There is Nothing Wrong with Girls / Women playing wow, we are all created equal in the WoW World, If it was meant for only men, Then that would make the game look like a some kind of Homo Fetish game where Homosexual Men In and Out of the closet from all over the world could play men and women characters. And with that said the Truth is most Girls / Women are Better player's Period And in General Better Healers and Tankers than Most guy's, I have played with in the game. And now with the Voice Chat live, it's nice to hear a Girls / Womans voice instead of guy's all the time.

Ha! I also am one the many female players on WOW and so far am the only known one in our guild but I play just as well as the rest of them! I also maintain living at college and having a pretty good social life (heck we just went to a dance the other night, dress and all!) I also maintain riding and training horses and teaching young kids. Telling a girl she can't play WOW is just ridiculous. You have no idea how many guys love that us girls play and I have so many awesome friends on and off WOW. Let girls play, it opens their minds.

How amusing. Our guild is a female majority. Most of our members went to WoW after SOE train wrecked SWG. In SWG we were one of the larger guilds on the server, with all female avatars and a majority of female players behind them.

I did find this to be one of the more entertaining attempts to fish out female players though still pathic.

I play World of Warcraft and I don't consider myself as masculine. Gaming these days is less about insecure young boys losing themselves in a fantasy world and is more about people who have little time or money to spend socialising in their nearest dive. Since mmorpgs became more popular and less of a stigma to play, people have discovered that it's actually quite nice to immerse themselves into a fantasy world and clock up achievements of a different and less demanding nature than those experienced in real life. The online communities involved in such games can be as compelling and rewarding as those encountered 'on the street' and in fact make it easier to discover social groups to which a person may belong. Coupled with messenger and chat interfaces, friendships can be formed easily. You'd have to be very sceptical to not accept the changes brought about by technology and equally you must be rather conservative to ignore the plethora of opportunities to form a relationship through online networking.

lol Good on you, Oraslee. I hate runs. I leveled slow but steady, reading the quest text to delve deep into the WoW universe and storylines, and running instances only with other people around my level, and it was insanely fun. Stick with it.

As for this thread, the originator was obviously trolling. This entire thread should be deleted. I just wish I could get my g/f to play with me.

im new to the wow sceen but I do know it dont matter what sex you are If she enjoys it let her play. My boyfriend got me started on wow and Im taking it slow and getting to the levels on my own. where some of the male players I know are always trying to get run throughs and help with their leveling. So which way do u figure is the way to play. I m just out to have fun and Wow is that . by the way Im 18 maybe a hundred and twenty five punds, cheerleader with my homeschool group, and get my nail and hair done ever other week . Too manly for you buddy.

lol thats....stupid :) games dont make u boyish or anything... i play with my friends (boys AND GIRLS) and none of the girls changed since we started playing, so dont worry about that :) its a great way to relax from study and work and u actually talk with people from all over the world, which i find kind of cool :) and...i think she is probably hating u for u discriminating her like that... i hated when my dad let my brother stay on the computer longer because im a girl and dont understand much of computers (my brother was pretending to work on some program, and whenever my dad was away he was playing :D ) let the girl play :)

Remind me next time I post in pimp mode to make the Title "Girls Girls Girls MMO" lol. Seriously - every thread shows 20-30 views...except this at 500+ LOLOL. The best FPS clans I was in for UT and UT2004 have been run by Ladies and the few I've met openly in MMORTS have been ruthless!!! All in all - who cares unless it A/S/L time in which case ... get out more lol.

MMORPG = Mostly Men Online Role Playing Girls

Well ... I have to say the original posted of this thread needs his head examined .. lol

We have 3 female officers in our guild and they tend to be better then most of the guys.
Also, one is a model, one is a single housewife and one is a married renovations specialist. Talk about well rounded group. They all have great lives, tons of friends (on AND off WoW) and 2 of them have great careers. They do the same things any other woman does and go out all the time. They play WoW as it SHOULD be played .. IN MODERATION!! .. and Women WoW players being masculine?? .. Damn dude, I ought to send you pics of these 3 .. lol .. you'd close yer mouth right away on that one.

Saying that women shouldnt be playing WoW is like trying to tell my 2yo daughter she cant play with toy cars .. ie: GET REAL!! .. My neice (19yo that most younger guys drool over) and her boyfriend play together all the time and they love it and gives em something to do together other then her watching him sit there and play or it starting arguments cause she is bored. Women always have and always will do as they please and all the more power to em. Hell, I dare you to find a guy who never touched a barbie or played hopsctotch or the like when he was a kid (and if ya say ya didnt then yer fulla crap).

ps: I'm a 33yo martial arts instructor (shotokan karate) with 5 kids and a 25yo wife. Well built and certainly more then masculine enough and yet i can admit to watching the occasional soap on a day off (any guy saying they havent is full of it cause what else is on TV during the day) and played barbies with my sister to keep her busy when i was a kid. Stop trying to over-generalise and get with this century. There is very little in life that is based on gender these days and certainly NOT what games people decide to play or toys they play with. GROW UP!!

wow.... Now this seems more along the lines of a forum troll rather than a sincere post by someone expressing their thoughts and concerns.
Who in their right mind would say such things and mean them? I picture a fat balding man, beer in hand, grimey clothes, sitting on his front porch using a bucket as a chair with 5-6 dogs running around in a yard with no grass. He turns to yell at his wife who of course is in the kitchen barefoot stirring a pot of beenie weenies and calling it dinner. Seriously though what man in his right mind in this day and age would force his daughter into an antiquated sexist role that went out the window how many decades ago? Now there are women who choose this as their fate but while your daughter is still a child you should allow her to experience lifes many facets so that she may better find her place as an adult. I personally am an educated female who through certain circumstances thought it best to be a stay at home mom but I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit my ass on the sofa and watch "soaps" while my brain turns to mush. I also resent the insinuation that a woman who plays video games is some sort of butch bull *** wannabe. Seriously like I said what person in their right mind would post such drivel and mean it? If he does mean it god help his poor daughter who will probably have her will broken and turned into a baby making machine by the time he's done hammering his sensibilities into her. I'm done with my rant to leave you with one more thing. A REAL man would know better.
