How would identify a female player guy/girl?

[Ashkendor]

I remember someone generally saying that that if you see a female character in revealing clothing its a guy. Whereas a female character that's fully clothed might be female irl

My almost-shirtless monk and miniskirt-clad black mage beg to differ.

My pld/war and scholar are both fully clothed, though.

I confess, I put my female character in sexy clothes.

(pirate street punk, riding jacket w/whip, and the occasional massive iron doomplate are sexy to me okay)

Oh, I have lots of fun trying to guess people's genders (and ages) and I'm rather past 30. xD
How they talk has a lot to do with it. And I wait for them to slip up. Toughest ones to guess are the females running male characters.
Of course, if they start talking about pads, waxing, and period woes... chances are they're a girl. XD Had a member of my FC do this on occasion, just to remind the guys that there were actual females around. XDD
But when it comes to gameplay (what matters), there's no difference.

This is the only acceptable answer.

Ask them their gender. If you are still in doubt, then just ask to voice chat.

I remember using Skype with a group of ppl from my FC. I m not in that FC, but we are still in touch. We even leave cam/voice chat on while playing cuz that's how cool we are xP(I say this because we can be partying other ppl ,but we are on Skype. It helps us to communicate in a effective and faster way compared to /tell in game)

I have a female friend irl that taught herself to pee standing up to avoid gross toilet seats in public washrooms.

Just curious. How is it even possible to catfish someone in an MMO?

Seriously.

Should Square require gender and age verification to make sure everyone's avatars matches their IRL appearance? Should they add some body types as well to make sure fatties are still fat in their virtual fantasy world?

This whole premise is ridiculous. If you want to date and socialize while knowing what someone actually looks like... do it IRL, or through a video over IP service.

Shockingly, virtual fantasy characters just might not look like the person behind the keyboard/controller.

hahaha well in my opinion i actually dont like guys play as girls cuz i find it weird and wrecks the balance of gender population. for example, say if you're marrying a female character, would u marry them knowing the player as a guy or a girl? to me i know i wudnt with a guy "shudders". so im thinking if there is a way to find out without having to ask them straight up lol.

Congratulations.. you're a bigot. -__-

Well, this is an idiotic/banal topic, but one I see depressingly often. Firstly, the answer is obvious; you ask them. End of story. There is a very, VERY great deal of arrogant presumption in ways to "tell" for sure who is or isn't which, but why bother with that?

Secondly, I'm not sure why people care so much since the genitals of the person you're talking to really don't matter that much unless you're planning to get there. And if you ARE planning that but you don't even know such basic information...well, that's a whole other problem, isn't it?

I'm male and play female characters generally, for the record.

Just see if they turn into a bitch once a month.

Once I had a full pt of females in Aion and we found out because the leader asked. The reason she asked was because we all had 'flatter' boobs on the chest slider.

I jump around all the time in game.. O_O Didn't know that was a thing.

Yeah.. That's why I am more prefer to have male gaming buds rather than super fantasy unknow virtual girl.
