Client Update & Chat Enforcement Changes

Hello everyone,

This morning we released a new client with various fixes. The key changes are name censor enforcement and chat censorship.

First of all, I want to apologise to anyone who was offended or annoyed by the lack of name or chat enforcement since the server launched. We should have been better prepared in this regard — both the name censor and the dictionary-based chat censor are now live.

These changes do not, however, fully solve the rule enforcement challenge when it comes to the overall topics and tone of chat. I personally don't want to act as a chat policeman, getting pulled into endless debates over whether something broke a rule. Those conversations take time away from working on real problems and future content additions.

To help streamline things, I am trialling an AI-powered chat filter — currently running in monitoring mode only, with no enforcement yet. Once I'm confident it's working well, it will go live and enforce chat rules automatically. I will do my best to keep it fair and not overly sensitive. It will be tuned for an adult audience, but it will ensure RSCR2 remains a welcoming place to play around the clock.

I again apologise if the vibe in-game has felt too toxic at times. I hope these changes help everyone feel welcome to stick around and play long-term.

How chat and name censor works:
Some words will be starred "***" or the word will be replaced with a different one.
Offensive character names will not be allowed to login, they will need to do a name change on the Character Manager. Name change will be free of charge.

It all looks and sounds good.

I just hope we are able to discuss adult content which is non offensive to most of the gentlemen which play here, while respecting player boundaries around sensitive topics.

I left a private server due to over policing, it sounds like the Admin team here doesn't want that either.

Cheers

Honestly, I wasn't offended by the names or use of slurs. It was mostly the lack of creativity. It gets boring after seeing the fifth character named with a hard r.

So glad to see this post.

I was genuinely shocked seeing some of the usernames and conversations. I can't imagine how one particular group from the Eastern Mediterranean must have felt.

This clears up a lot of the questions I was asking myself. There are good people running RSCR. Thanks for all your hard work! Looking forward to a friendlier atmosphere.

The only thing toxic is ruining launch allowing bots to run rampant

Can we get the classic batch counter that was a moveable window?  The old style is a lot better IMO than the new one.

Will a list of words be displayed somewhere for reference? I know in Britain you can be arrested for speech, that might help UK players.
