First MMO i played was WoW, first characters i played were a human male paladin, dorf male hunter and finally I settled on a male night elf warrior. Although i liked the playstyle of the class, the character himself was kinda meh, after about 4 years of playing him character sex changed became available and i got him changed to a female toon.
I dont 'identify' with my avatar, i dont 'RP' and i dont make my characters look like me. I'm one of those that believes, if i'm gonna be spending hours and hours looking at somethings backside it might as well be something nice to look at. Something that i always say about MMOs and how you can tell what kind of person is really playing by the kind of Avatar they have.
-male toon = male IRL under the age of 18 and female any age
-female toon = male IRL over the age of 18
Funny side story about this characters name and avatar. When i rolled Gallente and picked the azn looking race, i changed the facial features around. Unintentionally, i thought she turned out looking like the chick from X-Men 2 (hence the name). Another funny side story my first toon when i started playing which is now in biomass was named "Amanduh Tucker". If you cant guess what i am IRL by looking at my first and last name, then yah be careful who you cyberz. |

lol thread is still going,
It always turns into a long thread no matter what MMO forum i see it posted on.
For me the reason only goes as far as 'ohh my toon looks pretty cute', and i think nothing of it (or people that do the same). What I think is funny is the theories that a lot of armchair psychologists come up with.
-you're gay
-you're straight but deep down you're gay
-cant get any IRL
-wants to bang their toon
-is a cross dresser
-insecure
You know back in the day Diablo 2 had 3 characters that were female with no options for male. Should i have not played any of those characters? because we all know what people like to think about that dont we. I wonder if maybe the people who over analyze this subject are the ones with actual hidden/repressed issues here. |

It is pretty obvious that many of these avatars simply represent a juvenile male fantasy of what their ideal sex toy would be.
**reads the above, looks at Cyprus' avatar picture, reads the above again**

EDIT: but seriously though, video games is one of the few places where i can act immature. I'm not gonna sit here, play a game and act all serious and mature...i do enough of that at my job (act serious and mature that is...not playing games). |
