THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR USING THE N-WORD IN STARMOURN, IRE

This is reprehensible. The N-word in Starmourn:

Proof that it wasn't just a typo:

Whose idea was this? This is a serious question. Someone needs to cop to actually, willfully typing this into the game and thinking it wasn't a bad idea.

I was uncomfortable with PORN and FACIAL but this is downright racist.

I can't continue to support IRE after this.

    You really think someone manually typed every single word from the dictionary (that's the list of possible passwords, jsyk) into the code?

    Lol, tho.
    eta: Double lol if you think the sexual definition of 'facial' is the only definition.

    It... literally pulls from a dictionary...
  • TectonTecton
    Wow, yeah, it does pull from a precompiled dictionary of many hundreds of thousands of words. Obviously, we didn't check every possible word there, but yeah, wow, I'm sorry that this was in there, and you had to see it. Obviously in no way intentional, I'll do some refactoring right now so that it won't happen again.

    I imagine someone will be going through the dictionary file with a fine-toothed comb in short order.

    I think it is a little unnecessary to go from 0 - 100 with the accusations on Starmourn, and IRE, as a whole. Especially when they're so open and receptive to feedback and ensuring player's happiness as much as they can. Things like this slip through, a simple, "Hey. Is this intentional?" Would suffice. If the response is, "Yes." Then get on your tirade, by all means.

    Thanks for all the work, staff, and for being so prompt in handling major issues like this. <3

    Let's not beat this to death. It was unintended, and it's being fixed.

    Anyone that uses the word "reprehensible" and means it deserves to be roasted.

    Anyways, I did some filtering on the dictionary and cleared out a bunch of bad words, apologies again for this ever happening.
