Are you kidding me? An ad for an orgy? Holy crap what has this world come to... For those who don't know what an orgy is it's a wild sex party :P

There was an ad for a Roman Orgy too. I presume Orgy here means an act of immoderate or frenzied indulgence, referring to the game. Hence ''Odin Quest''.

Ad creators will go to any means necessary to bring new players, sad but true.

Orgy doesn't strictly mean what you defined it as. It also refers to partaking in excess i.e. binging.

Same a idea as this 'riddle':
Four letter word referring to a female:
Aunt

Hmmm. On wikipedia it says this. ;:::::::;

But if it is binging which means self-indulgence it wouldn't be talking about food would it? As this in my opinion is a different kind of indulgence xD

Binging would be about food or drink usually. :X

First off:
Wikipedia is not a dictionary. People need to understand this. People also need to understand that Wikipedia is the first place to go when you're flummoxed. It helps when you is it as an aid and not your default source of information.
Secondly:
Just because a word is commonly used to describe certain thing(s), that does not pigeonhole the definition to such.

Okay. I have considered this. I understand now. But other people may look at it the wrong way ;P

However, in this instance, where we can see a busty scantily clad woman, I think that the most-used definition of the word is what the creators of this ad intended.

Most people will take it the wrong/more commonly used way

It'd be like having an ad for a game where you farm roosters and chickens that says "want to play with some *insert c-word for male genitalia here*?"

She is dressed like most people stupid understanding of armor in fantasy games, leaning strongly on the "wear less for best defense" idea that people have. Mostly though, designers do that to attract males to the game because the vast majority of the gamer society still consist of males up to this day.

But yeah. She doesn't wear convenient armor like a real warrior would. She is pretty much dressed like a ****.

That said, it been said that the word "orgy" doesn't necessarily mean "group sex" as most people would perceive it. In Roman time, orgies were common place and they were pretty much the description of the overindulgence in food and alcohol. Knowing this, it is easy for me to understand that's what they meant by it.

Now, I don't condone the ad. I don't think this kind of ad has its place on a gaming site on which minors can easily have access to.

Yes... And by minors you mean under 18? Or under 13? Cause literally anyone can go on the site :P

I don't know where you live but here, you're major from 18 onward.

Should be 21 onward really, but that's how it is.

Also..with the orgy definition and all...a majority of the users on here are quite young, I think that is safe to say. Now, pray tell, how many of these young kids on the interwebs do you think know the original definition of orgy? I think most would only know orgy by its definition now..
