Did you play a female, but you are really a dude?

[stormlord]

I'm a male. I tried once or twice to play female over the years in the different mmorpgs i play, but I just can't do it. I feel like I'm being cheap. First of all, it feels fake to roleplay them. Second, it's easier to play as myself. Third, I don't want to ruin some pathetic young boys dream of meeting the elusive girl online.

Oh, and ya I liked to look at one of my female characters butt, but I couldn't stand playing so quit. And on that character I did claim to be a female in RL. It was just an experiment that failed.

Yes, too many bras and thongs in eq. I love to see females, but that was just stupid. I value immersion more than anything else, and a female with a lot of skin in everfrost makes no sense at all to me.

Same goes for the changes they made in VG. if I recall, they did some "adjustments" to armor by showing more skin. I thought that was just cliche and dumb. Same thing happened with the luclin models when they said they wanted them to be sexier. I know some gays like muscles, but the luclin male models all look like boxers and meat heads to me. It's a big turn off to play a meat head. I really hate the luclin models.

I don't want to make this post about luclin vs classic, but the classic males look more like males to me. The women in classic look like strippers, though. I wonder what kind of people are in management? *shivers*

I'm female and play female characters, but I'm a dyke so when I mention GF people think I'm a dude. It amuses the hell outbof me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'll soon be messing around with a paladin, and if you're a dwarf you've gotta be male so you get dwarf roll... er well.. bearded females are cool too, but I want my tank to have dorfroll!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Making female toons as a guy is semi-homo, jus' sayin'

Maybe I'm just jaded because I played WoW for as long as I did. Luckily I was Horde. Then Blood Elves came out. :/

I play allizia and I'm a dude, but everyone knows it and I only cyber with Barthorn and Jeremy, which I log Drexen in for

I play with a very simple rule in mind when choosing the sex of my avator:

Male for melee/hybrids
Female for casters

I do this irl.

The 2nd character I made in old EQ was a female wood elf druid. If the male model looks like a pansy, I didn't want to look at it on my screen all day. The more realistic female wood elf however, I was content with looking at. Not in a sick cartoon porn way mind you, but it looked more aesthetically appealing to me. Wood elf males.. no. They were too froofy for me back then (no offense!).

When I played my female, I did get hit on. I found a great and honest way to make them stop, without being rude.

"I'm happily married."

Nowadays, it's so common it's not even blinked at. Thanks to all the elves in WoW and guys playing them it's even accepted in most circles. I loved my DE Pk Wizard in old EQ.. yet I still rolled a female dark elf this time around. Times change...

You're 100% bullshit if you say "hurr durr I don't want to look at a dude all day..."

Why should anyone care what sex they play? It's a game...

Sometimes I think people forget this.

I can be anything you want!
