Did you play a female, but you are really a dude?

Does that count?

Hahahaha this is hilarious to me. When I started playing live in 1999 I convinced my bro to play. He didnt think he would like it so he created a Female barb shaman. When he logged in there were two level 50 barb warriors waiting for new players that were married in-game to choose a daughter! sure as shit they chose my brother and he fell in love with the game and ended up pretending he was a chick for like 2 years of his life. I laugh at him every time it gets brought up cause my bro has always been kind of a bad ass. Anyways the parents never found out so if your reading this and you played Genedana or Fulkson on Rodcet nife back in the day... Your daughter was a dude!!! hahahah

LOL, I totally remember Genedana.

what a story.

That's hilarious!

My main is female, but I generally go for male characters as alts to avoid certain kinds of people. That said, I did know a few male-played female chars back on Tholuxe Paells. I was, after all, a member of BladeQuest, the all-female char guild. Most did it for the free hand-outs.

I think I remember this person. Barb sham as you stated, but I think I could have answered that on memory!

Wow, I would have guessed I was the only one...

Started as a joke to see if people really did give more freebies and help to cute female toons - and they do.

I have heard this time and again. People like to give stuff to female characters more than male (but not the Troll and Ogre ones for some reason.. yarg!). I know a few people who had experienced this on live. I don't think I could get used to being called sweetie and hun from the male characters though so I've only played male characters.

My main has always been male, normally my chief alt too. Lesser alts and trade bots or time wasting toons have been female here and there.

I remember the first female toon. It was in EQ Live, sometime in 1999. My wife created a female barb shaman on my account to try the game. She got hooked and her own account. I was farting around in a newbie zone on the female toon left on my account.

Some male gnome mage of a mid 40s level was killing guards. He was smitten with me and gave me plat and items. It creeped me out on a very core level. I still took the goodies as I could use them, but from then on I made sure folks knew I was crossdressing if I played a female toon.

Heh. One of my longest online friends from EQ 1999 forward... crossdressed and I didn't know it for years. When I found out I just felt like it made sense. They never attempted to hide their true gender. I and many more just assumed. I remember thinking from time to time, "man she's a lot like a guy, must be a tomboy". Hehe! It made perfect sense when it dawned on me. I felt a little silly, but not as silly as the fools that try pickups in an MMO!

Just as its been stated before I just assume everyone is a guy until its proven otherwise.
I have had female characters call me (a guy in RL and a guy in EQ) hon, or sweetie, or babe or whatever. I just take that (hopefully) it means they're a female in real life and roll with it. I don't make an issue or say anything.

I played a female on Gunbound.
