Definitely not like that on Indomitable either. 

Excel or Everlasting maybe?   (And depending on what one means by NSFW)

I've gone thru PD and then noted what showed up in local & broadcast was a bit odd, but some could be attributed to out of context. (and some, definitely weird)

 

To avoid a zone for that?

On Virtue on Live, Pocket D could turn into a wretched hive of PDA and ERP sometimes.  Being as it was the roleplay server.

 

Which, I should note, I have no problems with people ERP'ing, but it shouldn't be on the public channels, and that did tend to happen at times on Virtue.  Don't think I ever saw any of that when I was on Justice.

 

I don't know if Everlasting has the same problem, because I don't have time to RP anymore so I play on Torchbearer here.

The only time I see anything get particularly NSFW it tends to be in /General more than everything else combined (most often when the topics of politics or religion come up). If people are talking in public channels of Pocket D, it's about events, AE missions, or iTrials.

I just wanted to comment as a new player, Pocket D on Everlasting is very well behaved and as someone that's roleplayed in a variety of MMORPGs it actually feels like I've traveled back in time to when MMORPGs actually had decent communities. I wanted to comment since this thread is likely being watched by the devs. My first impression remains the same: Roleplayers in Pocket D are friendly, polite and anything you might think of as ERP just doesn't exist in public channels. If actually you specify you're new player in your bio, half the bar will essentially baby you.

 

For what a stranger on the internet commenting is worth, this is honestly the most laid back and courteous scene I've seen in years. And I do mean years. If you thought Virtue was bad check out XIV, WoW, or any other FOTM MMORPG with an RP scene, the younger generation take hedonism to levels that make me nauseous. Everlasting in contrast to that is absolutely idyllic.

My experiences with the City of Heroes RP community on Live were generally very positive (and again, I have no objections to ERP being a thing - to be completely honest, I did a little bit of it back in my Virtue days myself - as long as it stays out of the public channels), but... there were definitely times back then when it got pretty out of hand.

 

So, I'm pleased to hear that isn't happening on Everlasting.
