Well, it saddens me, but even under premium graphics, you could still get your pleasure hub fix, by switching to classic.
But now with premium lite (nice marketing btw), the pleasure hubs are truly, and completely gone.
Gone.
Gone, is the Quafe girl.
Gone, is the roaring highway, under the ship docking area.
Gone is the offices that over looked the docking bays;
Gone are the friendly ads that assured us, our every pleasure could be satisfied at the pleasure hub.
All gone.
Lets raise our glasses and give the pleasure hubs, one last good bye.

Because under the premium graphics, presumably, the hedonists that frequent the pleasure hubs have all disappeared. They are no where to be found.
Apparently premium graphics is serious business - with no need need for Quafe girls and roaring highways!
Sad I know, but such is progress.

Online interaction is the chat you have with other players, the ESRB however is still valid on the material CCP puts in the game, like the graphics for the quafe girl and such. ---------------------------------- None of yet! |

I think that wording pertains to the fact that other USERS might be sexually explicit (and even then the company has to forbid such behavior and penalize it, but the rating points out that they can't PREVENT that). The dev provided content has to adhere to their ESRB rating.
ESRB ratings are serious business. A T rating on a game can mean MILLIONS more sales than if it got an M. Some stores won't even carrry games with an M rating.
I didn't think the Eve I played could get a T rating, but if my darn expansion download ever finishes I'll see if it has been properly kittified.

For many years, Germany always got localized versions with toned down violence. This seems to be fiscally solid.
Therefor I suggest making a localized version for the US, with toned down, well, I guess they call it nudity over there (despite the clothes).

I think you'd be surprised. Especially in the bible belt.
Plus, there are huge chains that do the censoring FOR parents.
If I were solely a Walmart shopper there are music CDs and movies my kids (and I) would never know existed. Many record companies have 2 versions of CDs. The artist version and the Walmart version. I imagine that the same censorship occurs in Walmart's gaming section.

I do think that the pleasure hub station interior was the coolest by far though and it would be cool to see it reintroduced to the premium graphics at some stage!

I liked you a lot more CCP before you decided to be so politically correct. The Quafe girl was a classic in EVE! 
Maybe we should start an Facebook pressure group with the intention of bringing the quafe girl back! I see Facebook pressure groups are highly "in" these days!

I would love to meet the people at ESRB. Definately need to buy them a drink or 12. Maybe get them to live a little. Soon, folks.. Things will change in our favor. Mature will be 15+, and Teen will be 9. Just keep feeding them McDonald's. "My oh my they grow up so fast..." they say.... See the irony. EVE. The most ambitious project on earth. |

I bought the retail version of the game in 03'. I'm looking at the box and it has an "Teen" ESRB rating on it.
That combined with the fact that looking at the box of WoW (yes I know) has the same rating, but unlike EVE which only lists "Violence" WoW covers "Suggestive Themes" under their "Teen" rating.
So theres definitely something else here at play.
But hey, I agree with Mitnal, a pixel noninteractable girl is inappropriate for teens. Now please excuse me while I undock in my pink ***** shaped spaceship with a cargohold full of prostitutes, exotic dancers, and slaves so I can go inject myself with drugs to make me better at murdering other people.

, with the slavery, drugs, thievery, even the wars and killing going on.
There are a lot of issues in game that need to be addressed, and frankly this seems to be a very small one. With the improvement (in some areas) of the graphics, some attention could have been paid to the in station graphics as well, and it's totally unnecessary to take away the highways, offices over docking bays, and ads in the stations AND the pleasure hubs.
Come on...

I don't want to deal with anyone under age 18 anyway. And lets face is, ALL the kids of age 14+ have seen porn - not just 3D graphic, but the real stuff. So there's no reason to pretend like EVE's protecting anyone's sensibilities.

I don't really want to bring this up again, but this seems like another stepping stone on CCP's gradual "pussification"/"carebearization" of the game. The older players have brought up this issue many times already, as it becomes more apparent with every patch. It's just sad to see CCP turn back on their original vision. I blame the new devs

I completely agree with everyone here that the current station interiors are drab and boring, the pleasure hub one was the one and only station interior that was any good, and since it has been removed eve has become the lesser game.
Get your arse in gear ccp, create some incredible station interiors, some interiors that show there is actually some life in eve, a world beyond the ships, something that shows there are things happening in these boring stations.
And from what I have seen from ambulation it looked pretty dead and sterile.

To bring a bit of levity to the thread the esrb didnt have anything to do with the perfectly fine original quafe girl getting axed but more a of lack of sufficient resorces to do the extra premium artwork. Maybe we will eventually get her back when ambulation hits?

Edit: I really hope that in order to get the ESRB's rating you didnt shackle the creativity of your developers. Whats next, removing boosters? Exotic Dancers? The Booze and smokes? WHERE WILL IT END!!
This. And I'm not laughing. How long before you get forced to re-write the chronicles (methods of torture anyone?) or before you start censoring the in-game news because it's so scary and ebil? Sorry but this just sucks bigtime.
If you want to turn EVE into the "teen friendly lala land" we all hate then at the very least give us an option to disable censoring features. In this day and age it shouldn't be very difficult to only allow access to chronicles and in-game news to people that are of age. And in the forum you can simply give us the option to disable the ******ed profanity filter.
Otherwise I might aswell go play WoW or HKO. 
Stop this damn censoring already!

The chronicles are probably safe, because they are text only and would require READING, something you can't really expect someone to do before judging something...
In any case - seriously, the picture in the first post - you can't tell me you thought that was something you should see in any online game that doesn't have mandatory age-checks?
All the other stuff in the game, slavers, prostitutes, whatever - their picture and text leaves much to the imagination - while that (faked) pic didn't.
If we'd all be adults, I'm sure even that picture wouldn't be a problem. But we aren't. The forums are proof enough.
Also, censorship isn't inherently evil. Sad as it may be, it is necessary. The less mature the society is, the more censorship is needed. |

Take it back to the Daily KOS you crazed lefty troll.
The link that was removed was to a photoshopped image of the station interior with the normal quafe girl replaced with some half-naked chick bending over and showing off her bits. OBVIOUSLY that would have to be removed. If you had even bothered to read the thread you would know this.

My former station was a "Quafe" station, and while I really liked it, I must say that it was a bit odd. It looked like you just landed in the middle of a plaza or a Mall. Not the best place for a ship. While sterile, the new interiors really look like a docking station. I'd only like more variety (a matching interior to every exterior.) But overall I like the change. I believe WiS will bring some of the missed "ambient" back to stations. And I still hope the dancers have a chance of appearing, since they are not naked, but are just suggestive (which is allowed in a T rated game, if I understand the rating correctly.)
BTW, CCP stated that they didn't want pilots dancing, not the go-go dancers. ----

Yes yes - we've heard it all before how puritanical we are in N. America (I'm Canadian, not American).
But for the sake of playing devil's advocate .. are you saying - "if it's not your standard - its crap?"
I think that's somewhat intolerant of you. Just because it's more strict doesn't make it wrong.

As someone pointed out however, that Europe has it's standards too, just more to do with violence than sex.
Thing is we have different standards.
Here's an example. Wear a fur coat in Canada - not a big deal. Wear a fur coat in Europe - anti-fur ****'s get after you.
Yet is that a double-standard? No, its a socially defined standard - and to the fur-****'s makes as much sense, as our sexuality standards.
The difference is, we don't buy into all of your standards, and don't expect you to buy into all of ours.

After reading this entire thread all I have to say is wow. I once was in reverance at the player base of Eve before coming to this part of the forums. I felt most players were intelligent, balanced people who could see from multiple points of view and made Eve a truly wonderful experience with their experience and knowledge of things in game and out. So far all I've seen here is *****ing and whining to the highest level about a very infinatly small part of the game, when compared to the whole. I admit, I liked that station too, but I'm not blaming far right christians or calling "sell out" on ccp. Get a hold of yourselves people, it's difficult to skin something like that station for premium, especially after all the other things they had to work with. And now with ambulation being finalized, you want to rag on CCP for this ****? Get the hell over it, honestly. If you don't like it, give me your stuff and get out. They have their own reasons for doing this, for doing everything really. If it works, fine. So far, it hasn't bothered me in nul sec, low sec or high sec. Seriously, get over yourselves.

Thats right - you can now raid with 40 people and get - Tech 4 BPOs!
Also CCP stated that its still grizzled space where pirates kill, women get ra*ed and generaly there is low chance of anyone surviving.
Also if you buy the box now you get a free epic mid slot module of choice - coming in variety of colors.

You guys need not worry. EVE will still have it's own pleasure-hubs in ambulation.
Just because the site is being stripped of thing deemed inappropriate for a Teen rating, that does not mean that those things will be stripped from the game.
WoW has plenty of scantily-clad devil women npcs that whip whip themselves (and sound pleasured by doing so). Some of the funny phrases you character can say contain sexual innuendos.
Hell, even Little Big Planet -- an E rated game -- has a strip club in one of the official storyline levels. -------------------------------------------------- Everyone is entitled to my opinion. |

This is really irritating.
Most Eve players are 20 or older anyway. Why would Eve, a dark, gritty game, go for a "T" rating, especially considering most of its players are not teenagers?
Age of Conan, while in most ways a failure, earned my respect for embracing an "M" rating and not watering down the subject matter in order to get more sales. A "T" rated game would have done a great disservice to Robert E. Howard's setting, and I think making Eve, while not using a classic pre-existing setting, would be better served by embracing an "M" rating and make the setting as dark and gritty as it should be.
In short, I think that trying to shoehorn a game that really should be mature by its nature into a "T"-rated game is selling out.

You mean, like ESRB? Yes, it's called PEGI. But the ratings are a bit different from those of ESRB. And European stores (as far as I know) do not discriminate adult material as American ones. And as someone pointed out, violence is more ofensive than nudity. After all, kids can see breasts at the beach every summer. 
Originally by: Kyra Felann Most Eve players are 20 or older anyway. Why would Eve, a dark, gritty game, go for a "T" rating, especially considering most of its players are not teenagers?
Because some stores in USA will simply not sell the game if it's rated M. If you want to reach the majority of retail you better be rated T. ----

I don't think it's been two years has it? I do agree, though. I was happy when I saw the blue bar next to this thread and then disappointed when it turned out that it was just a moderator removing a link. This does not bode well.
Can CCP tell us if the pleasure hub will eventually be back, or if it's gone for good? Having only one station interior for Gallente (not sure about the others) is kind of boring. The Pleasure Hub one was my favorite. It had that unique Gallente style--holographic advertising, bustling trains, etc--whereas the current one, while pretty, is kind of bland.

Really? Do you live in the USA? Because I do, and I don't know of any store that doesn't sell M-rated games. Certainly all major retailers sell them. Wal-Mart sells them. Gamestop sells them. Circuit City, Best Buy, and Fry's sell them.
Some of the biggest-selling games in the last few years (Halo 3, Grand Theft Auto 4) are rated "M".
I think you're confusing "M" with "AO".

Edit: But besides my confusion, it's true that some major retailers decline to sell M rated games. Read this interesting article called "New Study Finds M-Rated Games Sell Best" in Gamasutra. You'll find this part:
Originally by: Gamasutra Notably, according to the study, mature-rated titles, comprising 10 percent of all US retail games examined, have both the highest average MetaCritic scores and the highest average gross sales in the United States -- despite the fact that some major retailers decline to sell them.
It's evident that teens like M rated games. But some states put high fines if they catch a store selling M rated games to minors. And the problem with AO is worse still. So, to avoid problems most developers aim for T, I guess.
All of that seems pretty obvious to me. I can imagine that only non-gamers would think otherwise.
How did CCP get tricked into falling for teen rated restriction? was it because some of their marketing people pushing? maybe their investors pushing? maybe some outside influence bullied them into it?
Or are they just losing the gamer spirit and turning into another big faceless corporate machine?

Ratings are ratings. How ratings are enforced is a shame. There's nothing wrong with putting a label saying "this game is violent and contains nudity." It's a great help for parents (I'm happen to be father and I appreciate the help.) But stores refusing to sell AO games or even M games is not very wise. Videogames are still being seen as toys for kids. So the "harmful" ones need to be put away for their "safety." Yes, it's that stupid.
And please, don't feel ashamed for this kind of things. There are a lot of things in your country to be proud of. Don't let the bad parts shade the good ones.  ----

Age of Conan made it onto wal-mart shelves. They even had a special edition wal-mart box. So I don't see why anyone should think that anything like that would discourage sales. It had nudity, swearing, severing of heads with guts spewing out, and npcs that would do pole stripper dances at you in the quest dialogue.
If Age of Conan proved anything, its that people want more mature MMOs, it was near half a million subscriptions at its height of its basically 5 month life of being a real game. Thats huge for being out such a short time.
Eve needs more boobies.

All too typical, but to be expected. Once any game wants to go mass market, the "family friendly" hysterics have to be appeased, or you end up with problems from grandstanding politicians and self appointed busy bodies. Death and destruction are MUCH less offensive to such types, than some harmless T&A. But such is the way of the world. <shrug>

If thats so, why couldnt we get a reply tellings us thats the reason its not ingame today, or if its because of something else,it would help stop the rampant speculation going on in here. And I find it hard to believe that the reason it was taken out was becuase it violated a t-rating, as there have been plenty of posts over the past year asking for it to be returned. And afaik as I know pre-trinity there where 5 station interior 1 amarr, 2 gallente, 1 minmatar and 1 caldari, why couldnt they have instead of removing the pleasure hub one, add 1 more for the other races? * goes off to start a online petition...

Simple, really. CCP wanted to maximise sales, and a high proportion of gamers and also a high proportion of existing EVE players are American, and many stores in Jesusland a.k.a. Bible Belt America won't stock anything higher in the age scale than T because of the utterly outdated Puritan attitudes of many who live there.
Or to put it another way, the Puritan God-botherers of the Moral Minority win AGAIN.
