WAR (Warhammer Online)

im a married 30yr old guy with 3 kids i almost allways make chick toons i do prefer the way they look ...

I must oooooooooze machismo because when i play girl characters i dont get anything going. Even when i run around nekked.

I do not understand why any person would feel a need for acceptance of his peers to play a character of his choosing, in a game he payed for and continues to "rent".  You don't know these people, they have no right to question your choices so why should you care, love how you like.

More fool them for trying to flirt with someone who only exists in a hard drive zipping about as electrons to and fro between your computer and theirs.  Desperately they try to evade their quasi-guilt and self made shame over something that never existed in the first place.  People should be more forward, if they want to flirt online they should ask up front and save the trouble.

Perhaps if all else fails maybe they can introduce a seedy nightclub and sleezy hotel for all those people who really do want to get it going online on a safesex pseudo date.

Some guys don't want other guys to play female Avatars cause it ruins their illusion or ingame fantasy if you will. They ogle some hot chick ingame just to find out its a guy, it makes them uncomfortable and they put the blame for that on the guy playing the female toon instead of themself for investing any of their interest in a polygonal model of indeterminable actual sex in the first place, lol. Personally, I play a few female alts from time to time and you know what? I sometimes prefer it. For anyone who thinks thats gay think about this, who's gayer? The guy who would rather be stuck staring at a chicks butt for hours on end or one that would rather be stuck staring at some dudes?

Like many of you I will be pouncing on this title the 18th of this month. My Only concern right now (laugh if you must) is me playing a sorceress ….the female version. Reason being is that CGI trailer, she is hot full stop. Now my own personal rules dictate that I don’t play female characters in MMOs ( am male by the by…) as when I tried it in WoW, I got dodgy whispers form what I can only presume were pre- pubescent teens. So anyone else in the same boat? Shall I just ignore the perverts?

there is a male version of that class in the game you wouldn't have to play THAT class as a female. i'm the same i refuse to play female characters due to the same reason as you, damn emo's lookin for internet love and thinking every female character is a "hot chick". first mmo i played was PSO back in the day for dreamcast, where there was an actual difference between the male and female classes. the female hunter had the most rounded balanced stats so i made one got tells all the time for b.js and happy jacks, was like wtf is wrong with you fuckin losers?just disgusted me to the point i quit playing her and didn't like the male hunter as much he wasn't as good with magic as she was so eventually quit altogether. so leason learned and never rolled a female character again.

like i said there is a male version of THAT class but tehre is some classes that are male or female only like the witch something forget the name was female delf only looked like it might be a rogue type class idk didn't try it or really even look at what it was.

Well made my mind up, I m gonna roll that sorceress! Very valid points that it is just a graphical representation etc. One thing I would like to pick up on is the tomb raider comparison. While I agree, I have to say that there is one feature that warhammer has that TR does not. That is internet communication and the fact that people are able to communicate with you and elicit all their emo sexual fantasies on the unfortunate player. I have never gotten a whisper when negotiating cliff faces in TR!

Hmm Yer hawt baby. Wanna go kill some sexually ambiguous cousins and get all 'fired up', with me?' (says the big dopey brutish Orc named StudBanger). Hur Hur! How old is yew? Y'know. IRL? Youse hawt? Got sistas? I'm purty kewl huh? I made dis orc 'cuse I know he wuld be BIG..if y'no what I mean. HUR HUR. Wanna  hot chat now?

(sorry Deadly...the devil made me do it!)

Doesn't WAR have gender restrictions on some classes? I haven't been following it, but I thought it did for some reason.

Anyway, I'm sick of seeing this issue come up, it's only a big deal if you make it a big deal (which you're doing). If someone gives you shit call them a loser and move on, because it doesn't matter at all. Real girls deal with annoying people hitting on them all the time as do some guys. Suck it up, file it in your brain under "things I probably shouldn't do" and move on.

As to everyone else, there's NOTHING to understand about it. That guy in the game is not you and will never be you, it's a game, and whether or not the polygons resemble a guy or a girl is irrelevent. People who care about this are probably the same people who force me to mute them when there's a girl in the group.

I roll females, and never ever have problems. I am male.
