Homestead: There are legit brothels being formed

Almost took a screenshot, but decided against it.

Was on the Gold Coat and someone with a name kinda of like "Magic Mike" was advertising for his brothel guild called something close to "Diamond Daggers." He was looking for guild recruits and or customers for his large house that will no doubt be full of scantily clad digital people doing the Divines know what.

Anyway, this is more evidence of why we need a second part of the Justice system so we can form groups and break up these brothel rings.

ALSO: The scuttlebutt is that the reason they made the character limits for housing the way they are is because of the performance issues for the lowest specced PCs/Consoles so that if all 24 people decided to pair off and have 12 separate duel at the same time, the performance wouldn't suffer.

    That's weird because performance can suffer in a subzone from 2 people dueling - at least right when you enter it. The little apartments aren't even big enough to have a duel - or even move the camera around without getting dizzy.

    So how do I join the guild where I watch nekkid men dance?

    Curiously, I've noticed this on the PS4 NA side, too. Saw something very similar in Hew's Bane.

    Seems like Homestead just got interesting :*

    So...are you trying to tell me they intentionally limited the amount of people in a house to control the size of the Orgeez?

    *shrug* If people want to actually go and pay someone to ERP with them, as this "idea" sounds, then more power to them. As long as they aren't doing it out in public chat where I have to read said awkward ( probable ) sexual content, then I don't care what they do behind closed doors.

    Not the point I had in mind . . . but one could indeed make that judgement as you have done.

    Someone was advertising in zone the other night. I think it was 10k for a 5 minute ERP session guaranteed to get you off or half your money back.

    He was good, but not that good. ... I mean, I have never been so offended in my life. As if I would ever use a service like that.

    YES . . . people publicly ERPing should be flagged and allowed to be hunted down as criminals!!!! Just call it prostitution or some such. Although the possibility should be that you could pay the guard a certain amount of money that would get you a card allowing you to use the private room for "clients" in the inns

    If Zos turns on the Nord Beach Towel "underwear free option" for males (like a hide helmet toggle) then I might have to visit this player house for research.

    Ah, I thought you were expressing some kind of draconian moral opposition to the idea. My mistake, and thank you for clearing that up. I agree with all your points, mate.

    I'd like to preemptively offer my services as a notary public for those who wish to start their own legalized "entertainment" business from the comfort of their home. Fast, cheap, and legal; That's the Cadbury way!

    Remember, if you can't trust Richie Rich's former butler, who can you trust?

    I better not catch you lifting your skirt above your ankle . . . LOL JK

    Most of my characters are prolific thieves and lowlifes. I've even been approached by a character who wanted to be my "slave" so I told them to go out and fleece rich people of their money and send me a certain percentage. And it happened for about a week so that was good lol!

    Prostitution in any form is solidly in historical context a serious criminal act... unless performed in holy temples so the gods get their cut.

    I'd rather they do that in their own private instance than, say, in the tavern in Riften for all to see and hear. :|

    In the Roman Republic (and later Empire) prostitution was not only tolerated but state-sponsored as "a moral good." Experienced madames, or female brothel owners, were very powerful and important women, their position being one of the few ways women during that time could acquire power aside from marriages.
