People can get away with that excuse now with the improved camera of the modern client, but seriously who the hell played 3rd person view in 1999? If you rolled up a female toon in 1999 you didn't roll it because you wanted to look at a female character, you wanted other people to look at you and see a female character.

Actually, my main was a ranger, male, because it fit the image I had of the character when I made him.

As a caster/healer which I play in pretty much any MMORPG I try now, I generally choose a woman. It just seems to "fit" my vision of my character.

... unless of course it is just my latent homosexual tendencies showing through...

Wrong. Female DE in leather armor gave me a stiffy so I went with it.

How about all those people who had names starting Aa... To go first in alpha loot order.

I find that tits give me a stiffy, doesn't mean I'm going to get a pair put on me.

If that is true in some people's case, then that's their problem. That was never true in my case. I simply prefer the appearance of the female character models. And since I do not sit there imagining that my toon is actually me (never been much of a roleplayer), then her gender is in no way related to my own. I simply like the way she looks, period.

The people who worry a lot about this issue are often sexually insecure young males, who worry too much about hitting on a female toon and then feeling like a queer after they discover that she is owned by another guy. Which is actually hilarious, when you think about it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In any case, it is well known that the vast majority of EQ players are male. If all of us played male toons exclusively, then you'd be living in fag land every time you logged into the game. Who the hell wants that..? Not me, thanks. So somebody has to play the female toons, otherwise the entire game world ends up looking like a gay bath house in 'Frisco.

Me thinks thou doth protest too much. :P
