Rating Pending - Guild Wars Forums

I have some questions about the rating of this game:

I havent yet had the chance to play the beta, so...
I wanted to know what i can expect the rating of this game to be. If it is going to be T or E, then i'm golden.

But if it becomes rated M, then i would like to recomend that the developers create an option to turn off any serious Blood and Gore effects involved in the game. That way, im sure more people who are minors whould still be able to play.

Lemme hear your opinions...

The game has no blood or gore implemented yet anyway, only cadavers. So it passes or wha? Dunno how ratings work, but I think cadavers is more offensive then blood... silly american censorship

Hey, your right, the rating is right there...

Not only ESRB.
Here in Canada almost all american movies are given at least a rank lower. "Devil's Avocate", for example was given 16+ instead of R and the british-made "Love Actually" was given 13+ instead of R (the movie had partial nudity

. Riiiiiight, let's rate a romatic comedy R and a movie with glorious decapitations T.)

There was blood and gore in the E3 version.

Pools of blood left on the floor after anything died, blood spurts.. It was removed again after the event ended though, probably to retain a T rating.

Yea it sucks.

Well, it just shows you why we're making war not love. Sex is always BAD. Everyone knows that no one is naked under their clothes. That would be wrong. But mayhem, gore, and killing is GOOD. Or at least not as threatening to our society as rolling around in the hay. Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex. There.

Very true. Decapitations + no sex allowed = population in check.
