This is a game with established rules. Leave your beliefs outside of it.

Threads like this are a perfect example of why people are so annoyed with the alphabet community.
Reality doesn't care what your head canon is for your character or for yourself.

Leave politics and gender theory at the door.

Hi there!

So I'm nonbinary and it's been a real treat seeing gender neutral pronouns being used for the pixies in Il Mheg and for our adorable branch. For the WoL, though, there's always only he/him or she/her. I was wondering if it might be possible to set different pronouns for written dialogue and system messages, either through the character creation process or something in the options menu? It would be a nice little bit of inclusion to have in the game.

Obviously, voiced lines that use pronouns don't necessarily need to change in the process.

No .

Honestly I rarely see any characters refer to WOL as he/him or she/her, they usually refer to the WOL by their name.

I wouldn’t be against it, but there are the issues of dialogue programming and localizations of the gendered romantic languages. It might take up more time/resources, etc, but I don’t know much about programming. Maybe in another/future MMO?

I somehow don't expect romantic language users to even care much for this in the first place since their relationship to pronouns are way different to english. Gendered pronouns are everywhere for everything with no apparent sense to it. It also isn't uncommon to be referred to in another gender depending on your profession. So the idea of caring about what pronoun is used for addressing you is just less important in general.
