of course not I spend it killing the wyverns >.> its more of the fact that one of my favorite armours in terms of abilities looks excellent on a female but makes the male look like a stripper >.> also there is one armour that for males makes them wear (I kid you not) a thong that cycles through colours... lets say the females armour is much nicer either way theres always something about a female protagonist I have liked...SultanP said:
On WoW I play a female Night Elf Hunter.
It's automatically assumed that I'm a guy in real life.
Good thing I am, huh?
But as for the other way round, I treat all characters I meet in games as genderless beings, mentioning them only by name and never as He/She.

Been a while since I played an MMO.
I never walked up to anyone and asked them. I'd ask them if they ended up in my guild/clan (I was GM), OR if I ended up hanging out with them for any prolonged period of time, and that was just because I wanted to know the person better, not the character. MMOs have a heavy social aspect to it, and if you're going to be playing with someone for a large period of time over it, it's nice to know who you're playing with. I've since stopped playing but I've maintained (online) friendships, both male and female.
So, in summary, I only ask when my interactions with the other player go in depth beyond the game. Asking first is just creepy.

I always play as a female when given the option in a video game, whether or not this has a bearing on the game itself (I.E. Being female in Fallout 3 does more or less nothing, whereas playing as the female in Borderlands changes everything). It started out as a joke, since I played as Princess Peach in SSBB, and a number of female characters in MvC. I've kept it up out of respect for the inside joke.
its not entireley stupid armour for men some armour sets like the one in my avatar, azure rathalos or the guild knight armour it looks EPIC (yet I can never find a picture I should look aroundSultanP said:
I almost always have a female avatar in MMO's (alltho the only MMO I've played more than trials is WoW) except for my dwarf because i can't stand the looks of WoW's female dwarves. I also play as female in SP games (where I can choose obviously). I don't really know why tho, I just prefer female characters. While encountering a female char in a MMO I don't care squat if the one playing is male or female. If it's a good player he/she gets on the friends list, I maybe get to know more about the person playing, and if it turns out to be a female IRL, I would be a bit glad considering I think there are still to few female gamers, but that is all.
I've heard that if you're a girl playing an MMORPG, its pretty easy to get someone to buy you stuff. Just like in real life.
Well, since the only games I play where avatars actually matter require you to really roleplay as your character (that is, text-based MUDs), I'm not thinking about the other person's real life gender, nor do I care. All I know is that I'm with another character, just like my own.
Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous... I can't see what the motivation would be to have your avatar as this....this....yeah. Perhaps if it's more respectably cool, like your favourite female character who isn't a ridiculous piece of jailbait, then that would be fine.
I believe the question is "Who cares?" and "Does she hax?" or "Does she break the rules" Honestly fair-play is all I care about. It doesn't effect me in any way except the disability to do nutshots on them and of course Im talking about FPS or TPS. Even more on topic I dont care. I played WAR for a few months and the girls I met I just ignored (Unless we were doing a PQ)
Bottomline: I dont actually care but its good to see that theres a mixed result in this wonderful thread.
