New erotic MMO "Spend The Night" targeted at women

I'm gonna try to keep this post as tasteful and clean as possible, so some of my substitutes may sound a little silly.

Anyway, yes, that's right, at long last there is an MMO for all you hot-blooded youths out there; this game is all about finding that perfect someone, going off to a hotel room, and enjoying some sweet sweet lovin'.

But don't worry, Republik is also including support for gender orientation, so if you're, er, chasing after pants instead of skirts, or just want to try out what it would be like, this game is also for you!

The image “http://www.next-gen.biz/images/stories/Screenshots/spend%20the%20night.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Does this picture excite you? Well, soon you'll be able to be taking part in that intimate moment... and more.

This isn't the first time a game has had sexual intercourse content. The only one I can think off offhand is Furcadia, which has content that, well, leaves me absolutely speechless (warning, explicit content).

Now in recent months we've heard a lot about guys playing MMOs as Night Elves or whatever and talking all hot and dirty to get cool items as gifts—good on them, I say, if you're stupid enough to give gifts to someone just because they've used a low-poly female avatar you deserve to be taught a lesson—but what will we see with this game? Now for me, and I'm sure most straight guys out there, to play as a girl with a guy coming onto me, um, er, yeah. Dirty.

But faking your gender does give you another option. If you're a guy who likes lesbo action, just play as a girl and find another hottie. Really, the possibilities of people misleading others by choosing a gender or orientation in order to have exactly the sort of interaction they want is... disturbing.

But the main thing is that they're targeting this mainly at women. Now women have traditionally had to get storytelling from Mills & Boone (or similar) and visual acting-out from The Bold and the Beautiful, but now they can have it all at once, as long as they get a guy to play along.

No doubt there will be "story" servers that are like a soap episode, as well as "action" servers that are like a whorehouse.

I can harldy imagine what the update patches are going to contain. Having seen a variety of Milles & Boone covers at the library on the way to the magazines section I think the downloads are going to be fascinating. Women seem to be able to get off to pirates, vicars, cowboys, foreign cousins, and all sorts. Not to mention, um, things made of leather or PVC. So there's certainly a lot of value for money as far as the update patches go.

I do wonder how many guys they'll get wanting to act things out. I mean if you're a fan of text adventures this is no doubt right up you're alley, but if you're itching to get to the cybersex part of this new medium then it's going to be a little frustrating.

One can only wonder if the actual, er, "act" part of the game is going to be a cutscene or if it will in fact be something like Hot Coffee.

Anyway, if it succeeds, well, maybe the next The Sims game will be a clone of this or even a spinoff... hmmm...

I can't predict if this will succeed, but it will greatly depend on how many guys actually want to spend the time to roleplay. And if you're willing to do that just to have sex with another person, you seriously need a girlfriend as fast as possible. It may come out to vaguely the cost of a Playboy subscription, but it's just... weird.

Anyway Jack, now it's your turn. Extract your dentures from Rockstar's shoulder (if you can, they're pretty deeply embedded) and sink 'em into this little gem. Of course children won't be able to have prolonged access to this content, but at the very least the demo period will lead to some psychological damage. Cool. —Garrett
