I just call random people by their characters gender even venos that way i cant get confused and 99% of the time i wont offend actual girls the other 1% is girls playing male chars and with guys you never know but thats their problem
by the way im male irl and i play female chars(not to scam ever) other then veno and i dont care if randon people refer to me as a he or she different when im in the same guild as them or they are on my friends list though and i wouldnt treat others any different

Well, this is all just my opinion of course. But my reasoning is that nobody wants to look at an ugly character unless that ugly character is supposed to be modeled after them in real life...

Linchen would like to have a word with you...

This is Role Playing. If you are role playing as a female: you get addressed as a female.

+1 on this....I dont care about the gender of the player -_-

That's messed up. I worked months on making my veno extremely hot, she has a narrow waist and a delicately rump bust, and lucious hips. And that makes me a guy W_W;

I'm a girl, that doesn't mean I don't like my characters to be curvy. If you look at both my veno and my wiz, you would possibly think they're guys simply because they walk around in bikinis and wiggle everywhere, and. Well, that's just how I play.

I go by everyone's PWI gender when I matched them. Only time I ever seen the rule not apply is to some venos that I was in guild with, and my wizard's husband who is a barb chick, but I wouldn't trade her for any guy barb in the world.

So it really doesn't matter what gender they re. Can you play your class? How can you tell if someone can play their class right? That is the question you should be asking b:chuckle

It really doesn't matter what gender a player really is unless you try to flirt/hit on them. And doing that in a video game is just silly, IMHO.

EDIT:

99% of male characters are guys.
50% of people who claim to be girls are guys.
90% of people who wear a bikini are guys.
99% of ugly female characters are girls.

If it's a female blood elf, it's a guy. If it's a male bloodelf, it's a **** guy.

But in any case, no girls on the internet.

Riverwell - Archosaur

This thread is the stupidest thing I've read. It's full of idiots who think they can tell a guy from a girl. I'm a girl IRL and I
-have skimpy fash
-have a curvy figure
-spell all of my words out
-will make sure we have a plan in an instance
But also
-I own more that 1 or 2 pieces of fash/outfits
-they match
-they're on rotation
-I ask to be held for chi
-my hair is pink
Everyone who is making lists about how girls act vs how guys act are idiots. Go by the gender of their character, and if it's really botherigng you: ask. (This has only happened to me once, I thought a barb might be a girl and I asked them...nope, it was a guy -.-)

Sabatier - Raging Tide

this thing still going?

really folks what does it matter? if you wanna fap off to some anonymous pixelly **** is it gonna stop you that there is a guy at the other end?

just take people as you find them treat them as you would want to be treated and play the darn game already. if you want to date find a dating site

It could be an extrapolation from a smaller sample. After all, just because I got 2 apples, 2 oranges and a donkey doesn't mean that 20% of what I eat/own isn't donkey.

And yes, donkeys.

And no, I'd never actually eat donkeys.

"real girl" playing female character:

-- Has more than one or two fashion items
-- Fashion items have been dyed (even if it costs 19 dyes for each piece) and pieces -- Wears long flowing dresses a lot.
-- More apt to put short hair on the character.
-- More likely to make a straight-line, thin character than a filled-out curvaceous one
-- Fashions are on auto-rotate
-- Will ask to be embraced for "chi"
-- If cleric, won't heal other female characters dressed better than she (ok, this one stretches too far for a joke).
-- Calls everyone "hun"
-- More concerned with equitable, fair, fun groups than power squads with an everyone for themselves attitude. [I like both]
-- Won't initiate or accept many duels

G.I.R.L. playing female character:

-- If character wears any fashion, they are the random colors coming straight from the vendor/boutique (no investment in dyes). Even if it is an orange top with purple skirt.
-- Character is usually in a bikini
-- Character has derogatory name such as ImaWhore, FoxySluut, DoUWannaDoMe, etc...
-- Character bust is as large as can be made and waist is as small as it can be made
-- Tries to dictate detailed squad strategy 30 minutes before reaching the boss.
-- Will not ask to be embraced for chi and turns down other's offers to make chi
-- Tells other players how to play their characters whether they ask for advice or not.
-- Frequently wants to duel

Feel free to append this list

I think your list is either way off or I got a problem b:chuckle

Just ask them, PW isnt a dating game any way and well... you should be able to tell what they really are if you read between the lines.

I do this without even realising call everyone in squad "Guys" or "Mate" I am not in to the whole calling women hun and blokes dude... You either mate or guys and if you take offence to being addressed under them names your probaly a dude... People who pipe up with "I am a girl" at the easist convieance usualy turn out to be the guys.


I dont care if your a girl or a guy if your a cool person I will help you if anything lying to me that you are a girl and it coming out later your a guy well then your gonna loose everything.

Im alright if the person is just referring to a group/squad of people, as in ''hey guys'' since its really a genderless sort of thing imo. I dont like being called hun...maybe if they know me well >_>; and I would take offense to being called mate... b:surrender that's just kinda uh D8... Maybe its just since im from the US xP

I used too be friends with a veno everyone thought was a female irl. A guy met and married this veno ingame, sincerely thinking she was a she irl. They were married for a over year or so and seemed to have one of the biggest and best romances on and off the game.

Till the guy pressed the veno to meet - really really hard, and so the veno confessed she was a he.

The guy was so crushed, embarassed and humiliated, he just quietly left the game. And of course the veno inherieted everything. Part of me still wonders if the veno was just **** and could not admit it... or what ever.

I think that if a guy wants to play girl character, then cool.. go for it. But if a guy hits it off with you, atleast tell him straight out 'hey - just know I am a guy irl, and not a girl'.

I think that even though it is 'just a game' - many people do go on to have irl relationships and I know of many that have.

I play a veno and I am a girl irl but many of my friends are guys and play guy characters. I think when friendships go on for years in a game, and you find out someone you thought for years was a girl ingame but was a guy, there is a small degree of betrayal and the question 'what else have they lied about'... 'and why did they lie'.

Male play as female is alright. As long you not playing on China, on some company male playing female is banned there. Which seem the reason why many female player there. Why banned ? Because the official think male play as female is sign of homosexuality and can make a homosexuality couple, but about **** couple i dunno if they also ban female playing as male . . b:surrender

Well on place with no rules like that . . male play as female is alright . . as long as you not end up playing with someone heart . . b:surrender
I mean just tell that you were a male if someone ask, but if some who ask actually a **** (or a female playing male) O that's your choice.
