whats wrong with number 1?
my assassin in age of conan is called bety his RP is an evil homosexual that wishes he was a woman, but as his lives in hyborea there is no technology for a sex change.
edit : I do strongly agree with 2 & 3 & 9, tho. strange thread this.

Where is the I despise Fc option?
I'm not a no life that sits in front of his computer all day long, I'm an intern that sits in front of his computer all day long.
Don't see 1 and 3 being such a big deal.

LOL, I love your RP concept, it sounds great fun!
I can't see what's wrong with 'number 1' either. I have met several women that prefer to be called 'Fred' in real life, it's not that uncommon in the UK.
As for the other questions, I have never had a problem with whether the person I am speaking to in game is the same gender in RL. It rarely even crosses my mind, especially since many online games also allow you to play small furry animals.
If you can't "Have your cake & eat it too", then how can "The proof of the pudding be in the eating"?
Take the Hecatomb? TCG What Is Your Doom? quiz.
Making too big a deal out of the gaming gender, 'issue'.
I don't think anybody really cares, to be honest. So long as the said person doesn't act like a tool with stupid names and annoying behavior, touting their female bodies. That being said, I prefer a "gender balance" in my games.. not all male, not all female, etc.
I don't care that much about the gender issue. Play male or female, or a furry animal, whatever. I don't know who you are in rl, and don't much care if your gender matches your character or not.
One thing that's really hard to get right is a name filter. Often times they filter out to much, but at the same time you don't want a bunch of Legolas, Legolaz, Ligolas, and so forth in the game. At least I don't. You also don't want names like Turd, or Turd Lover (a pair I saw in City of Heroes once), and of course you dont' really want names like Ikilledjoonewb! and other retarded leetness.
If your going to play a female in a MMORPG but your a male IRL, name yourself a manly name like Fred imo. Or atleast gives me a heads up, I mean I like to cyber on teh internetzzz, and I dont wish to do it with some dude.

To all those who whine about guys playing female characters...
Would you rather stare at the backside of a guy as he runs around for hours on end?
-------------------------
Well I didn't know I was supposed to be looking at my character's ass while I'm enjoying the game I'm playing.... although, I guess thats an important feature for some? ...
1 & 3 don't bother me but I agree with the rest, and I can't think of a MMOG that has done 9 well.
I don't despise, I dislike
1 - I dislike missions/quests that tell you to go some place or see someone but do not tell you where it/they are.
2 - I dislike drop rates on items that should practically drop everytime, like boar livers or the magic sword the boss was just fighting us with.
3 - I dislike nonsensical drops, why did that wolf have a knife and money?
4 - I dislike corpse runs, so I got beat up and woke up naked at a shrine, creepy.
5 - I dislike missing with melee weapons, seriously if the target didn't move then how did you miss a sword swing? What are you drunk?
6 - I dislike elves, I like to kill them anyway.
7 - I dislike too many dice rolls, there should be a certain degree of common sense, I don't care if you rolled a 6 I ran behind the tree before you could shoot me.
8 - I dislike caveman fighting, don't you think you should block more often or are all those blows to the head messing with your hand-eye cordination?
9 - I dislike magic resistance, I have plate armor and a freaking shield, I think I can handle a fireball.
10 - I dislike random chests and boxes, why is there a chest filled with money and pair of gloves in this ogre cave, I didn't realize ogres were intelligent enough or had the craftsmenship to make chests, I figured they would have a loot mound, silly me.
Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit
Silly random post ftw!

I dislike vanilla ice cream.
I dislike puppy poop.
I dislike threads like this.
I dislike you!!!! (I'm so bored right now)
I wouldn't know , I've never viewed pixelated sprites as having a gender.

The easiest way to avoid confusion with my female characters is by nameing them "I have a dick" right off the bat, seems to clear things up.
Can we add to that list "Despise people who try and promote an MMO (Atlantica Online, I'm looking at you) for some silly reward if they can fool people into subscribing, then spam the forums to hell with their threads"?
