Women of Norrath, what's your experience?

[fastboy21]

was more of an issue on live...where folks took EQ "seriously". people have so many alts here and are so pixel oriented (as compared to game oriented) here compared to live that all social interactions have been watered down compared to their live counter-parts.

i agree that female toons sometimes get treated better than male ones...especially if folks believe they are actually played by females irl. its just a different social element of playing any RPG with women. It was the same in pnp games if you ever actually played with a woman in your grp. preferential treatment and kinder softer responses, as happens irl. this is one of the indications, imo, that EQ is immersive enough to actually resonate gender biases from RL into the game.

on another lvl, i also think having women in a overwhelmingly male game community adds something very dynamic to the experience. i get the sense that there were more women playing on live then there are playing here. no evidence for this assertion, but it feels that way to me.

All I know is that when I teabag sitting folks on tomatoes (female dark elf) they will usually stand and dance or interact in some way

On cucumbers they just ignore me

I just make the assumption that everyone I am playing with is a beautiful woman (male chars included), and I treat everyone like a princess.

If I ever get divorced I'll probably try to find my next significant other through EQ emulator.

There's more terrible male gamers than female gamers out there.

That said, I don't think there's one female in my guild on red. Better that way really, bitches cause drama over loot.

I'm amazed you guys don't have any females in your guild, really. And not all "bitches" cause drama over loot. Really, is it that big of a deal? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
