Would you rather stare at a pretty lady's face all day? Or an ugly mug like mine?

Also in other mmo's you really like to stare at a guy's ass when he runs around while your playing the game?


Makes zero sense. Like, none.

I am not an alt of Chribba.

It's important for my male main character to have a number of readily available and attractive females to breed with.

I'm male in real life and I always create a male character which is my main. For this game though the general consensuses was to have 2 accounts so for my 2nd account I created a Female. That way for RP action, my main - male character - has a female character as a mate / girlfriend / wife. However, my female alt doesn't get much game time.

95% + 50%... 145% !

Wow that's almost as much as the voter turnout at last russian presidential despotational election.

95% male players. 5% female players.
50% female avatars. 50% male avatars.

Well, this toon is male. The other two are female, because girls are pretty.

As someone posted in another (nearly identical) thread, because I like looking at good looking chicks, not white-eyed dudes with their arms crossed. All male here, but only a couple female alts. I HAVE, however, trained up some female alts just to sell them (industry, Orca/Hulk pilots, FW combat pilots, etc).

Purdy chicks > scarred, white eyed dudes with faux-hawks.

The only thing that confuses me is when you are writing about someone in game chat that is using a female avatar and a female name. Do you say "she or her"? Even when you know that more than likely it's a dude? Do you ignore the avatar and assume it's a man?


Yeah, that is the embarassing thing and why my main characters are always male. If a guy creates a female avatar then I don't care, I refer to them as a her. It's amusing when they try to correct you and say I'm actually a guy as if you should have known it. Although a lot of guys probably just roll with it seeing as they have obviously decided to RP a female character. That being said I don't know that many who have a female as their main character.

Because for some weird reason having a female character makes stuff easier.

People tend to be less strict on their rules and principles.

Ooh....and the looks are just better

It's a common problem in MMOs and when Eve when "3rd person view" with WIS, a lot of people who rolled dudes would have to contend with looking at some dudes arse.

But WiS is mainly a side note, a gimmick for when you want the fan in your computer to make more noise.


I rolled a female alt and found that it did not make me ghey or trans not want to cross dress (though I like to threaten to do that and keep my friends living in fear).


Just a game, when all is said and done.

I created my character a LONG time ago. Back when there was no WiS and back before gender and race had any bearing other than how your portrait (that you rarely ever saw) looked. Back then nobody had ever suspected we'd be able to walk around with our characters or that they'd ever be anything more than a silly looking picture.

Now that character avatars are in the game, I would like to change my characters gender and blood line. My portrait looked VERY different back then from how it looks now. But when WiS became a reality we were not given the option to do so.
