Dathan Surehand Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Not trying to cause any probs here. But what kind of real number ratio do we expect regarding SWG? It seems overwhelmingly male. Am I right here?
Jackrabbit Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Well, there was a post about this a little while ago. Set brought up a good point that there are a lot of female characters, but you don't see many of them because they pretend to be male (you know, so they don't get bugged about...being female). As far as actual ratio...well, on this board, I can think of...3?
setsuko Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 Well, MMORPGs are traditionally a lot more popular with them ladies than, say, CounterStrike or Quake. So the odds are not as obscenely uneven. I'd say about 10-20% for most MMORPGs, depending on how much they focus on combat.
Dathan Surehand Posted May 31, 2003 Author Posted May 31, 2003 I can honestly say it makes for a better gaming experience having ladies around....I used to pen and paper rp and we had a few friends {women} who would play. It was a lot of fun.
Dathan Surehand Posted May 31, 2003 Author Posted May 31, 2003 I am married, understand you completely and will reply with the obligitory: Yes, Ma'am.
swediot=) Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 im not married yet i feel like i have used that line before..... its not fair
Kaiser Spaso Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 all i know is that i don't want to watch a bunch of male dancers
Donnie Darko Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 I was actually considering being a female character myself...but then I would have all the youngsters saying "Hey, you're hot" I've seen that enough in EQ with those woodelves.....
Jatari Bazrak Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 I will be a male Zabrak scout starting on Corenet, Corellia.

Thongo-Phett Exotic Male Stripper For Hire! haha thats sad. u know whats really sad tho... u will see alot of guys roleplaying as women. the humanity.... kind of reminds me of "The Parlor" (some short film, look it up, its entertaining)
setsuko Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 If you can roleplay an alien, why is it so different to roleplay a *shudder* female, Mark? Roleplaying is acting. Acting is pretending to be someone else.
Xx_Patman_xX Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Good point Set. I am considering being a female... after all they have no skill decrease from males.
Jackrabbit Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Yeah, there's nothing wrong with playing a character of the opposite sex. I was thinking of having a female Teras Kasi on another server.
Donnie Darko Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 That picture...is makine me...physically nauseous.....
Lord_Vessen Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Like the pic of Thongo-Phett I found? Lol, well if there is something wrong with RPing a woman than someone tell me what it is. Because I see nothing wrong with it. [edit]I could make a character called Thongo-Phett. It would be funny. On another server. It would look like a female twi'lek...but once he would get done with his exotic dance he would tell your character, "I am a man..." -I am a man...
Jatari Bazrak Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 *freaks out* I think I'm going to throw up. yep... discusting.

Roleplaying is acting. Acting is pretending to be someone else. oh its not a problem, i was a female stealth hacker in planetside ( i was one svelte sexy lass and my name was "slut" btw haha) but if u watch the short film "The Parlor" which i downloaded off the internet, u will see what i am referring to. I just get the idea of sickos on the internet. i know i have internet malaise. i forgot the site, but its a good movie. its not porn btw.
darthfergie Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 hmmm...I know some people who have been horridly suprised when they found out this babe they had been talking to online and even gotten married to on the RPG turned out to be a man. That is what scares the heck out of me when men RP as women.
