The Docta	Posted - 2005.07.02 08:43:00 - [1] Hi. Are the females I see mostly played by females irl? I think that the EVE females are hot and I want to make a female alt, but Im not sure how the EVE community sees this. Lol, idk how many real females really play this game anyway, but I doubt it's as many as I see or even close to it.
Deja Thoris	Posted - 2005.07.02 09:20:00 - [2] If people have a problem with it I'd refer them to a shrink. It's a picture in a game populated by aliens, it seems silly to worry about the gender of said alien.
Thousand Fluffles	Posted - 2005.07.02 09:33:00 - [3] Flutters eyelashes LOL, no seriously, I don't think it's a problem, everyone assumes male until proven otherwise anyway.
Bryanna Rivellan	Posted - 2005.07.02 12:06:00 - [4] I personally chose a female character because the male ones were fugly.
Lord Tinker	Posted - 2005.07.02 13:49:00 - [5] I do know a few rl females who play eve, infact it was a female that introduced me to the game in the first place. Our corp actually has two that are without question real females The UKC
Rayisa	Posted - 2005.07.02 15:04:00 - [6] I have to agree with a previous comment... Female avatars look so much better... "Big, Strong, WOW!"
Jean Satre	Posted - 2005.07.02 15:47:00 - [7] Originally by: Rayisa I have to agree with a previous comment... Female avatars look so much better... I'd have to disagree with that. As you can see, I'm very hansome!
Sku1ly	Posted - 2005.07.02 17:31:00 - [8] I'm a lady!
Jean Satre	Posted - 2005.07.02 18:36:00 - [9] Originally by: Sku1ly I'm a lady! Now, either your female, or you watch little britain
Jean Satre	Posted - 2005.07.02 18:39:00 - [10] Isn't Eve basically a role playing game anyway? Girls can be boys, boys can be girls...
Virida	Posted - 2005.07.02 18:44:00 - [11] "The men are boys, women are men, and all the small girls are FBI agents" Always though that saying is funny.
Cosmic Dragon	Posted - 2005.07.02 18:55:00 - [12] Im a MAN [beats chest] Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beer Holder!!!
Amiga A4000	Posted - 2005.07.03 07:11:00 - [13] My Girlfriend. Noble One is a real lady, and in Space I've only one person I fear, She who commands me to do the ironing.......... Don't try to be a great man, just be a man and let history make it's own judgements.

Nuala Reece	Posted - 2005.07.03 11:30:00 - [16] There was an interview with one of the devs a while ago where he said around 99% of Eve players are male - space trading/fighting games have a hard time attracting female gamers apparently. There was one spectacular thread a couple of months ago from a CEO who was so appalled to discover one of the female characters in his corp was being played by a man he kicked him out. But pretty much everyone else seems to have a healthier, more realistic view of things (aswell as enough of a grasp of mathematics not to be surprised that almost every female avatar you meet has a guy behind it). Be Free Freelancing Corp
Grimwalius d'Antan	Posted - 2005.07.03 11:34:00 - [17] Who wouldn't wanna be beautiful anyhow? That is the one aspect where women will always have an edge over men. Not even if your homosexuality knows no limit, you can't deny the beauty of the phenomenon that goes under the title "woman", hell, even most women agree to that (I have yet to meet one that doesn't have a crush on or think Angelina Jolie ain't pretty). When Im really bored, I'll sit down with the EVE Character creator and forge the near perfect woman (No such thing as the perfect one) and give her a name. If I ever made an alt (or somehow decided to kill this char) it'd be a female character. Oh, and please, make an alt. Your male Sebes is depressing to watch.

Maybe if they included cooking and washing skills?....

Sirkill	Posted - 2005.07.03 18:45:00 - [21] Its not 99 percent male its more like 90%-95%.
Oriella Trikassi	Posted - 2005.07.03 21:24:00 - [22] It's a Well Known Fact researched since roleplaying games started with Dungeons & Dragons that players divide into: 1. The majority, who play their own sex since it doesn't occur to them to do otherwise. 2. A minority, who deliberately sometimes play the opposite sex for various reasons that do not include real life sexual hangups. 3. A smaller minority, that think (2) probably do have real life sexual hangups. Eve seems to have a higher proportion of (2) and lower of (3) than the average. Reams could be written about why females are attracted to different games than males. Indeed I gather reams are presently being written by researchers for the big games companies who are keen to turn the other 50% of the population into customers. --- I need to know more
Xrystal Belle	Posted - 2005.07.13 18:21:00 - [23] Female here .. just started out .. been playing SWG for 2 years and Sacred for several months .. and the only female dominated online game (Sims Online) and ... and .. list goes on. If I see a game that shows promise of business elements I just have to check it out. Considering replacing one of my SWG accounts for this one so testing it out for a while. Im not keen on fighting dominate games but now and then is fine. Now if only they merged the best of this and the best of SWG Id be very happy
Ben Derindar	Posted - 2005.07.14 02:40:00 - [24] I have a female hauler alt that I inherited to my account from a friend who left Eve shortly afterwards. So I myself had no part in the decision to make that character female - my understanding is that her original creator simply wanted something nicer to look at than another bloke. /Ben

Call me up. I've designed POSs that make upwards of 50m a day.
Vel Kyri	Posted - 2005.07.14 08:19:00 - [26] I never understand why this topic always comes up in every MMO i've seen. sheesh. -----
Sku1ly	Posted - 2005.07.14 12:29:00 - [27] To add to my previous comment. I just like the idea of having *******.

Miss Daisey	Posted - 2005.07.14 16:11:00 - [29] Go for it, no one will stop you, and if they try, they aren't a cool guy.

Kaaii	Posted - 2005.07.14 18:22:00 - [31] The trouble that I have, disclosing my sex, is that from then on I get convos and eve-mails, "wanting to chat" re: cyber.. If I wanted to be hit on, Id go to a bar. I play this game (and have since beta) because my (now-ex) boyfriend started to play and quit, giving me his act. I stayed because I like it, well, the crafting (building) aspect of the game appeals to me. In EQ, Horizons, DaoC, I was a crafter first, and and adventurer second. Still holds true today.

Dae Xjyn	Posted - 2005.07.14 19:41:00 - [32] It only matters if you have some strange concept of this game as being some sort of dating service. I play both female and male characters in MMO's and everytime someone has taken the trouble to ask me if I'm a female in real life, I have answered "yes". They then immediately and unfailingly begin the sad process of trying to "hook up" with me in whatever sense they have convinced themselves is possible, as if I would ever meet them in physical space, or give them any information that would allow them to find/contact me in the real world. If you're looking for a date, log off and go outside - try pubs, coffee shops, grocery stores, book stores, etc. That's where girls hang out. If you meet one flying a battleship in space, there's virtually zero chance you're going to get laid by them.
Jenny Spitfire	Posted - 2005.07.14 20:23:00 - [33] Edited by: Jenny Spitfire on 14/07/2005 20:30:42 Male... female... male... female... does it really matter? ;/ Just play the game, if you see a female avatar, assumed it is a female and treat her with respect. If you see a male avatar, do what boys do then... But be wary, girls do not play barbies these days, we just collect em ;O Hmmmm... any female thinking of making an all female pirate/bounty/etc. corp.? Would be funny though, Les Amazonnes. ;p ----------------------------------- Eve is all about Darwinism: 1. Only the fittest survives. 2. Only the paranoid survives. 3. Only the pretty survives. 4.

Don't know if its still around, or is all girl still "The Valkyries" or Valkyries...something like that.. "..Id rather fall beside 10 lions, then stand with One thousand sheep.."

Scoundrelus	Posted - 2005.07.14 23:11:00 - [36] I dunno about the rest of you but im neither male nor female. As you can see to the left, im an exclamation mark... in recent years we exclamation marks were considered "not a part of society" but in the days to come i can see that we shall finally be accepted for what we are. A loud angry people.

Genevieve DuLac	Posted - 2005.07.16 17:38:00 - [39] I had the cunning plan that playing a woman would mean that I get shot at les by blokes. So playing a blonde consumptive looking woman was a double win. I've had some weirdos spamming me with BAD french poetry but other than that it's been cool. Plus, making my character a blonde annoyed the living **** out of a brunette girl I was seeing when I created her. sigh happy days :D
Jallianai Maya	Posted - 2005.07.17 12:13:00 - [40] I would say like this as my bf got "some" eve accounts he got both female avatars and male avatars. Hes CEO is a IRL female too I mean in EvE now. dont know where this data of 90% is males in eve come from as EVE is full of playing "irl" females got friends who playing eve who I def know is females inc me then a ex got a friend who are having a male avatar but hihi her cover was blown when she enter the TS and started chatting :) I aint mention any names now hihi I realy dont know EVE is a different mmorpg not at all like Everquest II or soo and it's realy nice for a change too see a game where you actualy can make a differance on the market or do what ever you feel like. I could make a list of females who plays EVE but I would be hunted for the rest of my life after I did a thing like that. O btw I dont doo cyber... I got the real stuff boys
Viance	Posted - 2005.07.17 16:29:00 - [41] I'm a male-- I'm not trying to fool anybody, just wanted something nice to look at. ----------------------------
Mougi Enigma	Posted - 2005.07.18 04:19:00 - [42] I personally don't play female characters, well I did in Lineage 2 for a couple of days. I personally consider everyone I meet a male until I know for a fact other wise. And even once I know the only thing that might change is I might go a little further out of my way to help a girl then I would a guy, but thats it. I don't play this game to meet girls, I play to build stuff and blow stuff up. But thats just me. Mougi Out of every 100 men 10 should not even be there, 80 are just targets, 9 are fighter, we are thankful to have them, for they make the battle. But ONE, one is a warrior and he will see the rest home.
Miss Anouckx	Posted - 2005.07.18 09:26:00 - [43] I'm male and always play female chars :)
Jin Entres	Posted - 2005.07.18 11:32:00 - [44] Playing female characters may work as a tool to gaining assets, trust and general liking for many. As players are mostly single men in their 20's and 30's, the interest in the opposite sex is obvious, even in a virtual world where one would think it might not matter. Most females who don't hide their gender know this, and many undoubtedly use it to their advantage to e.g. gain higher ranks, charity or loot distribution bias, or simply to be let in a corp/guild and skip the rites of initiation. There are of course many that would rather hide their sex, and play as one of the men, or simply not abuse their position. Men like to do women favours, and when in combat men often try to protect the women by the norm of chivalry. Men are also more "fair" to women, and tend to argue less with women. These are of course generalizations, and by no means apply to many situations and/or people. I know many who play or roleplay female characters. Most of them are male. Many if not most female avatars have been chosen just to please the eye, and for no special reason. I don't mind that, because I always assume everyone is a male. Furthermore, I don't try to investigate which sex people are. I admit I'm also more easily persuaded by women, which I can't help, but this is an MMORPG, not a dating sim or the local night club. Other attributes count considerably more. And finally, here is some statistics of gender and age distribution in online games. Also read this if you are interested in the motivation differences of genders. I also recommend reading other articles New signature pending
