Whorecraft Starlet Suspended from WoW

Kotaku is reporting about a Whorecraft star being suspended due to someone else's actions in-game. Now, I'm not entirely interested in the whole real life porn meets video games idea, but to suspend someone over something that wasn't even their fault is ludicrous.

Kotaku wrote:

Mia Rose, hardcore gamer and pornstar, who appeared in several episodes of World of Whorecraft, told Kotaku that she was banned from the World of Warcraft over the weekend after a fan recognized her and mentioned her webiste in a public chat channel.

This leads me to something interesting that happened while we were at BlizzCon interviewing some of the costume contest entrants. It turns out that two of the "night elf druids" were actually women from World of Whorecraft. This of course led to some obvious video edits, since they advertised their new website in the interview as well - which we can't really show on Curse - but it was a good interview none the less.

We interviewed quite a few of the entrants and even some exhibitors who play WoW, so we'll try to get those interviews done soon.

var FO_120 = { movie:"http://dev.curse-gaming.com/static/flash/flvplayer.swf", width:"625", height:"360", majorversion:"7", build:"0", bgcolor:"#FFFFFF", allowfullscreen:"true", flashvars:"file=http://videos.cursebeta.com/stream2/premium/580.flv&autostart=true" }; $("#flvplayer_120").click(function(event) { UFO.create(FO_120, "flvplayer_120"); $(this).unbind('click'); });

Nimloth took time today to write a recap in his blog about the interview as well.

Just to note, I don't believe the person suspended was at BlizzCon; the two females there commented that their characters were fairly low level.

Now on to my question; why did World of Warcraft become so accessible to porn? You've had modifications to client files in games in the past, but how many games can truly be credited with having live-action pornography created, centered around the game? I surmise that it's simply the sheer number of people playing the game; you're bound to find someone from every walk of life playing.

That said, I really hope Miarose gets her account status fixed, because it's incredibly silly to suspend someone like she was.

    Wow you really dont get it do you?

    I couldnt care less who youre boffing for what amount of money. Thats your business. My issue with you, Mia is that you used your own acting name in the game then claimed innocence when people recognized you. What in the hell were you thinking? Or were you thinking at all? If you really wanted to keep who you are in real life under wraps, Im pretty sure you could have come up with a better name.

    As far as banning you? I dont know all the details, but I'll say one thing: The person who spammed your site should be banned as well.

    I suggest keeping a lower profile in the next game you join.

    Best of Luck

    I cannot see any good reason for suspending this woman's account. As long as she doesn't advertise her adult materials in-game, she should be as free to play the game as any of the massive number of gold farmers. This seems more like some kind of retaliation on Blizzard's part.

    I personally think that Blizzard has on numerous occasions, banned and deleted threads and players with no congruency whatsoever, while permiting flagrant insults and open hostility towards many minorities (homosexual community, black community). So it's ridiculous that they would ban someone for someone else's posting.

    The company moderators have always been mediocre, misleading and unprofessional, engaging in insulting condescending and superioristic attitudes, (naming fangtooth, drysc and of course, tseric).

    I recommend the company to do a better job at adminsitrating justice on their forums.

    Orky, Akama horde.

    FYI

    Mia's Story hit fark.com today.


    I personally hope she gets her account back and she doesn't leave the server.

    I think some of you are jumping the band wagon and flaming Mia just because, whether the reason is she is a porn star, you secretly wish you could get some action or because it is the only way you get to interact with one. Adult celebrity status is a fickle thing, especially when dealing with a crowd of horny teenagers. Then theres the other side of the fence; the people who will defend her up to the high heaven just because she does what she does. I'm sure both are types of people she has learned to deal with, particularly given the situation she is in.

    I also think Mia used poor judgement in using her name and proof of identity for whatever reason. If she wanted to remain anonymous, it is not a hard thing to do over the internet. If your career is as controversial as an adult movie actress and you divulge your antics to a crowd of younger gamers, well, expect to have controversial reactions.

    Does that make the 'witch hunt', as this resembles so clearly, justified?

    No, it does not.

    I do not know exactly all the specifics on her suspension to make a statement as to the just or unjust account action on Blizzard's behalf, other than that it seemingly appears that action got action taken based on another person's linking in public chat. As I stated on Kotaku, I have invited Mia to private message me the exact details around this event and form an opinion as to wheter or not she was treated maliciously by the GM based on that.

    As for the rest of you;

    Feel free to discuss this topic but keep in mind that this is not the WoW forums where you can sling personal attacks and profanity around as if you're Rick James. Keep it civil and within our rules and all will be well :]

    @MiaRoseXXX

    Thanks for taking the time to register to reply, i took the time to edit your website link in the passive quote tho, we got teens that are reading Curse, hope you'll understand.

    • Quote* I find this post amusing but I'm having a hard empathizing with a celebrity (be it a porn celebrity) who uses her full name as her character name in WoW and then gets "unwanted" attention.

    She also obliquely advertised her myspace page. *End Quote*

    Found this on Kotaku, you MIGHT wanna go flame on this guy a little too... since you didn't post your website (according to you), and a myspace IS your own personal site. Thought everyone knew that, or did you forget that detail to make your "argument" more feasable? Kinda sorry I came back to here just out of morbid curiosity, wouldn't have been lured into this pitiful little spat.

    .... Tob... All I can say to you, is... 1.) your seemingly endless rant is not justified with out a screen shot...

    I know that Link Removed by FuF WAS NOT TYPED by me at all. Period. It actually was posted nurmious times, by an account with the name of something like "bubblious?" I said to check out my myspace.

    I am never rude to anyone, I am never mean to anyone, nor disrespectful. I am usally the first to help when someone needs it, with out asking questions. And the response to me using MY name for my toon, is hate.... whore this, slut that, attention whore.... on and on... I don't ever say "look at I'm a pornstar...look!" anything I say in live chat, is soon followed by "look at that bitch bla bla bla, omfg your such an attention whore" .

    .... :: sigh :: YOU ARE GIVING ME THIS ATTENTION. btw. WoW players, not myself, made a huge deal about my toons name.

    If you are so against me, then please, /ignore. I have taken full advantage of that feature, its great. If you don't want to ignore it, and continue to post cowardly put downs directed at me.... Fine. But know that you are in fact a coward for remaining nameless / faceless.... And I would add the word, fool the that statement. ((( Just incase you don't know )))

    fool (noun)

    1. One who is deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding. 2. One who acts unwisely on a given occasion:

    Think what you will.... But, if you have anymore negitive responses, try to be an adult and keep them to yourself.

    So what? Its obvious I

    As incredibly silly as any of you think it is for her suspension, I think it justified. I was in trade chat when SHE herself linked her own website in response to a few people saying she had an ugly face and a horribly ugly nose. She got offended and her feelings got hurt because there were ppl who didn't want to lick her feet and hump her leg with attention, so she felt it necessary to link her site as "proof that she got a nose job". Grats to her for being a complete idiot in being so very sleazy with her profession and stating what it was and even naming herself after herself to get attention even more! She deserves what she gets and she shouldn't get preferential treatment just because she does what she does. I save baby seals and seaguls when they get trapped in oil spills, but doing that doesn't make me more righteous nor does it make me more of a candidate for a less harsh sentence should I break any rules Blizzard set up to keep the game clean and fun. I've said my piece, I won't be back here to check comments, yes I play Horde, yes I have a 70, no I won't tell you the name. Say what you will, but she got all the attention Mal'Ganis has to offer, quite a few have had their fill of her moronic blather (as you'll most likely call my rant, but say as you must) it's time she moved on..... to Alliance hopefully.

    Actually the average age of wow players is around 25 or so. http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/archives/001365.php

    Many of us have played MMORPG since Everquest and some even longer but we do have children and they play too. Personally I think blizz over reacted but it is their game. She will most likely do as many suspended players have, if she loves the game, level another account.

  • #11

    Her penetration stat is significantly lower than I expected it to be.

    I was talking as a whole if you where to take a large selection of people from your realm that are casual raiders pvpers etc. and asked them their age you would find they would be around the 18+ mark, and not 10-16.

  • #13

    The game is rated T for teen. That said, there should be a warning that says "Game experience may change." just as any other MMOG out there. They rate the actual content of the game - the experience each player has with other people can and probably will change from person to person.

  • #14

    If you want me to take you seriously, learn to spell.

    10-16 year olds? Get a clue.

    and I got my information from an unofficial realm forum poll. where the majority of players are 18-21.
