Conan Exiles Role-Play Servers - PSA
This is not something that I do lightly, but it is something that needs to be said, and i hope that people in the Conan Exiles RP community as well as the online gaming community at large spread the word about this. Harassment of any kind is never okay, particularly sexual harassment as I have experienced when being part of the Conan Exiles community and it has led me to quit playing the game entirely.
I specifically want to warn people about an individual who is currently part of at least two well known role-play servers on Conan Exiles; Secrets of Reintora and Old Guard D&D. He is a sexual predator with a known pattern of coercing women in and out of character. His characters' names vary but some that I know of are Kaladen/Kiladen Hillman, Durvain Gallowed, and Wrag Irontoe. He also told me that he used to play World of Warcraft as well.
This man's behavior is extremely coercive and in my case he became a close friend, taking advantage of that friendship over Discord to send me extremely sexual messages over text, as well as at least one voice call where he pressured me into a sexual act that I did not want to do, but I gave into his advances because I felt as though I had no other choice, an act that I can best describe as a sort of 'guided masturbation' where he asked to "See the fingers you just pleasured yourself with" when I was done. I refused to do so, and ended the Discord call, while feeling very disgusted and realizing that he was only doing this for his own sick, twisted pleasures even though he claimed to me that he wanted to help me relieve stress, this is a pattern of his - offering stress relief to women. He also confessed to me that he is possibly a ‘sex addict’/‘sex beast’/hyper-sexual and used excuses such as polyamory for his behavior and why he often would have a ‘friends with benefits’ thing going with other women on the Conan Exiles role-play servers.
He has also coerced other women besides myself. I know of at least one other victim who he tried to pressure into ERP and get nudes out of as well. He also harassed this other victim in-character as well; date-rape drugging her character and luring her into a hidden room of the tavern that our guild shared on Old Guard D&D. According to chat-logs I received of the RP he told this clan member to 'lay back, and spread your legs' while offering her a sex toy to use on herself, or possibly use it upon her. The guild in question was called ‘The Farstriders’ but it has since changed names to ‘Frogvale’/‘The Frolicking Frog’. He currently has at least two other women as role-play partners who may not be fully aware of his behavior. He targets women who are vulnerable and easy to manipulate, using his friendship to get close and coerce.
Screenshots of Discord Messages shared between myself and this RPer during the course of our friendship as proof of his vile behavior.
I would appreciate any kind of advice for this situation, as I’m at a loss now for what else can be done other than I’ve already blocked him on Discord and tried to get the word out in other servers with varying degrees of success. I have felt utterly violated and betrayed since this incident occurred a few months ago and have been struggling with anxiety and depression as I try my best to heal. I am not sure if anything legal can be done unfortunately as he is from the UK while I reside in the USA.
As of this writing I've been told by a server administrator that he left Old Guard D&D, with claims that he deleted his character and blocked several people before leaving the server entirely along with the remaining members of his in-game clan. Unfortunately I cannot verify the admin's claims nor know what other servers he may have moved to but I urge anyone who is an admin for large role-play servers on Conan Exiles to ban this individual so that his behavior can be stopped.
