To start off the week on Uncensored, we’d like to promise you that this will be the last day that we’ll cover Huntgate (excluding any official news or statements). It was bad, but the story is told at this point and we really would like to be able to switch over to more fun stuff, like Module 15! So if you’ve heard enough, you only need to survive today. There’s still some stuff to go over regarding the ban wave and the first news is actually of a more serious note.

Folks, doxxing is on the top of my “you’ve lost any chance of legitimacy with me” list. You promote or help promote that shit (including passively) and I’m done believing in any good faith attempts. — Julia Fredrickson (@trianakvetch) September 24, 2018

Did Players Issue Threats at Devs?

The above tweet was sent yesterday evening and the timing very much suggests that it’s related to Huntgate. It wouldn’t be the first time that players went over the top in protesting ingame happenings. Devs working for World of Warcraft for example got real-life threats for “messing up the story” in “Battle for Azeroth”. If you feel like bringing ingame issues to the real world, Neverwinter’s Community Manager has a clear message: They’re done with you at that point. Granted, it’s the personal account of the CM and might be non-game related or refer to an earlier incident. So you can’t be sure.

For those that feel they have to voice their opinion loud and clear, you can still do it, you know? Uncensored for example long ago established something that we call “do not go beyond the username”. We freely talk the game around here, which can be bashing, bitching, and whatnot, but anything personal is off limits. That includes racial or gender-specific slurs and obviously any information tied to actual people. We feel that’s a great guideline on how to allow free talk that doesn’t cross any lines.

Anyway people, what happens in the digital world stays in the digital world. Isn’t that what they say?
