Do any females play this game?

Flammey · 2003-08-29, 11:58 PM

I'm actually interested to know the answer to that question. I played MOHAA for 16 months, and it was rare to see a female gamer, and ever rarer to see a good female opponent. I'm just interested to see what the percentage of males to female is. But that would be extremely hard to bring about, as not everyone would tell the truth, or even post their gender.

There's only the disturbed guys that want to live life as a girl.

I'm sure there are some women, but most arent willing to admit they are women because of threads like this.

*LOL* Yeah, I'm sure that's the reason.

My outfit (Phoenix Legion) on johari actually has quite a few females in there, how do we know? we use TeamSpeak.

I think Team Speak is very invaluable to PS. I hate typing everything. I also hate getting typekilled.

But sadly not enough people know/ Dont use it!!!!

I wish for just once, I could get everyone into TS for the squad!! Comon, a mic usually come with the computer!!!!

Lucia on VS Konried has like 21k kills to, doesnt play much either...

She scares me.

My wife played for a bit, got her infiltrator character up to BR 10 but she hasn't played in a few weeks at least, I think she's done with it, I think she's back to playing myst and riven or maybe siberia, some crap game like that. I'm impressed I even got her to get into PS enough to get her character to BR 10.

Is there anyway to change a characters name? I'd love to fool around with making her char a sniper or something like that.

Phaden · 2003-08-30, 02:17 AM

I dont think you can change the name.

But ive seen some chicks but ALOY of guys playing as chicks, which is always freaky......

I dont think women are into the FPS as much as men are. I come from a RPG background and thats where the majority of your female gamer population resides.

Sputty · 2003-08-30, 03:22 AM

About 90% of gamers are male across all genres. FPS abd other action games are a high male percentage 95% or higher
MMORPGs are around 85%
Games like Riven are much closer, like 50-60%

Sputty speaks the truth.

My previous outfit had a girl in it, she had a lovely voice too

ThundaHawkPS · 2003-08-30, 08:29 AM

Our outfit actually has 2-3 wives who play with their husbands. We also have 1-2 additional females (this has been verified to some extent, so we aren't just assuming here). However, I think it's obvious that the majority of your players are going to be male. So in the end it only becomes a big deal because of the huge division in gender #s. IMO really not worth stressing over. If it is fun, play the game. Nothing else should matter.
