(1,333 posts)52. Oh you still get lots of
goodies and attention as a female character. I played Anarchy online in the mid 2000s and just about the moment you come out of newbie island to the main island, you immediately get players offer you credits, armor and mentor ship. My guess is that it is dead in games that have voice chat.
I later revealed to my org that I was a guy and some of the attention died down. Also we had 2 real females in the org of about 300 real players not alts and they were treated with the utmost respect. There are very few of them in MMO games anyway that when you see one, you want to do everything in your power to keep them.
