I originally tried P99 years ago and quit lol, but I came back recently and started leveling again. Anyhow here's my awkward noob story :P
My first and only female character in any MMORPG.
Like 99% of the online player base, I am a male.
My first MMO being EQ1, I made a human female monk, as my buddy at the time said it was the best because "You can look at their butts while you run" (mind you I'm 12 or 13?).
I level up slowly in EFP and then Nro and at lv8 or 9 got a group doing dervs. It went fine until two players joined the group and it got...weird.
I'm trying to remember exactly but I know the aggressor was a dwarf and his lackey was a high elf I think? Anyways ole Dwarfy decides I'm an attractive female (blonde human model) and gives me a derv ring saying "here you go gorgeous". I was like "Oh yeah I like watching the females butts when they run too" thinking he meant that? Nope, this guy harrasses me for the next 45 mins or so hardcore RPing for my love.
His lackey is sending me tells about how much the dwarf likes me and we make a great couple?
Eventually the dwarf RP proposes to me, and being incredibly uncomfortable I quickly /q and didn't play for weeks.
I eventually came back to EQ and rolled a MALE dwarf cleric. I haven't to this day played a female character in any game since.
Oh and my buddy told me later he played dumb and enjoyed the benefits of getting free items etc from dudes in-game while playing a female character. I know he wasn't the only guy who "RP'd".
