Hi everyone, I'm doing some research on gender and MMORPG gaming; can you believe some people actually study games!
Note: If you play as more than one character, just refer to your main character as it applies to this poll question.
Thanks for your contribution to Science!!

No, but everybody stated they're ingame gender anyway, so a poll wouldn't be really innovative.

Male playing male or female chars (Emphasis on male or female because I prefer the human race over other races where applicable in other mmorpgs)

Even though this is a poll, it has major flaws for research purpose because you are a sub population of the SRO gamers who actually visited this forum and read this particular post and decided to check one of the boxes!
The poll might be a better reflection of who (the gender) visited this forum.
Also, if you're interested to know; some research said there are actually more females playing MMORPG than the other genres of games (e.g. First person shooters -FPS), I just thought maybe not a lot of females visit the forums that would "enhance" gameplay and facilitate this "social" aspects of gaming... may be that's why more male die hard gamers! When you click on 'quit' you're still doing something related to the game when you're not playing!!

It's funny when 16 years olds are hitting on your female char. When they finally ask if you are female the answer will make them die inside.
It's priceless.

The funniest was when I was gridnign and some guy (for wahtever reason) was pissed off and talking to his friend who has a female character (if it's a real female or not I don't know)
Anyway then the female char goes "stay calm lol" or something along those lines, and then the guy goes "the only thing keeping me calm is your beautiful character"
I almost snapped my keyboard in half.

Your research is going to be pretty flawed, if this is all you're relying on.

Male player equals male character.
But i have a female character to.
Females are always nice to motivate you more when grinding or farming.
