Free Realms Insanity

terryclothFree Realms' language filter is out of its fucking mind. It doesn't just do substring censorship, it ignores whitespace, so you'll type something like:
"something blue, or all blue thingies?"
and see
"so####ing blue, #####l blue thingies?"
Yes, they censor 'oral' but not 'thingie'.
It really puts you in a dirty mindset to have the game going 'heheheh, you said 'oral'' all the time.
That's not the insane part, though. The insane part is that all numbers are UNCLEAN. '1', '2', '3', 'one', 'five', etc. All bleeped out. So if you want to do any conversation involving numbers (and in an MMORPG, this happens surprisingly often!) you have to use roman numerals.
"Woah, we really got our ###es kicked. Maybe we should come back at level XV."
"Geez, I need to hit sanctuary, I've got LCXIV treasure tickets sittin#### my inventory."
"Argh, what's the roman numeral for ######?"
Also, bizarrely, they bleeped out 'me co'. I don't know what 'meco' means as a curse word.
