I have to say EvE is probably one of my all time favorites... Then again, both my parents were nerds, my dad an engineer and he used to babysit me by handing me repair manuals for military helicopters... I did not have a normal childhood.

That is discriminating……..I’m telling. I would like to know, how do they make their members prove they are female?

Vent probably, though I've heard some people who, I swear, could go either way. RL pix maybez? Though you should never trust those, not with a friend called Google.

Maybe if you act "girly" enough.

Because of this thing called voice chat ;) they don't take anyone in guild without voice interview first.

I've known some women with very masculine voices.

Understanding sarcasm seems to be a lost "art" nowadays....  I wonder where things went wrong.

Lawsuits(pertaining to discrimination in its various forms) started coming up that were filed by a bunch of people that insisted society be policically correct 100% of the time.

Would I be sexist if I said the Sims? ;x

Come onn, don't knock me too badly. Hey I like the Sims too, would that make me girly?

Okay okay I'll stop instigating ;)

Seriously?  How do you call yourself a gamer if you cannot tell the difference between a girl player and guy player online?

There are several tell/tale differences in the way most women type in chat that are extremely different from guys.  Of course it would require you to have actually had some intelligent conversations with women OUTSIDE of gaming and that you did not just run up to a female toon and start acting like a complete and utter TUL.

I can usually tell within about 10-15 minutes of grouping with another person whether they are male / female.   of course it does not mean I treat them any differently.  If they suk they suk if they are fun to group with they are fun to group with.  Either way it is more about the game play / cooperation than the sexual orientation.

Yup -  We're taking WoW over one server at a time.

We have female only guilds, we have pink tabards and yes when we get on vent we do nothing but talk about shopping, shoes and how the last time we got our nails done how great they looked right after but like 2 days later they've completely gone to hell.

And no, we don't have a clue how to play the game, I personally just push random bottoms and hope something goes right; who knew if you got 25 of us on the lich king doing the same thing mr. frostbite would go down so easily... iknowright?

Oh and if you don't play WoW and play some other more complicated, convoluted, "technical" game like eve, or runscape or whatever to like... get away from us. Don't bother man, just don't bother. We're all over the place.

We have our pink mouses, our pink keyboards, t-shits that spell the word Girl in like 50 different ways (i.e.: Girlz, Gurls, Gurlz, G!lrz, Gu!z, etc, etc), we have our bras, our tampons, make up, spare sweater in case it's cold (it doesn't matter where we're going, it could always be cold) and we're going to take over... oh yeah, we're taking over.

Oh yeah by the way.

Farmville is... AWESOME!

I so love this post.

There are a lot of female players in RuneScape and A Tale in the Desert. Being a woman myself I can tell that I prefer games where there are more activities than only combat, and where I can get the feeling of achievement without being forced to fight.

I'm talking about a per capita amount like out of every 100 people 20 are female.

I once heard that 40% of WoW players were female, but that sounds high.  PvP servers would have fewer women while RP servers would have more, I assume.

I would think a game like EVE would have a small female population.

Any websites track gender numbers?

Thanks for enlightening me.

* backs slowly away while not making eye contact *

Don't take me seriously - I was just having some fun :).

I actually think his post was sarcastic and that it was sort of "in" on the joke.

A good kick in the nuts would get that voice an octave higher.

Then again, you'd have to get that nutsmashing kick every time you'd go on vent, that's a bit harsh to keep up. But hey, sacrifices, eh.

I like a woman who hates games, so I can have something for myself.

In EVE you just sit around chatting while the game plays itself for you. It probably has the highest % of females.

lol

Not even close bud. I take it you didn't enjoy your time in the game, but that doesn't automatically classify it as "a girl's game" or whatever.

The last number I heard was around 5% for EVE, whereas WOW was approximately 40%.

This is a quote from your post history regarding WOW: "it is the best MMO ever made".

Guess this means you have rather feminine tendencies. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Star Wars Galaxies used to be fairly populated with female players. Probably because it had such a wide variety of things to do/professions. A lot of opportunity to socialize and cooperate on things other than combat. That's what drew me to SWG. 

I like combat as much as any guy. I play games like GTA 4, Killzone 2, MGS4 all the time... but when it comes to MMO gaming and interacting with other players I prefer teamwork and friendships over pvp.

ahem

What Is Hellcats? Hellcats is a women-only pirate corporation in the space-themed MMORPG EVE-Online. The corporation was formed with the goal of bringing female players together in a fierce, tight-knit, and fearsome band of bloodthirsty she-pirates intent on fun and profit from the taking of your ships, your stuff, your ISK, and when necessary, your pod. No quarter is given, none is expected. When you lose to us, cry more--a girl just kicked your ass! Not that we have anything against guys; we have boyfriends, husbands and in-game male friends whom we adore. We just want to bite, scratch, shoot and talk girl talk in cahoots with our own kind.

WoW, LoTRO, EQ1, and EQ2

Well I am a hairy legged old man, but I really enjoy playing with real females. 

I wish more females played games. 

They seem to bring a different slant on things.  Also don't let anyone tell you they can't play as well as guys.

I have seen more guys who played badly than girls.

Now if I only could only get my wife to play MMOs with me.  Oh well when I got married computer games did not exist.

If I was young again I would never marry a woman who was not a gamer. (Don't tell my wife I said that)  :)

I think this is the best post I've ever read on a forum anywhere.

Pardon me while I go clean up the water I just spit all over my keyboard and monitor. :D

I played FFXI for years and now I'm waiting for FFXIV.

Never really liked WoW, just got a Priest to 52 and a Paladin to 41.. didn't like the graphics, hated the community, but i liked BGs and my first guild there wasn't too bad. Played on a PvP Server because I liked the conflict between the horde and the alliance. Oh and female undeads ftw.

I also played Aion for about two Months, didn't really like it either and a couple of f2p games. FFXI is the only mmorpg that was able to hold my interest (just got no more time for it T_T).

Now I'm playing Allods Online and I like it so far. :3
