Spotted this story on Kotaku this morning that gave me a good laugh.
Apparently one of the game’s GM’s (moderators) was caught red handed trying to have cybersex with another one of the players. In an act of duplicity worthy of a Chris Hansen To Catch a Predator episode, a male player posing as a girl playing a male character (confusing I know) recorded the entire conversation between himself and the GM. The conversation log, suffice to say, is simultaneously sexually explicit and unintentionally hilarious.
Honestly, I’m not sure what the GM was thinking. Even ignoring how sad and pathetic having cybersex in a MMORPG is, I’m not sure why he chose to get naughty with a gamers playing as a male character. Granted, the player in question did claim to be female, but I’m not sure that really negates the possibility of a latent sexual confusion or homoerotic fixation on the GM’s part. I mean, seriously, Age of Conan has naked boobs in it for a reason.
Also, it’s a common knowledge fact that girls don’t exist on the internet.
While I can’t say that my brief foray into the world of Age of Conan was hardly anything I would call incredible, one thing that did irk the hell out of me was how long it took a GM to respond to my requests for help. In World of Warcraft it sometimes takes quite a while for a GM to get back to you during peak server hours, but I’ve never had to wait three days before getting any sort of response from the game’s support staff.
I can’t help but wonder if while I was busy glitching in the plains Hyboria, the GM’s were busy getting randy with NaughtyKnives69 in the tropical swamps of the Purple Lotus.
Oh, and the GM in question was fired.

I also work as an electronic sales associate, meaning I sell Ipods and violent video games to your children when not trying to sneak off and play Super Smash Bros while the boss isn't looking. Oh, and I'm totally awesome. True fact.
