    this game censored the word "adult". you cannot get any more stupid than that.

    as for the one who said "com" is blocked to prevent phishing etc., there's a few flaw in your logic. 1) we cant hotlink in game 2) net, org, co, and others aren't censored too.

    Try typing "accumulation"....

    I totally agree, the word filter is being done too sloppy. A bit more care to allow people to converse in normal english without having to search for synonymes ever other word would be nice.

    As for the com, surely they'd just put the block on .com instead of anything with com in it? Isn't a job for the anti virus companies to defend against virus' not game companies? The worst you're likely to pick up is a toolbar and lets be honest, half the adverts from the "Get free balens" are riddles with toolbar **** as well, so if they really where looking out for us wouldnt they remove these ads as well?
    GM is Game Moderator, silly.

    Whoever said it was Guild Master.

    yea i was shock to discover com being censored too, since "come" is such a common (look, common includes "com" too) word to use in everyday speech. i found it excessively irritating that "com" is being censored and yes, it has gone too far. if they meant to protect us from malicious websites then censor .com instead.

    I admit sometimes censoure annoyed me aswell, but it's not that bad and i do agree with the GM and com censoures. Also about "welcome" i never had a problem writing that word...always appeared without @%&@ or whatever other signs appear when censouring.

    Players complain about every thing they could.

    No, the censorship is fine. The censorship is to protect the players from potential hacking/abuse.
    The following examples show why some of the "words" are censored:
    1) GM -- this is to prevent potential hackers who create account names GM_Zeus, GM_Aries.
    2) com -- as someone said before, this is to prevent hackers from being able to re-direct other players to websites ending with .com (might be a website with virus/malware, keylogging), etc.

    Don't complain about everything. Many barriers are in place to protect you. They may cause you minor inconveniences, but prove to be more good than harm.
