in our own lives that we don't need to add more. We adults already have a gutter mind, should we really be adding more into the game?

[Fabled]

I totally agree.

[swashbuckler II]

I agree 110% Even though im not an adult, Adults should shoould get their own server(s)

[Crazypirate]

with the new chat features eliminating alot from "plus chat" is there really a need for adult servers now? And Pleasure island was very cool used to go alot when I was living in FL.

I think there is still a lot of reason to have adult servers. The new chat feature only eliminated a portion of the need.

Some of these kids are more potty-mouthed than some of the guys I served with in the USN. But that doesn't mean they are mature enough to have an adult oriented conversation (not necessarily sexual, explicit, or otherwise lewd). I'd still like to have an ocean (server) where I "know" that the pirates are all over 18.

True....but if they were to implement such a thing, how does adding something with the word "adult" attached reflect on the Disney name? I think Disney would take some serious HEAT for adding anything exclusive to adults. When you think Disney you typically think parks, toys and well.....kids. I agree there are teens and kids in the game that talk some serious trash which is completely uncalled for....but that is another story entirely.

I totally agree! I may not be eighteen but I think while coming across this that noone my age can hold a conversation with me, and that would help the people who are like me who can hold a conversation with an adult. Half the people at my school dont like me because I want to talk about something other then hot girls, and cars. I like living life I dont like watching it, and if someone like the guy who posted this thread could help I totally agree. Thanks anyone who is like me, and agree's.

ok so i've tried to search thru the threads here and i've seen this mentioned on other unrelated threads but not seen anything that deals with this directly. so i figured i'd give it it's own thread (if that's ok...lol.)

I've noticed there seems to be quite a few people besides myself who all feel the same way. that it'd be nice if they made 18+ ONLY servers with a few less restrictions. like a little less prone to ban someone for giving their age, state they live in, an email address, that sort of thing. someplace we can actually play with people and KNOW for certain they're OUR age and have a conversation like adults without fear of being banned. we have to give our ages when we set up our accounts anyway. if people didn't want to be exposed to what was said on the adults only servers they could go to the regular "Pirates-Lite" and play the "G-rated" version. i mean we need a "PG" kind of thing...well you know what i'm getting at! hee hee hee...

like i said on another thread..i'll sign a waiver if i have to stating i'm playing at my own risk on a more open game.

i just think it's pretty crappy that they snoop through a private conversation between two people (i mean HELLOOOO what is the "whisper" feature for anyway???) doesn't whispering imply confidentiality? there's only supposed to be 2 people reading it! ...uh, the only people who are gonna be offended in a private convo are the people involved...right? (and i know i definately would not hesitate to report someone after asking them nicely to stop being a virtual jack-*****...) if it's "privately" said why do they flip out and say that something's "too personal"? then leave it to the people involved to take it upon themselves to report it!!

so i say make some adult servers then. problem solved.

i've said it before..the game already promotes gambling, drinking, killing/torture of lliving...and NOT so living (lol), talking to prostitutes, voodoo magic, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...lol. i think it's being a bit hypocritical that we can't give out a yahoo id without being chastized and made to feel like a naughty 3rd grader being sent to time-out. my best friend of 17 years and i like to strategize but have to do it in yahoo half the time so we don't get banned.

that's another thing. what if it was someone you knew PERSONALLY -like as in the flesh so to speak. you're gonna get banned for telling your relative or best friend something they deem inappropriate???? that's just DUMB. There should be an "appeal" process to allow you the opportunity to plead or explain your actions or words. like letting them follow up and ask the other person involved what's going on maybe before they just ban you. can't they write and tell you that you're in risk of suspension because you said this or that and they're investigating it before final judgement is handed out. lol. i know it sounds a little dramatic, but it seems to be a bit more of a fair way to deal with it.

that's why i'm suggesting this here on it's own thread. anyone who feels the same way? i say let's all write to the Pirate People and see if we can maybe persuade them! heeheehee... "VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!" <-hahahahaha....

Thanks for having a look guys!

DIsney... Adult..

Its like Disney making a rated R movie! Not going to happen and you can bet on it... and make it all Fabulous as you want it... but I know we just need to Work Thing Out,...

Stupid HSm songs that make sense when trying to make a point!

*offtoic*

Bit of history...

Its like Disney making a rated R movie!

Disney though has made R rated movies.... though before 1985 it was their policy NOT to. When Disney was almost lost in a giant takeover bid attempt and saved by Roy Disney (and a series of close counterparts Michael Eisner and Stanley Gold) - they realised they (they being Disney the braind) could no longer sit on the side letting 20 year old movies, two outdated theme parks, and a creatative division just collect dust and expect this not to happen again.

One of their initatives was in their Movie division - and they actually approved the change and began the Release of R rated movies in 1986. (now I read this book almost 15 years ago on the whole Disney Empire being almost lost - so I'm a bit rusty... feel free though to use todays wonderful search technology to look up how Disney was almost Disney-No-More... )

Indirectly, yes, Disney has made R-rated movies.
While the company's never made a movie under the Disney name they have made R-rated movies under touchstone.

Here's an article quote.

Touchstone Pictures, a film label that the Walt Disney Co. had all but abandoned, is coming back to life as the new distribution pipeline for Steven Spielberg's production company.

As expected, Walt Disney Studios and DreamWorks Studios, the latest incarnation of Spielberg's boutique filmmaking operation, said Monday that they had reached a distribution agreement after a collapse in talks between Spielberg and Universal Pictures, with whom DreamWorks had announced a new distribution deal just four months before.

Under the new agreement, Disney, via its Touchstone imprint, will distribute 30 DreamWorks films over five years. Disney will also handle DVD sales and distribution on Starz, the premium cable channel with which Disney has a long-term deal.

The news late last week that DreamWorks was parting from Universal so soon after striking that deal jolted the movie industry, becoming the latest sign that the climate for raising money in Hollywood was extremely difficult, even for someone named Spielberg.

The highest rating for a movie under the Disney name that I can find is Pirates of the Caribbean.

On Topic: I doubt an Adult Server will ever enter the game. If anything "adult server" related enters the game it will be the day Disney sold the game to another company.
