Tag: Guild emblems

I’ve always said that developers/publishers should not punish the entire community for the actions of a small group. Now, I hadn’t taken a full look at the TERA guild emblems I posted (which were essentially dumped from a folder on my hard drive) until I started writing this article, but lo and behold I found a penis in the pile. Unsurprising in the highest order. In Europe, however, TERA publisher Frogster has taken upon itself to disable the feature entirely for everyone for the time being.

We had to remove the possibility to use custom guild emblems, as there were cases of inappropriate pictures.

The emblems aren’t gone forever, just until Frogster is able to filter them.

We haven’t just removed the guild emblems without contacting Bluehole Studios. We’re working together with them on this problem, and try our best to find a way to censure/filter inappropriate images.

Community Representative Sealath also explained that the publisher also has an issue with the logos being saved to the local hard drive.
