wich mmorpg has the most girls?

k11keeper

I honestly can't say. In the older days of gaming I always just assumed girl characters were guys even if they told me in chat they were a girl. Now a lot of people use VoiP tools because it doesn't mess with your bandwith as much as it used to. So it seems like more girls are playing MMOs then before but that is problems just because my bias has been removed.

To the 67 year old granny who plays that is awesome! I love when older people play MMOs. I was considering trying to get my 80 year old grandma to play a game with me but I'm afraid she'd never get out of the house if I did. For an 80 year old she's just as computer savvy as any 25 year old because she was the first person in her area to buy a home PC back in the 1979s. It was made by texas instruments and used cartridges similar to old nintendo cartridges. It was supposed to be just a display at the local sears but she bought it.

Also I may be way off, but just from my own personal experience I've found that there seemed to be more females in more sandboxy games like DA (Dark Ages), Runescape, EQII, and those types of games. I actually wish there were more females playing MMORPGs though because the girls I have met and talked to on MMOs I've connected with way more to and have had great conversations and gameplay experiences with them. But not being straight may have something to do with that, I don't know.

There's actually quite a few girls playing mmo's.  Maybe I saw the most in LOTRO.  There were quite a few in WOW though as well. 

Yah by sheer weight of numbers I would guess WoW has the most females playing it.

Same here, especially since WoW seems to have roped in a lot of people over the years who might've not played online games otherwise- My mom does arena with her rogue last time I checked. And she is one stiff-lipped public servant.

Strictly personally speaking, I find that there are more girls in the RP communities regardless of game.

Lol. Good guess.

 

But on a somewhat unrelated topic... isn't it nice that Ragnarock II has now knocked SB off the page frame ad space? I mean...these sexualized anime little kids at least have some clothes on!

I met my wife playing EQ1, in Estate of Unrest. We have since been together for 13 years. Never been happier.

This is not true in the slightest. I'm sure a few do but most girls I've met play female characters and many guys do as well. I've never seen or heard of any harassment problems nor do I know how you'd even do that. Half of the female toons are guys anyway and everyone knows it. Besides, most people I've met in games don't care one way or the other. I don't know what kind of shitty people you've met but I've played several games and just acting normal having fun, playing with friends - I've never had issues, nor have I met anyone that has had issues, nor is girls playing male characters anywhere near the norm. I'm sorry that you had a problem with it, but that's not the average experience.

Yea I have run across way more males playing females than I have females playing males.  I asked a good friend of mine once about the idea of playing a male character and her response was she just couldn't relate to male toons.  I don't know if I would go so far as to generalize but my feeling is on average males tend to look at their toons as puppets where females tend to project themselves into the toon more.

Yea I would definitely agree with that. That's why I just can't play male toons, either. It's too weird.

I don't know which game has the most females, but when I played Dark Age of Camelot years ago there were always quite a few women about that played with their spouses. I do know that I usually don't play the side with the ugliest female characters, like in WoW, the horde at first only had those ugly trolls, undead, and orcs for females so I refused to play that side lol.

Before trolls start saying GIRL =  GUY in real life

We came a long way and gaming isn't just guys thing or nerdy guys thing. Gaming is now hip it's popular and even girls are playing it now. I am also talking about girls that are above their 20is, not teens or kids.

From my experience girls like more adventure games or role playing games, although there is girls that play shooter games, stuff us guys never thought girls will do cause they always like cute stuff. They also like games that has good character customization, cloths, hair, face. Since we all know girls are into make up and dress up and that stuff.

So the question is in which MMORPG are the most girls playing?

I personally think it's probably Tera online, because it has good looking female characters, girls like that their character look good and has good enough customization for them.

Another game i think it has a lot of girls is Champions online, a lot of customization. Where girls would often cosplay as furries or other characters.

well considering the numbers, the largest number of players + the ratio of girls:guys in any population I'd have to say it's mathematically WoW hands down. I met more girls in WoW then any other game I've played and I've played tons of mmos.

The obvious answer is WoW. It has the most people playing by a long shot, so it would also have the most women.

< Gay male that plays gay male tooooons (lol, spelling it like songs at 1st).  

 

I don' t think females are as drawn to shooters as guys.  Like me they seem to levitate toward the fantasy.  That doesn't mean you wont find a straight fem or two committed to shooters.  As far as what game has the most females - probably WoW simply because it has the largest # players for an mmo.  What would be more interesting would be percentage reflections.  What percent fems to males are playing fantasy mmo or shooter mmo?

That's probably true, but I use to play M.A.G. on PS3 and probably the only fps game I really got into. I was at number 2 knife kills for the whole game for months on end when I played heh. Loved using the knife the most and I'd clean house with it lol. My husbad thought it was funny the people that would scream "Get that B****H!!!" when I'd run by and kill them, then loop back and kill everyone that came to res the person lol.

I think % wise out of what I've played coh had the most female players

Wow probably number 2, or maybe war, daoc or eq. (A lot of the women in my war guild played goblins for some weird reason)

Least would be eve easily. Both planetsides were low too.

Stereotypes are bad. Lots of my chic mates love playing Mortal Kombat or Gears of War. What MMO have I personally encountered the highest ratio of female players? Probably Everquest 2.

And before you claim that they are there for the crafting, most of them were in hard core raid guilds. They did tend to gravitate towards healers or support roles however.

mmorpg with name  facebook  :DD have most girls

tinuelle

Scarlet Blade for sure. Loads of hot girls.

Why would you care?

(Well this didn't deserve a serious answer, otherwise they'll harass those girls in those games! :P)

You can't stereotype women into a specific category, cut it out.

[mod edit]

I think this is the offensive stereotyping he was talking about. There is no correlation between gaming interests and appearance. Video games are not a niche hobby exclusive to men. Most girls under 30 grew up with consoles and video games.  

ThaneUlfgar

I was under the impression that there are no gurlz on teh intrawebz.

worldalpha

Based on our stats from surveys, etc. we know it is less than 10%.

Denambren

World of Warcraft is probably your best bet. Lots of guilds to choose from and many of them have women who play.

 

I suspect we are going to see quite a few women in the World of Darkness MMO coming up.

I disagree with that stereotype. When I used to live in europe my friends and I were playing halo and CoD when most people in the US were at work. Surprisingly a ton of housewives try their hand at the games their husbands probably play when they get home. There was a group of about 5-6 housewives we used to play with almost daily and out the 4 buddies I played with only one of them was better than those women. I myself was worse than all but one. I'm not really an FPS guy anymore now that PC is no longer the way to go for FPS games.

[mod edit] But generalizations are generalizations and since people have now learned to let go of the male gamer stereotype (grease-stained hamfisted layabouts), the same courtesy should be extended to the ladies.
