I give [fun] hell to anyone I see that uses that

Is that the person who had all the tatoos?
That was my first character thought he looked cool with the tatoos and fangs.
He looks weird when running with a spear/glaive

I really don't mind the discussion, but careful what you say here.

I'm already defending myself in PM for hater-content on the forum.

Hmm, that sucks that people would be complaining about a topic so seemingly simple. Maybe the topic should change to why you chose the gender of your character? Would that be less offensive?

It's just a game, who cares. I play both.

WHAT?!?!?!?! Your not chinese.....but this is a ROLE PLAYING GAME you know that type of game that you "PLAY A ROLE" in? If your not Chinese IRL then you clearly have Nationality issues. You FREAK.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_game

Oh and since you brought up this being a "RPG". Here is one you can play with your "Girl Friend". Here is the basic plot. Your name is John. Her name is Holly Hooker. End of plot. And yes "THAT" is an RPG. Try using your brain, if that fails Google works great too.

No not that one, he looks human but he's got a white face, his hair back and he's got pink make up on and lipstick, he's so rare to find anyone using that you've maybe never seen him lol

me and my gf share the same character in SRO, she picked a female character and i prefer it too. I don't see anyone having any problem with that anyway.

it's just a game, so chill out. Even if you're a male and u pick the opposite gender for this game or any other games, you are still you and it certainly doesn't mean you have to go for a sex change operation. So screw those who don't like you picking the opposite gender for the game, they're probably jealous that you look "hot" anyway.

Thats what the Alliance people do in WoW. At least most of them. (Sorry Ryoko)
They choose NightElf, and Human and try and get them to look like a sl*t (not sure if I can say that or not)
And soon people will becoming to the Horde with the Blood-Elves joining the Horde
(Blood-Elves on Horde and Dranei on Alliance makes no sense, dont worry I will contine to ramble on only in my head)

Guys who play girl chars aren't gay....just nerds....

Priam · **Posted:** Mon Dec 04, 2006 11:09 pm

I play a male char, cus it made sense since i'm male, but i can totally understand people playing a female char. For instance, the 7th and 8th degree look like rubbish on a male char (fatty food anyone?), whereas on a female char they look way better.

Don't steroetype. I could sterotype you based on your previosu topics or posts, yet I don't cause I don't know you.

Don't call people *nerds* if you don't know the meaning of it.

ermz, atleast nobody posted a pre patched ss of a male char, from when the chars were almost nekkid, that would be pretty gay

about the looking like your char irl: I wouldn't wanna see them WoW players with Tauren or undead if it where true

btw I also picked the chick who carries the polearm class weapons on her back while running, and places it vertically nxt to her while standing, I also made her as small as possible, and as fat as possible, so I play a small female with big hoo hoos

I'll tell you something even funnier. Quite recently, some supposed 16 year old came to a party I was in and was just trashing talking the hell out of everyone. Apparently, to him, it's wrong if you are playing video games if you are over 16 and have no life. He just went on and on in pointless PMs to me about how I probably have no life, can't get a g/f, a nerd, and get this, he actually SAID this to me:

"I bet you get picked on by black people"

Never in my life have I met someone *that* retarded and ignorant, and I've met quite a few. No one's ever been dumb enough to play the race card though. I just nearly died laughing from all the crap he was talking to me. (no I'm not the type to get offended or take anything anyone says seriously)

I feel sad for some of these kids nowadays, it's a shame.

Oh, and all of this was just out of the blue. He joined our party and started this, no one had said a word to him. Talk about random.

Well, if it's a female character, I am used to thinking that the owner is a female player and not a male. When I talk to them, I'll say something that is meant to be said to a female [Like "hey babe", "what you wearing", "give me some suga"], but since most of the time it's a male, they get upset.

It doesn't really matter, you know? It's a role playing game, meaning you get to be someone OTHER than YOU anyway, right? Right. People like that need to be slammed in the head with a styrofoam hammer.

I would also like to add that I HATE it when people TREAT ME LIKE A GIRL!!! Why? I want to be treated like a PERSON...not a SEX object... (sorry, this was brought on by what Drew said the other person said to him...lol...)

Satayne is probably referring to Plus's sig, since it has him in it.

Some people here seem to be trolls. Calling you gay without any real reasoning to back it up, etc. Whatever. Idiots will be idiots, arguing with them is futile.

OK, to set the record strait, everyone knows Pluss44 is a big time botter who hides in the caves and comes out only to thieve and pvp. When confronted with botting he does not deny it but only says "you can't prove that"The fact that he had to use chat from me in his sig is actually a little flattering but I find it a little tacky. It's also funny that he cut out the chat where I said there was nothing wrong with playing a female toon. He's just trying to make something out of nothing in true drama queen fashion.

I regret I made a male char. After I know Female char's fun bags can jiggles. =(

I was actually there.As you can see in the chat log.I specifically asked him if was a guy IRL.He got mad at that question obviously.I didnt attack him about it.I was asking a simple question and got my head bit off..But Satayne DID NOT say there was anything wrong with him being a guy IRL and a girl on the game...It was more of the other guy that was there that went on and on about it.I dont know who that guy is..he just ran across us as we were talking to Plus44.

And basically this was all about a trade and him thieving it.Which is fine.I have done all jobs in the game.However he wasnt able to get me and i was the one who made it to town.He was gloating to the others about stealing there stuff so i went back to gloat at the fact that i got away with my trade.Soon there after he murdered Satayne.....

And to the guy that said something about hiding in the bushes to do trades..Erm im pretty sure Plus44 came out of the bushes and attacked me first.But i got away.But thats neither here nor there..Its all about survival and doing your job to the best of your ability..PERIOD lol..

Lets all remember this IS A GAME..

ahh that's just bs. -.- most of the female characters i have assumed were female, and i was actually surprised to find out that the players were male. but i guess that's nothing new, since the majority of people i know are male.

so now i just assume everyone's male!

Anyways here :

Is It really that wrong if me ( A guy ) Plays a female character? I mean the way this skin holds a glaive.. I find that pretty cool ( She carries it on her back ). Am I a perv cause I selected a female character? Tssssk

Edit: Bugger I just noticed I missed the last sentance of stix saying * guy with female skin = gay *. Take my word for it ><

I choose my Female char not for looks......not cause I'm female.....and well I may or may not be a perv but.......I choose female because after playing for a while using a male char I realized female gear was by far cheaper between 10-50% cheaper. Its a supply and demand thing. There are tons of male chars, and fewer female chars.

Exactly. That's why I use female characters from now on. I have a male character, my first SRO character, but after having to sell all my drops I decided I'd go female and now I get drops I can actually use. To hell with what other people think. It's a game and he probably has issues irl.

Really? There seem to be a lot of female players that I see, so I would think their armor is only 5-10% cheaper max... :banghead:

Why didnt I choose a fem char for cheap armor? :shock:

I have 3 characters on my account, two male, one female. I made the female to take advantage of the female drops and found I like to play her more than the others. Its not because shes female, its because shes an archer and I found that soloing an archer is just more fun than my spear or blade characters.

Ive played MMOs for 10 years now and have seen guys play females and gals play males for many reasons:

Gals playing males so they dont get hit on in game.
Guys playing females so they can con the guys out of gear.
Either playing either for RP reasons or because the look better...

The bottom line is, if you want to play a character different than your real live gender, have at it! Its called "Role Playing". No one should have a problem with it.

If you get upset when preteen boys hit on you, maybe you should play a male character. If you get upset when you hit on a female character and find out its a guy playing her, maybe you should try curing your sexual frustration somewhere other than in a game.

Face it kiddies, just because you get a chub at the sight of a scantly clad female toon you dont know "what" controling that toon. Is it a guy? Is it a girl? is he/she 7 or 70? Is he she 105lbs or 405lbs? Is he/she a cute little church goer or an ate up crankster tweaking at the computer all night?

Like i said before, if you feel tingle in your jeans seeing a female toon its time to get off the game and try meeting people in the real world. If not you future will be that of a 45 year old man hitting on 13 year olds in an AOL chat room and a guest appearence on a national television show...

It's people like you that disgust me. Guys like you and the people trying to harass plus44 are the ones with sexual insecurity, clearly. You remind of these preachers you see in the news getting arrested for molesting young boys.. eww.

Those of us who pick female chars are just secure enough in our sexuality that it truely doesn't matter what you retards think. Myself I picked female because my friends that started playing before me said 'dude go female, all the stuff we pick up seems to be female', so I had said ok cool, I'm a hot chinese chick! And sure enough I've gotten a lot of nice stuff for free.

And though it is a 'role playing game', how many people really role play? None that I've seen. I mean, picture these warriors hundreds of years ago running around all 'OMG UR KSing NOOB@!1'. If anything most of the kids just like pretending to be retards, or maybe they aren't pretending..

The people that make an issue out of it are the people with issues, simple as that.

You're metrosexual, aren't you?
