I played a female character once as my main a long time ago on Everquest. Since people in game assumed I was a woman IRL, I didn't see any reason why I shouldn't act the part. It was just easier that way.

Suffice to say, it got really weird, so I switched mains to a male, and have never gone back. It feels so much more natural for me playing a character of my same sex.

Also, it was rough playing a female char on Everquest. I imagine it would be 10x as rough here with the heavy roleplay of the server. :shock: In fact, I even have a hard time saying anything 'sexual' like nice buns or something. Maybe it's all of this California PC bombardment. :lol: So I'd imagine RPing a female would be that much harder.

I've only played a female char once in RPG's and that was on EverQuest aswell.

I found playing a female strange, but... I got plenty of equipment given to me by horny blokes.

Sweet.

yeah.. heh.. last time I played a female I was constantly being bombarded by massive exp cookies, had several custom items named after my character by the time I was level 12, and was mistress of some castle. :shock:

finally I couldn't take it anymore because it was like... too easy... too much attention... too much merciless taunting from my fiancee about my IG boyfriend :lol:

I play same sex (i.e., male) characters, except for my half-ogress character. I have found that people get over the "run its an ogre!" thing (which I assume is a product of the static model) faster if your character can call itself a half-ogress. Otherwise, it is tougher to get acceptance of RPing a halfway intelligent half-ogre - they are half human after all. This is just my experience and may, of course, reflect a limited time trying to RP male half-ogres before giving up and trying this approach.

Yeah I play a male and I think it makes things a bit more easier if you meet someone IG and the person behind it is of the opposite sex

... suppose you never truely know though do you :wink:

Actually, tell me no more!
