Yer so right.

[Furiously]

I think the texture is higher quality there too.

Who am I kidding, I'll be rolling a blood elf mage on release day.

Edit: I fucking hate elves.  But she's hot.

[schild]

You people make me sick.

[Rasix]

This is where I become glad WoW has put in so many content cockblocks in. I really hope my guild goes a step further and implements a no elves policy. 

[Lantyssa]

I dread the expansion's release for this very reason.

[XMackenzie]

I think it's funny that the screenshot has the elfie chick wearing Green iron shoulders and legs - two of the most hideous armour models in game.  Also mismatched glove and belt because looking like a hobo from 1-59 and beyond is the matter of course for the game.

I'd really like armour dyes - night elves (err blood elves) be damned.

[Shockeye]

I am so playing a female blood elf. Strazos, I'm sorry I have mocked your mangina.

[Hoax]

This might seriously fuck up my server's population balance. We somewhere around 1.2:1 A:H ratio depending on you who ask.  But now that they have super boobies, if the Blood Elves get an even better stripper dance WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!

Seriously though, if Blood Elves can be rogues, I quit.  UD rogues make me sick as it is...

Blood elf dance is the twist.  There's an animated .gif and ymtd of it somewhere around.  No word yet on Rogues or Hunters, hopefuly they won't be either, just cloth classes and warriors.

As for the blood elf chick.. it's the same model as the Night Elves, right down to the underwear. Only difference is the skin/ eye/ hair color and the hair model. The power of the mangina shouldn't be any more than night elves.. I guess color does matter to some.  :-D

[Xanthippe]

Most of the women I have gamed with haven't been interested in Horde races at all.  This will likely attract more women to the Horde side.

The only reason I started Horde at launch was because I was playing with a buddy who insisted on Undead.  I wanted to play Alliance because of the looks of the toons, but preferred to play on the less-populated side over what my toon looked like.

After playing both sides, it seems to me that there are more quests for Alliance and that the quests are more fleshed out.  That's merely my impression, however.  I don't know what's been added to the Horde side in the past 11 months.

My next toon will probably be a cow though.

And the thinner waste, and more upright ears, and more heart-shaped face, and 20% higher poly count, and so on.

[kaid]

Well I for one will be glad when the bloodelves are added. The population imbalance on eonar is really sick and anything to lure some of the alliance players to the horde team is a plus.

Also as much as many will hate them one of my standard group mates currently just cannot get into playing any of the horde races. She has always played humans or very close to human appearance characters and just does not seem to enjoy for any lenght of time really unusual races. This kinda sucks for me cause I LUB my shaman but I have never been able to lure her to the dark side for more than a few days before we go back to alliance.

There is alot of speculation about what the alliance race is but frankly it probably dosn't matter. I can't think of any race that will draw people more than bloodelves.

[Azazel]

My first WoW toon was a NE Hunter, since I played around with one in Beta and enjoyed it, but I went with a male character since I was sick of being hit on as my Female Dark Elf toon on EQ. I'd chosen a chick because I'd rather look at girl ass than guy ass for extended periods, the downside was that I got a bit tired of:
1) people assuming I was a girl because my toon had tits.
2) people actually giving a shit about the gender of my character.
3) people really treating you very differently because of 1) and 2)

So, to get away from the dark side of Mangina, I went male NE. Unfortunately, the male NE model is the most ugly fucking ill-proportioned player model in all of WoW with the possible exception of Undead (which at least has character). I set up a female NE mule so I could compare the two, and the femme looks decently proportioned while the male just looks like he has malformed limbs.

Next Character (and now my main, as the NE is retired) was a Male Dorf Pally, and that worked well.


I showed my Wife the Blood Elves, and despite not being especially interested in the Night Elves, she liked the BE's and wanted to make a BE Mage (despite the fact that she's already playing a Gnome Mage). So if she ends up making a BE, I guess mine will be a chick as well. Unless I just start to play my L6 Tauren Shaman instead. MOOOOOO~!

Yeah, Tauren it will be, actually... but IF I made a BE, it would have breasts on the basis of the males looking like crap alone.

[Llava]

I'm sorry, I've heard that so many times from so many different people, it just sounds suspicious to me.  I mean, I'd rather look at girl ass too, but is your toon really doing it for you?  And what about capes, does that ruin it?

[Kageru]

Capes can be turned off. A lot of the males also have excessive muscle (orc males don't even have a wrist!) which looks okay for a warrior but sort of silly when you're a mage in a dress desperately running away from every other class in the battlefields. Would be less of an issue if they had two body builds for males. I notice the BE female model still has the exceptionally large hands of the NE.

I guess this also means that playing a female troll, tauren or orc becomes evidence of being oldschool.

They didn't have capes in EQ1. And like I said, my main in WoW is now a Dwarf male. The female was in EQ1. Now I'm just happy to have a good looking toon, whether it's male or female.
OTOH, my male Night Elf (and everyone else's) just looks like an ill-proportioned ugly piece of shit. So if I play another elf, I'll take Miss Perkytits, thankyouverymuch.

Unfortunately, many male character models in a lot of games really look shit. It's like the art department really puts a lot of care into the female models and not nearly as much into the males. WoW is uneven, but some races really score. Like the Orcs, despite the wrist thing, look really good in both genders, same with Tauren. Elves, not so.

Actually, I'd add Trolls to the same category as Elves. The females look decent, except for their moccasin-feet, but the males look stupid. (to me). Also, neither the females nor males look anything like I imagine a "troll" to look like.

My NE Male in beta was a druid so I spent the time staring at the tail end of a bearboar thing most of the time, anyway.  Now that I'm playing horde side, I have a tauren druid.  It seems to play somewhat different.  I feel like a more successful caster/melee hybrid than I did back then; don't know if that is racial difference or changes to the druid class.

Where'd the higher poly-cout stuff come from? I keep hearing it but dont' recall reading an official announcement of 'omg more polyz'.  Yah I missed the ears, but the waist/ face are the same as NEs.  I've got a pic in a similar pose I'll drop later for comparison.

Yes, and Yes, which is why capes are always off.

We all have our deviances, at least mine isn't animals or furries.  To take care of the 'r u a girl' I just plain say no and leave it be. Fucker's the idiot confusing online games with dating sites.

[MrHat]

lol @ poptart today in EQ2.

Her toon is totally female with huge knockers, and they refuse to call her a woman.

/laugh

[Azazel]

Actually, the thing I found most annoying was when you ended up grouping with a few decent people regularly, and just because I acted like a normal human instead of a moron, they'd assume I was actually a woman. So then you had to do the whole "oh BTW guys, I'm actually a guy here" whenever you got new regular groupmates. It just got old, is all.


also...

What's poptart?

[Ironwood]

SuperPopTart.

Blue Name, Concubine of the big H and all round gritty bitch in the mornings.

[Calantus]

I'm in the same park as Azazel, I'll play whatever looks good to me as far as gender. Orc it's female for caster, male for everything else. Tauren is undecided. Troll is female. Undead it's male. Night elves it's female (wtf @ the males, they look so stupid). Humans it's female (male faces suck and they look too muscly for casters anyway). Gnomes it depends on my mood. And dwarves it's male.

In WoW it seems like a lot of people have caught on to the fact that most of the people you meet are male regardless of their toon's gender. You still get the occasional "is X a female irl?" questions and sucklike, but most of the time they seem to be fueled by mere curiosity. I'm playing a male char again now, and I haven't noticed much of a difference in the way I'm treated.

[Azazel]

The other thing is that WoW simply doesn't have the ongoing pickup community to it that EQ had (as has been said a million times, not least by our mate Brad) so as you're levelling, you don't often PUG with people for more than an hour while you do 1-6 quests, usually never to see them again. Add to that pretty fast combat, and there's not a lot of time for young and retarded males to hit on you.

Then again, I haven't levelled a female elf or human in WoW, so that's just supposition, but I think it makes sense...

[Hoax]

I have never played a female toon and I never will.

Actually I did come very close to playing a female elf in L2, but come on, who didn't at least consider it?

First of all nothing in MMO's irritates me more then when people treat female gender toons with more respect and kindness when they are a shitty player who should be told to stop sucking.  Ok one thing irritates me more, and that is when I treat a female toon better then he deserves because of my stupid subconscious.

This rule does not apply to female NE druids who randomly heal me in a BG even if I'm not grouped with them they get much  

[Azazel]

Actually it works both ways. It's just as annoying when people would for some reason prefer the undergeared Paladin to tank over my SK, or want the shitty monk to be the puller or somesuch, because they were judging my character to be less effective or smart or whatever, because (unsaid) I was "just a girl".

Again, more an issue when levelling up and in a PUG, because in xp grind groups at 60/65/70 you'd just compare AC/HP and at an extreme, you'd simply take aggro when the other tank showed they couldn't control it properly.

Yeah, I'm an okay Paladin in WoW, but I was a damned good SK in EQ1. That's the thing I miss most about it.

[Margalis]

I re-installed FFXI recently and while playing as a Mithra (female cat-lady) some guy was like "you're cute - are you female IRL?"

These may sound incredibly gay to some people (not that there's anything wrong with that) but I choose characters almost entirely based on looks and I find female characters often have a wider variety of things like costume options, hairstyles, etc. In EQ2 for the week I played I was a wood elf chick because I could have cool red hair that stuck straight out on the sides and some cool tats on my face.

In all games (not just MMORPGs) I tend to play either female characters or oddball characters. In Street Fighter I used Zangief, T. Hawk and Blanka. (And Guile, because Guile was just awesome) In EQ2 my next choice after wood elf chicky was either frog or rat or lizard.

[Paelos]

I don't even notice anymore. At 60 everyone's so clunked up in armor it doesn't matter.

[Llava]

I have never played a female toon and I never will.

Technically, you're playing a female toon in the MMG that is f13.net.

Sure, everyone knows you're a guy, but the face next to all the text is a chick.

But otherwise, I'm in the same boat.  I am heavy on concept when I play a character, pretty much all the time.  Female concepts just don't work for me, because I can't immerse myself in them.  Comfortable as I am with my sexual identity, my brain just tells me "No, you're not a chick."  So I don't fight it, and just make males.

I think that, if I could play female characters from a concept perspective, I'd be better at relationships.

[Zetor]

Yeah, I have a male gnome warlock and a male gnome rogue... but for my warrior, I ended up going with a female gnome just for the omg cuteness factor. Ever seen a female gnome in full valor? How about tanking Drakkisath? Or cutting things up in battlegrounds with a huge ass 2-h axe that's larger than she is! The female gnome emotes are pure gold too.

GO GNOME OR GO HOME!!1111
... that is all.

Yes and no. Night leves still look horribly proportioned and stupid.

I'll second those comments about female gnomes. Cute on a stick.
