Just wondering. Why do you play as a female when there's a choice, and the only thing that changes is your avatar?
I can understand a guy playing as a Mithra because they have different stats therefore you choose the race to fit your playing style.
Not judging or anything, just honestly curious.
Edit: Actually, vice versa too. If you're a girl why do you play as a guy?

Not judging or anything, just honestly curious. Maybe because they wanna look at boobs, and girls butts while they play?

I don't know about some, but don't Mithras have the best EVA in the game?
As for the others... I was under the impression they did it for the free stuff provided from lonely geeks.

Why are they staring at boobs and girl butts? Surely your attention would be better focused on the action?

:o that's kinda creepy lol. I'm just curious, outside of the "I like to stare at a girls *** rather than a guys ***" I've never heard anything else. I don't understand staring at your characters *** anyway, unless you're going to fap all day every day.

For example, there are many rpgs w/ female lead roles that are awesome games.
However, it is *** up when you try to portray yourself as a female when you're not.

Well the only other online MMO-like game I've played outside of XI was PSU, and I had female characters on that because of stats.

Oh yeah, I understand that. I play as a female in some games... A game that provides alternate stats for a female, or different dialogue, and obviously I play as a female in games where there's no choice.
I should rephrase, Why do you play as a female when there's a choice, and the only thing that changes is your avatar.

Well that's understandable. Choose a character to your play style, if that's female them meh.

Stuff looks better on female characters. That's really about it for me.
Granted, my character was made male, but I find myself plasticsurgeoning myself into a female fairly often lately. I'd blame the Darksteel Subligar in my PDT set if I hadn't been doing so before I made said set.

Oh I know, I'm just curious why people like to portray themselves as a girl, unless of course you are confused etc which is fine. I should say I wonder why overtly straight guys choose female avatars.

Fair enough, I can understand that to a certain extent too. Plastic surgeoning isn't so bad either.

For a while I knew a guy who purposely portrayed himself as a female in order to get free stuff...the sad part is, he got TONS of free gear from guys, even very expensive items. I lost all respect for him after that, I thought it was disgusting. 8(

Chose mithra cause i looked at the game before i created my Character, saw i wanted to be a THF, and mithra had the highest DEX/AGI.
So i went with that!
Also, Galkas looked horrible, Elvaans were ***, Tarus were for attention ***, and Humes were too boring.
So i went with the E-*** with high DEX

I've known a few guys who've portrayed themselves as lesbians. That was kinda weird. Entertaining when it all came out, but weird none the less.

I always got the standard "it's something better to look at" when I asked my friends who play MMOs as the opposite gender. Personally, I prefer to play as female in games like Mass Effect. Don't get me wrong, I played both Mass Effect 1 and 2 first through as a male, but I always found playing as a Renegade FemShep much more enjoyable.
