A rather interesting announcement from the blues in the US, they will be randomly patrolling Goldshire on Moon Guard to crack down on ERP, or at least overt ERP and all it’s associated problems. Unless they’re willing to perma-ban players or cancel accounts I’m not convinced they’re going to achieve anything. ‘Sensible’ ERPers are already doing this stuff in out of the way places and in /p or /w, the morons who insist on broadcasting their cybering to the area are fulfilling another kink which is being exhibitionists without actually doing anything more than bashing some keys. They love the idea of being dirty and flirty in public, put them in the situation in real life, most of them would run faster than a puma with it’s tail on fire. It’s why they congregate in Goldshire on most realms (alliance side, I’m not sure where the cow fanciers head).
So likely upshot of this, some publicity for Blizz showing that they’re cracking down on the problem, possibly cleaning up Goldshire on Moon Guard but like the sewer rats they are they’ll just move on and create a new nest somewhere else.
