But, my husband likes a good guild system and cool clothes for his characters too. I can tell you a couple things I havent seen yet in a mmorpg that, as a girl, I would be interested in. 1.) toons that can have long flowing hair. And an option to change my do whenever I want. 2.) changable aparal. Depending on my mood. Nothing is worse than being stuck wearing a lame outfit becasue it has good stats. (but Probably guys think this way too.) 3.) I would like to be able to design armor, trinkets and jewelry as a crafting profession. Obviously they would have to make this profession comply to the lore but man that would rock! there you have it. Disclaimer: I dont pretend to speak for my whole gender either.
well the only mmo i know that has that is ro, and as a guy thats one of the things i liked, i like being able to change my hair colour, to suit my armor etc... but other then that game nothing elsde.....i guess that means waiting for ro2...on the other hand though alot of devs forget about this much in depth customisation... or leave it till a patch when its to late.

you sound like a whiner You are probably one of the guys with half a brain.
no really im just fooling around... iv played whit a lot of girls in mmos during the years and some of em have been extremly good and dedicated players.
but anyhow back to the topic i belive that girls usually have the tendensy to either be very casoual players or really hardcore there dosent seem to be to many there between. This is ofc compered to my standards of what i belive is hardcore :P

Age of Conan will do this, except possibly changing your hairstyle. They did say certain parts of the characters looks can/will be changable in game, but I suppose they technically didnt mention hairstyles specifically.
However, the game will be rated Mature, and for good reason, I don't know how you feel about that.

That is because, overall, women playing MMORPGs tend to be older than the average male playing MMORPGs. While most women you come across will be well above 18, there'll be a fair share of male players who are under 16 and therefore more prone to being immature. Biologically, there is nothing that dictates one sex to be "friendlier" than the other.
I'm glad girls and women worldwide are having less and less problems breaking traditional gender roles.
Why would it matter? Are you going to pull or not?
I can't care less if I would be playing with cats, dogs, aliens or...*look shocked*, real girls. LOL. I hardly see the point of knowing such a silly detail considering you will NEVER meet that person in your group, so as long as it is "nice" and/or "efficient", can't care less.
If I think the person in front of me is a jerk, I may answer that I am a girl in RL just to report them when they go wild...but females avatars are much better to look at/hear them jump than males avatars.

Who wants to PL?
Girls playing MMORPG's...another non-issue brought to the reading public's attention. For the 556483th time.
My wife has tried at least every MMORPG I've played with the exeception of AO and EVE which didn't appeal to her because they were science fiction.
Once again, girls play MMORPGS and to the original poster, one day, if you're lucky, a girl will play with you too.
Now we're waiting for PotBS!
