1.what is your gender?
2.Have you ever played a character of the opposite sex?
3.why or why not?
4.Do you often suspect anyone else of playing a gender not their own?
5.Do you treat players differently based on their avatar’s gender?
6.Have you taken advantage of your characters gender?
7.If you know someone is playing a character of a gender not their own, do you treat them differently?
8.Would you be more likely to play a character of the other sex in another game? If so, which one(s)? Why?

1. Male
2. No
3. Because I'm a male

4. I think female characters are male players in general. I think 99% of the players are male. But that feeling is not based on proof or facts.
5 No
6 Can't see how
7 No
8 No, my character is an extension of myself in the virtual world and I'm a man so I create a male character.

wanmoke · Apr 16, 2008, 11:30 PM // 23:30

1. Male
2. Yes
3. Variety. I have 16 character slots, I can't make them all men.
4. Always.
5. I try not to, hell, I don't know if I do.
6. No.
7. See 5 above.
8. Generally no, unless I really like the game. I don't like to lie, so I try to play a male so people know.

Articus Red · Apr 16, 2008, 11:43 PM // 23:43

1.what is your gender? male
2.Have you ever played a character of the opposite sex? no
3.why or why not? i'd feel too feminine if i did, so therefore i stick to male
4.Do you often suspect anyone else of playing a gender not their own? yeah
5.Do you treat players differently based on their avatar’s gender? meh, sometimes, well i'm nicer to chick characters but i still dont give them any special treatment when it comes to actually getting something done in the game, do it themselvess..cause its probably a dude haha
6.Have you taken advantage of your characters gender? no, no one gives male characters special treatment
7.If you know someone is playing a character of a gender not their own, do you treat them differently? no, if i know a guy is a playing a girl character, i treat them like a guy
8.Would you be more likely to play a character of the other sex in another game? If so, which one(s)? Why? nope.

1. female
2. no
3. because I am a girl and dressing up and making pretty girl toons is like playing with barbie dolls

To me all male armors looks the same ( and arent pretty enough

), and I am addicted to armors

4. ofc
5. uhm I never think about person's avatar tbh,sometimes i dont even notice it, so that would be a no.
6. no
7. ofc not, atleast 50% of guys have famale toons ( talkinga about gw), dont see anything wrong in that.
8. nope. can't see myself playing male character.

1) Male
2) No
3) I don't want others to think I'm a girl... and it's just messed up.
4) Sometimes
5) No, except for calling them a he or she
6) No...?
7) Maybe, might laugh at them
8) Only if I don't have a choice, ex: tomb raider or other mmorpgs where you can't choose gender

1-male
2-No.
3- Instinct, I guess. And I try to make my characters look a bit like me. If I ever make a fourth character, I might make a girl so I can hear the female voice acting, but I'm not sure even if I will make a fourth character.
4-Don't really pay attention. However, if a "woman" is being incredibly flirty, I assume it's actually a guy.
5-I'm instinctively slightly more polite to "women". I'm a bit old-fashioned, that way. Since I'm usually the only person in the room who uses full sentences and no abbreviations, I doubt they notice.
6-Well, if my character was female, I couldn't be the bluesman (inside joke). Besides that, no.
7-Not usually, though I have some contempt for those discussed in point 4.
8-well, games with a fixed main character who is female, of course. Maybe if the male voice-acting was really lame, or the female voice-acting was really good.

4.yes
5.no
6.what?
7.no
8.yes see 3

NaimaOmadara · Apr 17, 2008, 12:32 AM // 00:32

1. Male
2. All The Time
3. I Feel More Empowered Playing As A Female
4. Of Course, Everyone Does It
5. At Times, Yes
6. Only When Someone Else Takes The Initiative
7. In A Positive Way, Not A Rude Or Negative Way
8. I Mostly Always Play Females In Any Game

RhanoctJocosa · Apr 17, 2008, 12:46 AM // 00:46

kooomar · Apr 17, 2008, 01:00 AM // 01:00

1.male
2.yes
3.because its an option
4.no way, im the only one
5.nope, treat everyone as a 15 year old boy until proven otherwise.
6.yup, got her drunk and took her out back
7.yeah, cause im supposed to be the only one
8.mario, id love to play princess peach

Chaos55 · Apr 17, 2008, 01:04 AM // 01:04

1. Male
2. Yes
3. Staring at a male character hurts my eyes. I'd prefer to stare a female character in the long run.
4. All the time. Just because someone plays a male/female character is never true they are that gender in real life.
5. No
6. No, I say right out I'm male and they just treat me like a guy.
7. No
8. With GWs, the freedom to make each character male/female is always a plus. In a previous game, when you registered, you had to choose a gender and all your characters were locked for that gender. If given the choice, I'd still play a female character. Sorry if I'm being a pig but females are just better to look at. Simple as that.

Age · Apr 17, 2008, 01:20 AM // 01:20

1.Mostly Females
2.Yes I have.
3.NA
4.Yes.
5.No unless I really know who they are.
6.No
7.No
8.I might depending on what the game is and graphics.

1 female
2 yes....I have 3 characters in gw that are male that I play regularly
3. when I made my first monk---the female choices were HORRIBLE (dont go for the bun head look), so I made a male, my male rit was nice to look at and my male necro was just because I wanted to show people that necros can be ok looking.
4 yeah most people on gw like to play other genders (and my husband has more female characters than male---he has ONE male character that he created so we can play together).
5 no, should I?
6 just how would you do this---its only pixels on the screen...
7 no why should I?
8 if the creation screen offers horrible choices for my intended character then I will probably make one of the opposite gender......though I havent as of yet made many male characters in any game I have played.....

5.Nope
6.Hmm... not really, no
7.Yes, because I find it a bit strange.
8.No. I'm female. Why would I play more male chars?

To males that play females to have something to stare at: They're pixels. should u really be staring anyway? ew.

If most male characters didn't look like they want to take a fat one in the pooper, more people would play them. The fact that 90% of the armors look better on female characters also supports this.

1. Female.
2. Yes.
3. I think most of the Sin and Rit femmes are ugly. ):
4. I generally assume the player is male until proven otherwise.
5. Nope.
6. No, but I take advantage of mine. ;]
7. Of course not.
8. It depends on the game. Some games have bonuses inherent to male or females of a species, so I'd choose based on bonus abilities.

Dallcingi · Apr 17, 2008, 01:41 AM // 01:41
