Pretend cat girls, and real life.

Yeah I pretty much assume all female characters are guys. And you know everyone's defense: I'd rather stare at a (Suggested) female butt for hours than a guys.

It's unfortunate that even now, not many Final Fantasy fans have adopted Ventrilo. I was shocked at how many ladies played Aion. Hell at least 1/2 the legions I joined were run by them. Which by the way is awesome so long as they are level headed.

To the relationship thing. I don't know many people who have dated via a MMO but I do know one kid who has gotten booty calls a couple times. The girls were really cute, he is butt ugly lol go figure O.o

Maybe people do the booty calls on that World of Warcraft thingy.

I talk to Vydarr in LS! Vydarr Tyr for life!

Honey Boy -- His charm is so contagious, vaccines have been created for it.

I just find it funny people somehow think having a female character as a boy player needs defending at all. I mean, it's a character, they find it fun..

Maybe if you were trying to deliberately mislead out of maliciousness then, sure.. but.. just having a female character? Why is this bad? All the reasons people seem to think it could be bad that've been given, aside from trying to be hurtful, really just come off as bigotted and mean so far as I can read.

When I play I say "It's a role-playing game, so I'll play the role of a [enter character here]". If I have to tell people my real infos I'll do it, even if it'd not be necessary. I just like to role-play, and an MMORPG is the best place to do it!

When I don't role-play, I just go into Mumble and chat with my pals or in the linkshell chat.
It's only when I play real-life MMORPG that I take the role of myself and try to win the game.

On the relationships: It is possible for relationships from MMOs to work, the key is to not play a game looking for a relationship, dont forget it is real people you are talking to and thier true colours can come through, also you do need to talk through vent/TS/skype because there is always the risk people lying about thier gender, its just a fact of the internet and text chat. Also dont forget just because somone posts a pic of them doesnt always mean that is them.

And always take it slow online, talk for a bit in voice chat, then when you feel you are getting to know each other be careful about how you meet if you choose to meet up. The key is to take it slowly.

At least no one thinks you're a girl because "Ashley" is a girl name..

OMFG this. Also, NOT A GIRL'S NAME. It's like these illiterates never heard of GONE WITH THE FLIPPING WIND.

[SAMINUS]

Ashley is unisex name. I am trying to follow some of the people's logic on here.. Role Playing game, sure I made a character to play as a girl because I want to play as a girl. For some reason I find it odd. it is like choosing to play with barbie dolls over gi joes.

Agreeeee. I also find it funny how people freak out over guys playing female characters, but a female playing a guy character is ignored... people shrug it off.
It's a game.. play what you like.
No need for people to get over-sensitive or defensive or anything. Women playing male characters usually don't get all insecure like that. :x We don't need to defend ourselves because it'd just be silly for someone to be so bothered by it.

Great advice. Couldn't have said it better myself. ^^/

Its easy to tell between a mantha and a real woman. Me and my other real women friends in the ls always hate on the manthras because they all pick pink hair, ugliest face, and most of them are seeker of the sun.


This is me, add me if you're on selbina server. http://www.facebook.com/molotovzav my facebook has my in game character and real life pics.

Do people play mmos to find relationships? Me and my boyfriend both play mmos but i met him irl and he got me into XI, and thus we play XIV together. I knew people who met playing games but it wasn't on purpose usually.

ooo and i heard there were manthras in xi who would get free stuff out dumb guys :/
