Funcom has corrected some previous information that led to unseen levels of nerd rage on their AoC forums as nipples were initially said to have been nixed in the US version due to the ESRB ratings board and legal reasons.

But Crom be praised, it was merely a slight communication mixup internally!

It has come to our attention that the North American edition of the game was submitted (by Eidos) to the ESRB without any server-side censorship:

-full blood

-full fatalities

-breasts with nipples

-not full nudity

The ESRB reviewed our application and gave us a rating of Mature 17+. The full rating with descriptors has not yet been publicly announced but will be
posted on the ESRB web site on 13 February 2008.

Funcom apologizes for this small error (or maybe two small errors.)

No full nudity though, guess you can’t have it all can you?
