Cybersex, Prostitution and the Inevitability of Sex - MMO Dark Secrets
Some people support our entire culture, because it is based on primal instincts and is determined by the difference between the sexes. We are not going to ponder this issue, but rather consider its manifestations in MMO RPG.
A small trifle for beginners: sex workers have existed in the MMORPG genre since its inception. Don't believe it? The creators themselves Ultima Online confirmed that the very first profession in their game was not to fight, not to use magic, or to be an alchemist, which is usually associated with RPG mechanics. One of the first players of this game got an empty property and quickly set up a prostitution ring. A simple business that exchanged payments for bowing and sexting proved to be very profitable. With this anecdote, we began a story about cybersex, vices and debauchery in online video games.
Sex, drugs and rock and roll
Star Wars Galaxies. One day, in a galaxy far, far away, a player decides to become a pimp. He made a real fortune by creating a set of additional characters that other players would hire for a fee. He was always there, always accompanied by his impatient staff.
After making the payment, the player was able to take the chosen character to a secluded area and enjoy some virtual delights (like, you know, lying on the ground with a different type of tea bag?) So if you want to think that an MMORPG is a safe haven, try to avoid dark alleys because you might find some really weird stuff. And remember, you never know who is actually playing a particular virtual character - a real woman or a dude. Or not - you decide.
