As we build New Eden, let us reflect on the deep thoughts in this meaningful 4.5-minute commentary.

Well that was informative. Phrases like "you can't nerf / buff X EVE is a Sandbox" have the same amount of meaning as "If this is a sack of potatoes then you can not carrot." - Alara IonStorm |

It's a shame there isn't some content here as this is a deep subject and well worth a lot of debate.
Getting more women into EVE would, IMO, improve the game a lot. I think there are a huge number of fascinating social roles (spy, diplomat, leader, thief etc) which could be advertised more actively and I think would help to attract more women.

Are you suggesting that a collection of giant metal phalluses ejaculating each other in space is less attractive to women than a good collection of clothes, shoes and hairstyles to display on a doll alone in a closed room? |

Yes but that would probably lead to topless shots for director status for a few months as an infiltration tactic, mass controversy as one troll, collects them for a while, probably mittens or something i dunno, then posts it and harvests the tears like never before, lolsuits and the like, CCP collectively pissing their pants at the threat of being sued to death ect
in short, it would be amazing and it has to happen
too bad the harshness of EVE already rejects almost all new players anyway, i propose girl friendly pink spaceships, special bonuses and more clothes

Lol. There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency. |

my roommate tells me that in EVE's past, picking female characters would net inferior attributes than male characters.
I'm not sure the 'female character' thing should be pushed further, or we might end up with EVE pimping. or go full-monty and have proper lapdancing (and not just some repeated "crouching" emote or whatev).
tl;dr SO WHAT IF every character in any game where I got to choose the gender, I pick Female puahahhaa http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Buckingham Buckingham is my Vanilla Sky ||-áVincent Athena, I made something for you: http://i.imgur.com/hrxcc.jpg |

Yes please, more women in EVE. This place is about like a junior high boys phys ed class locker room.

A huge problem with getting more of us ladies interested in EVE, is that a lot of you gentlemen don't act like gentlemen. Casual sexism is really off-putting at times. I know, HTFU, but really..even in jest, it gets old, fast.
Along with that, there are a LOT of creepy people in EVE. Well, not just EVE, but gaming in general. Getting e-stalked by a desperate guy is really an unpleasant experience.
Still, for the most part, the manly members of EVE ARE pretty decent. It's the few who make it look bad. Same for the ladies..you don't hear about the awesome FCs and cool female CEOs, but we hear all about "I'll show you my boobs for a director spot!" |

EVE has a pretty substantial boys club, i dont think the casual sexism will be going anywhere soon
As for the creepy stalker people, petitions and wardecs exist for a reason, although given the sheer amount of people of course there will be creepers, just gotta deal with them as they come
to be fair i assumed that EVE was like 99% guys playing as girls, the "No Girls on the Internet" thing Nivin Sajjad > we fly perpetually networked, neural interfaced spaceships yet can't communicate coordinates to each other without physically passing back and forth little pieces of paper. it's weird |

EVE is a lot like the military, as for being a boys club. Most guys will get the hint when you toss them a "hey, not cool", but there's always one idiot who pulls a "Herpdurp Hay woman go make me a sammich durr I told her to make me a sammich isn't that funny HTFU don't complain." It doesn't seem to go the opposite way though, as those same men really can't handle it when you start insulting their masculinity. Nothing better than listening to the explosion on voicecomms, when you imply a guy's wedding tackle is "just adorable". |

I blame the great Achura Flood of 2007. New players were told by older players that they absolutely had to roll Achura if they wanted to have a decent, competitive character. And since the Achura males in the old character builder looked like creepy, haggard pedophiles, most of the new players went with Achura chicks.

I've lost what little shred of faith in humanity I had. Ohh gawd. She's not even that good looking!
I give up. Guys, I need some plex. In return, I'll let you "plex" me. In the dark. No unnecessary touching. I get to listen to my IPod.
(That was not a real request I still have some respect for myself you can still send plex if you want. Just no booty.) |

Are you kidding me?
Not even that good looking?
My parents used pictures of her face to scare me when I didn't want to eat my broccoli as a kid.
It looks like a frozen lump of toxic waste inside a chemical toilet.
Women like this usually try to stick to blind men, but even a blind probably wouldn't touch her face, because I bet it even feels ugly....

I think this MMO is pretty much limited in what it can offer the ladies without changing too many things.

In RL I would describe myself as a gent. I always pay first and generally I take the time to shower.
Ingame - gender is not important. Female/Male - I'll treat you the same.. Most do not care what sex you are other than those who don't get any therefore horse- remove yourself. |

it's probably more like...47% guys playing girls lol
and a personal note about the sexism thing...i've experienced it in every single mmo i've ever played to varying degrees. though, to be honest, i've dealt with it less in this game than in others. perhaps it's just because i'm pretty new still and haven't faced the full spectrum of players yet. or, just maybe, the community is slightly more evolved in general than the likes of warcraft, rift, or AoC communities are.
i long since learned to roll with the punches. should i have to tolerate crap that in the first place? no. i should not. but, it is what it is i suppose. give as good as you get and move on.
