The Mana World Forums

Yes, I will: those other things are fauna which could realistically evolve (or be created) in a world with different parameters. Realistic doesn't mean "existing on Earth", it means "internally consistent".

Any opinions and suggestions that may me constructive are always welcome and i thank you for that. But realism is not my 1st priority when creating a map.

I'm not suggesting large scale changes. Just remove the volcanoes from their current position on the cave map, and if you add them (probably breaking onto a surface map), don't have caves near them.

I had a look at your website before starting to create an account on your server but i found something on the forum...
Why can i find that in your forum ?

Seriously, that's not really good for young players, and after having seen it i don't wan't to play anymore on your server...

That's what happens to every unused forum when you leave it unattended.

It's a shame yes. I personnally don't really care about it, even if it shocked me to see such content here. It isn't safe for young people at all. I posted it to let them know such content exists in their forums, i hope they'll clean it !

We have addressed this issue and will start blocking the offending IP networks from where the bots (or actually people, since captcha was instituted) have been flooding the forums.
As far as content, we agree that is not good for young players. We believe that cursing and such should never be part of the game text or scripts. Also we are evaluating some of the current content for "wholesome" game play, as sometimes DEVs forget that there are young players and the game is not adult only.

Thank you everyone for your comments and criticisms. It's nice to know we have friends alerting us about these issues, especially since we are so busy developing new maps and gaming scripts for the new release of LOF.

This content is offensive yes, and is frequently cleaned. Bots on the forum should not be a reason to turn away, everyone can choose to play or not but we would hate for people to miss out on a game due to people putting up ads on the forum. Those posts...we get that much or more a day, and it's difficult to watch it all day. Its not safe for young people, but we strongly enforce a cursing and inappropriateness free server. It is safe for children to play, and if someone whispers them inappropriate things they will be swiftly banned. We just want to make it clear this server is safe and appropriate. If anyone trustworthy wants to assist in keeping this clean, feel free to contact me ingame and offer your help. If you find this to be unsafe for children, don't complain and help fix it! Otherwise you are wasting your and other peoples time. Thank you.
