    I know you're trolling but I'd just like to say that after playing every female char possible



    female archer > all



    Actually, that wasn't a troll post. I actually do like the looks of male archers better than females, especially with the long hair. Though I would be trolling if I said Lion Barbs are the most beautiful race or male Tideborns have the best back support in perfect world though.

    There is no denying that the utter and complete badass sexiness of female archers is completely OP.

    Female archers > All. Period.

    I am not against people playing as characters of the other's gender. I guess it is a component of MMOs.

    That said, the point that bugs me to no end is guys creating girl characters to get stuff from other guys, with elaborate charming schemes. It may be sly and all, but it's much pathetic in my opinion.
    I don't bother with in-game/forum relationships anyway. If some found real happiness experience (true love) from the game, I am glad for them. If it's just about lovey-dovey roleplaying/flirting, I don't mind too much either, but again, things can turn for the strangest (this may interest you for further reading: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1070561).

    So yeah, I am glad to be a loner and I am no lunatic. Thank you. b:laugh

    No, no, when I say 'lunatic' it means that I am not a crazy guy in real life.

    It's up to you on how you live the game. I just have it my way (silly burger slogan reference, I know). And then, if you find me too strange, your loss. Just kidding. b:laugh

    It's important to appreciate diversity and keep an open mind. If you are too serious, you can't enjoy life. but then again, if you are too carefree, problems will stack up and hit you at the worst moments.

    I agree with OP.

    I'm a guy, I'm straight, and all 11 toons (except for my barb ofc) are female.

    I've been playing female toons since Street Fighter II, Chun Li ftw.

    My first char was veno and I made that choice based on the pet aspect though.

    Don't forget that Chun Li kicks butt and got much success and recognition because of that alone.

    I'm a guy, but most of my toons are female. But then, looking at my toons' names, it's fairly obvious I'm not trying to trick anyone into thinking I'm anything but a dude.

    While I do have a character that is male, I rarely play him and I go back to my female ones.

    The fashion is better.

    I am a girl btw. I don't care what anyone else does as long as they're not being deceptive about it.
    Censorship is the bane of creativity. Censorship is the bane of personality. Most of all...censorship is the bane of identity.

    My main is Ivy_. I'm better known as Destini. Also known as _Yvi. Yes, I have an identity crisis. b:chuckle

    Looking for a signature for this character. Wanna make me one?

    I'm a girl irl and I always play female chars in MMOs. I have many guy friends who play female characters and it's kinda annoying because one of them wanted to marry me (ingame ofc) and I said 'I would say yes, but your BM is a girl...' He was like 'Oh ****, I forgot...' =_=;

    Most girls don't like to play male characters. It's because they don't think about $ex all the time. Guys only play females because they like to fap when they see pixel ****. Ew. x.x

    Well some guys do, true enough. And some girls do think about $ex all the time.

    Personally, I don't want to stare at beefcake in the middle of my screen all the time. Then again, some guys like that. Who am I to judge. To each his/her own, we all make the world a more interesting place!

    Sorry, feeling curiously optimistic.

    Oh, also meant to say in my earlier post that if asked, I never deny that I'm a guy. Not trying to be deceptive, nope.

    BTW where'd all the Denizens go b:chuckle

    So i was checking out the forums and ran across a thread about scams that somehow degenerated into a qq about ppl being pervy and i started thinking about it. All my toons except (obvoisly) my barb are female. My logic is: as a guy, if I'm going to stare at a CG cartoon character for hours on end, said 'toon should prolly have a nice rack. (typical guy thinking i know) I don't mind if ppl call me "she" or "her" in-game, cause unless i'm on my barb i AM a girl in game, and i usualy don't bother telling ppl unless they ask ('cause that's all i'd EVER do if i did), and if they ask I tell them the truth. So for my own personal curiosity, I was wondering how the community at large thinks on this and what influenced your choice?






    b:question

    Completely agree with you there.

    On topic, I am a guy and as you can tell, I say who cares what gender your character is? After playing GunZ (FPS) where learning something called "K-style" in it was easier on female characters due to the animations, I have really not cared one way or another on what gender I play. However, my logic is somewhat different. I feel that if I am going to play a character, I would rather it be more aesthetically pleasing, and not just "hey, these pixels be hot, yo." The female Cleric animations, though they are the same as the male, seem more visually appealing because the female doesn't look like a little...off doing it. Just the same, male Wizard is more appealing.

    Personally, it is all about what looks good to me in total. However, that wasn't the logic behind this Seeker. I just am a big Claymore (get it?) fan. However, had I known that Staggering Strike was going to always make me think of my Seeker saying "getsuga tensho," I would have gone with a male one.

    Honestly, I don't think it matters. If you are comfortable with your own sexuality, I don't see why it would be a problem (unless you purposely make people think you are a gender you really are not).

    I prefer the whole thing about females in this game compared to males...the stances, the skills animations, the fash, etc. I DO NOT make chars that would be obviously made by a guy, mine are actually pretty :3...IDK maybe because I'm bi /smiles

    I'm a male, and I think most of my characters are female, by a slim margin. The ones I've played seriously are male though, and I don't lie about my gender in any case. I think the alts are female mainly due to my fascination with the boob slider.
