I'm a male. I tried once or twice to play female over the years in the different mmorpgs i play, but I just can't do it. I feel like I'm being cheap. First of all, it feels fake to roleplay them. Second, it's easier to play as myself. Third, I don't want to ruin some pathetic young boys dream of meeting the elusive girl online.
Oh, and ya I liked to look at one of my female characters butt, but I couldn't stand playing so quit. And on that character I did claim to be a female in RL. It was just an experiment that failed.
Yes, too many bras and thongs in eq. I love to see females, but that was just stupid. I value immersion more than anything else, and a female with a lot of skin in everfrost makes no sense at all to me.
Same goes for the changes they made in VG. if I recall, they did some "adjustments" to armor by showing more skin. I thought that was just cliche and dumb. Same thing happened with the luclin models when they said they wanted them to be sexier. I know some gays like muscles, but the luclin male models all look like boxers and meat heads to me. It's a big turn off to play a meat head. I really hate the luclin models.
I don't want to make this post about luclin vs classic, but the classic males look more like males to me. The women in classic look like strippers, though. I wonder what kind of people are in management? *shivers*
