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!

Recall a buddy played a female wood elf called Sweetcheeks or wth it was, begging from lvl30+ people in Rivervale. Got a ton of stuff, chilled in EC selling and buying and had yaks and crap in classic in no time. Future used car salesman.

Never heard of those. Hilarious. Brilliant.

I never look at gaming (or working out at the gym) as pairing opportunities. So, in gaming, it doesn't matter what gender they really are. Although I do think it is a bit weird for a guy to play female characters; I know that tons of guys do, lol.

/edit removed the 'gay' comment after further consideration.

Also, yes I have drooled over wood elf females as much as the next guy. :P

I find it quite funny it's considered more gay to look at a female ass than a male ass (assuming you play 3rd person of [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

well I don't know about EQ but if you play a game like TERA you're pretty much obligated to roll a female character.

I didn't on live, but I do on here.

I find male enchanters to seem very date-rapey, and felt uncomfortable playing a male enchanter.

I have this debate in my head sometimes, but EQ's models are bad... then worse... and while the originals are sexist and the females look like highly pixelated adult models... ide rather that then Mr. Nobut and Snake Pliskin 00013445 or Gnome BABBY

When it comes to ogres and trolls... the males are sexier by a hairs width... thats about it =P and thats not sayin much, just that the females for those are so ugly as to turn a straight guy into an ogre man lover.

Tera babes on the media page were hawt =P

I guess I'm cursed cause I grew up in the low bitrate era =P so pixelation of my babes is no big drawback lol.

Funny ass thread.

I think a lot of guys created female characters back in the day, completely unwitting of the response it would receive from other dudes. I know I created a cute little gnome from the beginning of EQ that I thought was so cute as a kid. Then all of a sudden everyone was all RP flirting hard on my gnome, and I was like wtf.

Was a totally different time. Even on non-rp servers, everyone sort of roleplayed to some degree. Except for the horny naive young guys hitting on your female toons, it made for a more interesting experience.
