I just wanted to let you all know this. I know it's quite shocking and interesting but it's a fact, there are girls in MMO.

Now, don't be afraid to approach them. When you meet one online this is a common reaction to have:

Although you can recognize them by their pink avatar  that says G.I.R.L, this is what they look like:

lmao i actually met me gf through WoW, played together for awhile then eventualy met each other. 1 thing to another ect.

oh my god, they got chins too.

Also their brains aren't connected to their mouths.

A guy on my old server in WoW met his future wife during a UC raid. LOL 

Now hes in Iraq and blogs about the war.

rofl. Baff, that was incredible. :)

Of course there are women playing MMOs, just like there are men who play for the pink team :P

An interesting topic

I love chatting to Ladies during games ,I find they have a different perspective most of the time to men. Many of the ladies I know make their characters look cool and funky ....you can see it’s a women who knows about fashion sense behind the design .Also The funny thing is when I once posted the fact on one of the official forums of the one of  games I play that “ I like talking to ladies  “...I received quite a lot of criticism .People were implying I was  “ a little lecherous ...and how do you know a girl is actually a girl in RL “

I replied “ I know it may be a man behind the keyboard but that doesn’t mean I don’t like chatting to women “...it’s not going to put me off :)

 

I think you are just trying to play it off like you are some kinda online ladies man. Personally the only females Ive had decent conversations with are the ones 30+ years old.

An interesting discovery!  Who knew females play MMO's?

P.S. Everybody knows

We are everywhere.. watching you.... plotting and scheming.... 

(plus how else are we supposed to let you know it's your turn to do the dishes when you're plugged into your game..  )

@ Arcken

shame dude ,you are obviously not a very interesting person  to talk to  ,You say that  your experience is only over 30's women offer worthwhile chats ?

Well I have  several ICQ  addresses of women I met in online games that I chat to regularly,many of them are under 30  .I also have several guys I chat to .No I'm not  suggesting I'm a stud...I just find it easy to talk to women and you can have sustainable friendships with them .

Its actually really easy to talk to women in Online games ...easier  than RL as you have something in common automatically  ...the game .

And no " I don't consider it a great accolade to be online ladies man..considering the fact it's a  virtual title and lacks real substance "

Ok guys before you get too excited about this braking news flash.

Make sure they aren't a guy before you give them all your gold.

Yes we play mmos too, we also own xbox 360's, ps3's and wii.  It is funny how all the little boys in dresses running around these days have given us a bad reputation so that when guys actually meet real girls they can't believe it. I would also like to say that there are healthy, athletic, active women  with real lives playing these games and that we do not have to be  lazy fat slobs to enjoy games. Quit stereotyping us!

Most real girls playing   these days do not want your in game gold. They make more on their own. It is the little boys in dresses pretending to be girls that are after your pixelated cash. LOL
 

No offense to the ladies that play MMORPGs, but IMO the actual numbers are so small as to be inconsequential.

I think you could design an MMO that would get large numbers of female players, but it would not be something I'd want to play.

I like to see male and female avatars running around the landscape, because it makes for a more visually interesting game, but I don't really care what your actual gender is behind the avatar. I want you to not be an asshat, have something interesting to say if you want to chat or at least be polite, and do your job so the party doesn't get wiped. If you do that, I don't care if you're 16, or 60, male or female.

I've played plenty of times with female gamers before.  Half the time they're better PvPers than men (but not myself, of course)

I met this really cool girl in FFXI, but she lived in London and had a BF but other than that she was hella cool......  I tend to be a bit weary when I see girl avatars, cuz most likely they are a guy. But  It would be nice to finda gf playing MMO's, cuz every other normal girl gets jelouse of my computer. lol got to love nerdy girls.

There again stereotyping what women want in a game that makes it  something you would not want to play. Most women I know that play like hardcore pvp  and are very good at it.  We are guild leaders, war leaders and excellent pkrs.  So unless you just like sissy boy noncombat games only you might have more in common with female gamers than you want to imagine.
