Let's be honest here, we all know this is going to happen in the back alleys of RP servers. Happens in WoW, happens in Guild Wars, happens in EVE Online, happens everywhere.
Why not just make a server or two for it? (Or zones, if you're going that route.) You don't have to name them "SEX DUNGEON" or anything - something classy and understated, maybe, like how "massage parlour"s work.
Plus, it would be great for all the Shelyn/Lamashtu-worshipping roleplayers.

I would support a 'MATURE 18+' server for sure, if only to say that it's strictly for adult audiences. Personally, I probably wouldn't care to play on such a server as I believe a persons age doesn't have all that much to do with their maturity, but I know there are a lot of people who do care about this stuff - entire 'mature' guilds exist who don't care for younger members.
As for the adult themes players choose to get themselves involved in... I'm not judging but it's not for me.

I don't care if people do it in any case, as long as it's on a private channel and I don't have to hear how the half-orc is assaulting the gates with his "Grond".
...
I think it's a good idea. I would rather not have that sort of thing in my gaming, as I find it to be rather distasteful, and I'm sure many feel the same way. A separate server where they can do that stuff would allow those of us who dislike this sort of thing to enjoy the game without having to watch a bunch of cybersex.

Seriously, there is no way this is happening.

I'm not so sure this is a troll topic. I see merit in the idea.

Ah ERP. Where two frumpy middle aged men con each other into believe the other is a hot young teenage girl.

Two middle-aged nerds, surrounded by Star Wars posters. One slowly chews his pizza, hot cheese tenderly kissing the edges of his flourishing neckbeard.

On-topic, i suspect the odds of this are close to nil. Doing so would require a branding of the product with Mature/Adult rating tags and i suspect they will seek to be lower then that if possible for a larger audience.

I'm almost certain that a 18+ server dedicated for this would hurt more than it could ever help. To me it makes the game seem less mature and more perverse. I think that the best solution is to keep the game such that I wouldn't feel like I would have to hide it from my teenage brothers. If someone wishes to proclaim publicly that their "half-orc is assaulting the gates with his 'Grond'." I would rather them be directed out of the game.

This. And besides, you can always leave your ERP into private message levels, like most smart online RPers...

I dunno man, half the fun of it is new people entering the tavern and adding their own spin on things. Like improv, or LARPing.

Part of me wants to be a founding member of the Pitax Streakers' Guild. But I'm sure those "artists" already have several.
However, I'm totally on board with "adults only" servers/areas. Not necessarily to undress the elven priestess and then see just how flexible the game system is (also the priestess).
I just want to be able to play my characters without lots of ********* replacing what I typed. I'm not saying all my characters swear, but some do, and it would be nice if I could play such a character without having to pussyfoot around some cockeyed restrictions on what I say.
I mean, this isn't Middle Earth.
I removed some posts. I realize it's tempting in this thread, but let's try to keep things family-friendly, eh?
I removed a couple posts. Do not make hateful statements.

a 30/40+ server for us, old timers, that used to play with computer games with a joystick and one button, and still feel uncomfortable with 12 buttons joypads, hot keys and 90% of the jargon posted in these threads?
I put on my robe and wizard hat.
This is one of the funniest things I've ever read.
This game will largely sell to an American audience. Right now we(the US)are a country where you can show blood, gore, and dead bodies on CSI, but one nipple slip during a Super Bowl and half the country goes crazy.
Best to let those who want to participate keep it in the back alleys. To have the company officially endorse suggestive sexuality in the current nation's climate will kill the game before it's launched.

Because verisimilitude is nigh-invulnerable in one's game of pretend until icky emotions and intimacy take a greater role than mutilation, evisceration, and grievous bodily harm.
It's not my game, but were it so, I'd allow for it. There's a market. It need not be the most open, acknowledge, or remotely primary market, but if one's IP is so vulnerable that it cannot handle the application of life-affirming happenstances, then there's something fundamentally wrong at the conceptual level well before one's herds of migrant murder hobos venture forth from their homes in the first place.
...unless you're playing myconids, or some other form of asexually reproducing non-dimorphic entity. Which, at that point, I don't know what to tell you.
Not that I do not disagree with a Mature rated server(s), it will never happen because there is no way to effectively control the under 18 crowd and the ensuing lawsuits that would follow because the parents are not watching little Johny's Internet usage.

Agreed, the best option would be just to make rules to limit potentially offensive conversation to private channels/housing.

Age of Conan is a Mature-rated MMO (the only one). So it's not going to never happen because of minors and their overworked parents who don't monitor them. It won't happen because Mr Wertz and, presumably, other people at Paizo don't want to see Pathfinder used in this manner officially--there will almost assuredly still be "Mature"-rated interactions going on between players, but there's a reason that all MMOs have a tag on their box that says that gaming experiences may change while online.
