Okay, so I been playing and talking in chat, and started to notice, some of unsual words are getting censored for me in chat, but on the head of player i see word normal yet in chat i see it censored, for example, monkey, jack, sack, lick, like i dont see any reason for them to be cencsored in chat and i can see them on top of player, yet words like D(male part) S** and Por* all them i see them normal (notice i just added dots on my own). So i want to know what is problem and i want it to be solved. Also it happens to every single character i own. So far i am only one who have this probelm, but with all my characters in the account and other accounts too. (i would of provided photo, but my laptop have issues with memory so i cant save photos on my laptop).

    Because in some cultures, the words are swear words, so they are in the filter. Look up the definition for grasshopper sometime. It's the name for a rather common bug in English, but it also has a couple of negative connotations, so they decided to add it to the filter list.

    grasshopper is my favorite censored word. It is funny though because tbh pwi has a pretty good filter in place. One of those things they did a good job on.

    I can type those in chat endlessly and they're never censored.....

    Brings a whole new meaning to Patience Young Grasshopper, don't it? But this isn't a bug and is an intended feature.

    -medicine- is censored but -bing bong singalong- and -rooster booster- isn't.

    Aaaaah, the days when that one nirvana boss was so vulgar, he had to be censored as well.
    Good times.

    But even the NPC's say things like Bas**** reading the dialogue for the quests you'd be amazed at the swears in there but yet they censor the ones in chat.
