To the Admin of Empire Online, why is the general chat 24/7 filled with sex talk? Every few minutes i see kisses hugs touching here and there. is this game a sex chat game or what? I have my son playing this game and i am concern about the stuff going on in the public chat.
Shouldn't you have GM in game to control such behavior?
i've been sending screenshots regularly. but it doesnt seem to help at all. and previously we had suggestions like limiting the world chat to certain levels or charging for copper per post.. but none is being implemented.
I think there needs to be some kind of system implemented so that either responsible players can help regulate the chat or there needs to be some more GM interaction.
WC gets real raunchy sometimes - and it gets to be a bit too much.
lol turning on WC is like instantly hopping into a bad drama. so many OPed rpers trying to act tough as lv 1...thats not even how your supposed to rp in games. (ur supposed to act a they character ur rping as u lv up and play the game) not sit in WC at lv 1, thats called paragraph style rp n its meant for forums (n frankly with the poor rp skills some of these guys show they would be kicked outa those forums too XD)
the sex and such is pretty annoying too. it gets easy to see how you guys would be annoyed by such trolls. (im not but *shrugs* I have a high tolerance for stupid)
lol them kids are lame!!! I say limit chat to certain levels for ex lv10-20 or add a filter called All around chat or play chat for these crazy youngins also create a trade chat for items etc instead of world chat being the main chat :D
Instead of a few days of being muted, how about a fine that would have to be paid before the mute would be lifted?
Would it be possible to have a sliding scale?
1st time – 100 copper to unmute
2nd time – 100 silver to unmute
3rd time – 100 gold to unmute
Ive been pm 2 times about really dirty stuff .... I told em im 13 and they stop pm me, do something!
New spam this week, everyday one of the idiot's family member dies and cries on general chat... such annoying...
And yea, there is this Lesbian ID who PM female character for cyber sex...
Easy solutions
1. Turn off world chat option for your kid.
2. Lakoo installs mute button to block the chat of the person muted.
3. He is being exposed to this chat at school, in Internet, on Facebook etc... It's common for kids to act like kids and be immature.
4. Limiting world chat to lvl15 would be nice, but noobs do have questions so maybe have world chat for those under 15 and over 15.
I'd suggest to delete this game and bring your kids to parks or whatever.
To Lakoo,
This topic open for quite some time now. Question:
1) Did you ever get a solution to this? The longer you take, what you expected if there is more and more youngster play the game?
2) Brian Lakoo, you mentioned 'lol them kids are lame!!! I say limit chat to certain levels for ex lv10-20 or add a filter called All around chat or play chat for these crazy youngins also create a trade chat for items etc instead of world chat being the main chat :D' Can you explain what are you talking about? Or are you act as a user like us to give opinion and feedback to Lakoo on how to solve it?
Please reply
why isnt any lakoo staffs replying to our queries? failed customer service. please close down your forum.
Sorry to Brian Lakoo again. The question should direct to Lakoo then.
I just turn off wc. Its much peaceful. Wc is flooding with useless chat...I do not wanna drown.
NOT IMPERSONATING Lakoo lol That is my Facebook last name cuz if i create one with the last name dao my account will be deactivated Lakoo Make a Chillout chat for Weird sex crazed people a player chat etc or maybe send an admin or person to monitor for a bit and maybe ban some sex chatters since all they do is sit around and flood wc :D Cheers Lakoo ^_^
all i can say about the autor is kids are kids,,lakoo is not their fault if your kid do that to the game,i dont agree to the request that lakoo make a new rule for low lvls to like lv15-20 will not allowed to chat,i say that cause chat made to communicate to ask for help,,its up to the user to use it,,if ur kid do that then dont let him play this game,this game is for adult only,and what would you expect if anybody go to this online,...so dont bother lakoo you are a parent to guide your kid,,and i think its not only here he do that,
sorry i cant speak english well
Lakoo never take any responsibility on this issue still. As a developer, you should be take every responsible because you are the one who create the game and good or bad, you still have to take it. But it seems that you never do your job still.
@al-razhid jainal, parents is the high responsibility on these but you have to know that the developer should also on it because this is their game. You can't control those to play or not to play the game BUT you can prevent the things happen as in the solution to solve this issue. Means is Lakoo job still
this company isnt growing lol....
I just turned wc on for.the first time.. wow the stuff that thwy say. suprised nothing.is being done...
y dont u just hav some.in game enforcers voted by players or sometbing?... I use to play another game.and that seemed to work out for.them
The world chat is filled with kids talking about "rape","sexuality" and along the lines of this and then there are spammers who re post emoji over and over in places like orc and titan. It would be a fix to just turn off area and world chat but why should we? Please make a blocking function where if there is a spammer or "role player" or some who is cause problems a player can just block them, Still able to see them and pvp and so on but just not able to hear them.

...that's an expected lakoo answer...
Don't think Lakoo will bother on this topic. Let's just leave the sex chat to be there. End of the day Lakoo itself will get annoying with others and people will start leave the game. Keep it up Lakoo

Honestly dj, you are probablly better not posting anything than taking two seconds to post a generic response. We don't even know if you actually addressed this issue or saw something that needs to be replied too. A little proactivity goes a long way!
...and this is still an issue that needs to be dealt with.
First, I would like to remind people to keep in mind that staff like dj may not make the policy decisions at Lakoo and it can take awhile to implement solutions even once a course of actual has been decided :) We don't necessarily see the discussion conducted at Lakoo so as Rhastar2 says it may appear at times that things are not being addressed. Be patience and trust that Lakoo is considering the input :)
This is an involved issue and probably one of the hardest things any MMORPG with a chat function faces. As many people point out, ultimately responsibility for chat rests with the user (and parents). That said, it is important to make the chat feature as clean as possible to encourage player (and their parents) to support the game as a fun and safe source of entertainment.
Let me lay out a few issues as I see them before proposing a potential solution:
I favor making world chat (wc) a privilege to players once they reach lv20. Honestly, the tutorials are very good and most new players can easily figure out what to do if they take the time to read the quests and instructions from the NPC. Actually, I think having world chat open from lv1 encourages players skip the tutorials and just use wc and then get frustrated because no one answers basic questions that can be answered by reading and talking with NPCs. By making players reach lv20 before unlocking wc, people could no longer make lv1 characters and abuse the chat system.
I like the fee to un-mute idea. I think adding this would discourage repeat offenders. This part would be harder to implement unless Lakoo makes coding so that the game tracks number of mutes for a character and allows for automatic payment to remove the mute after a certain amount of time. Some people may say this is a little high but quite honestly people should not behave in a way that requires muting in the first place. Also, muting takes Lakoo staff time that could otherwise be used to work on game updates.
The area and wc timers take care of spamming in my opinion. Roleplayers would either need to join a roleplayer empire and use Empire chat or else moderate their wc behavior. The level limit would discourage trolls and the like since they could not easily do so with a new lv1 each day. It would also save Lakoo time by not needing to constantly mute or ban low level players.
Thanks for listening! Keep up the good work Lakoo, dj, and fellow Lakoo denizens :)
Alleluia
I think just Add an option to ignore what other player says... if u dont want to see people talking about kisses and sex just ignore... easy solution...
