Guys playing female characters = okay. I play one myself.

Guys actually pretending to be girls = not okay. That's rather warped.

As for all of the Luclin-related comments, it needs to be pointed out that Luclin was the final expansion developed in full by Verant, thus is it every bit as "classic" as Kunark and Velious. Whether people preferred it or not has nothing to do with its status as a classic EverQuest expansion. It most certainly was... and in my humble opinion, it should be included on any server claiming to be "classic EQ."

I play a female character also, in most RPG games.

If I have to look at a toon for hours, I would rather it be a woman. Also, I just find the idea of a kick-ass female to be much more interesting.

Agreed. I'd rather look at a chick's ass all day long than a sweaty guy's ass. That's just the sort of person I am. I like girls -- both real and imaginary -- even if they are just a collection of pixels.

Not only that, but I also play caster classes exclusively... and the notion of a seemingly harmless looking little chick who can blow your balls off has a certain humorous appeal. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

People can get away with that excuse now with the improved camera of the modern client, but seriously who the hell played 3rd person view in 1999? If you rolled up a female toon in 1999 you didn't roll it because you wanted to look at a female character, you wanted other people to look at you and see a female character.

If that is true in some people's case, then that's their problem. That was never true in my case. I simply prefer the appearance of the female character models. And since I do not sit there imagining that my toon is actually me (never been much of a roleplayer), then her gender is in no way related to my own. I simply like the way she looks, period.

The people who worry a lot about this issue are often sexually insecure young males, who worry too much about hitting on a female toon and then feeling like a queer after they discover that she is owned by another guy. Which is actually hilarious, when you think about it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In any case, it is well known that the vast majority of EQ players are male. If all of us played male toons exclusively, then you'd be living in fag land every time you logged into the game. Who the hell wants that..? Not me, thanks. So somebody has to play the female toons, otherwise the entire game world ends up looking like a gay bath house in 'Frisco.

I agree that major things of the game should be left alone, I mean look how SWG turned out!

Back to EQ, I think that light blue mobs should have been left out.

Actually, my main was a ranger, male, because it fit the image I had of the character when I made him.

As a caster/healer which I play in pretty much any MMORPG I try now, I generally choose a woman. It just seems to "fit" my vision of my character.

... unless of course it is just my latent homosexual tendencies showing through...
