Project Lore

oh btw why is there no guide for azjol nerub or ankahet yet? the episodes were done 1-2 weeks ago and im in need of the extra strategy the guide provides :(

I'll admit that I have some female toons. However the only real reason I made those toons female is because I like that modle w/ that certain class. Take my mage for example, when I made her as an alt, I first tried so many diferent male skins. I made her human as I wanted a human mage, that much was for sure; but when I tried all the make faces/ hair style/ Facial hair setups, I was not particularly happy w/ any of them as a mage. I then switched over to female and was swamped w/ humans who just cried out "I LOOK LIKE A MAGE". So I went w/ a female. Now this dosn't mean all my toons are female, to me, gender in games is just another decision shape the story or feel of your character; and while I'm not a big RPer, I still have some RP feel to each character that I make. For another example, when I rolled my first horde, I wanted an undead hands down; I then decided to roll preist, but I went w/ male b/c that's what I personally liked. And when I made my horde DK, I made the surprising choice to roll a female tauren; not b/c I have a cow fetish or anything, but just b/c I've always thought female tauren DK's looked awesome.

On another note, I ALWAYS inform ppl who I group w/ or random people who try to flirt w/ me when I am on a female toon that I am a male irl. But I don't do this alot as my main Ally is male and my main horde is male as well. :D

Im a male IRL and i play both male and female toons.

I usually choose the gender based on if its choosen many times on my server. For example when i rolled a DK, i picked a female troll, just cause you dont see that race gender/class that much. Could have also rolled a Female Orc DK wich only saw 1 time so far.

However my mains is a male since it was my first chr on the server and being my main think i prefer it being a male, but dont have any problems rolling female toons.

I play a female Nelf hunter, dude IRL. Since there isn't any difference other than looks I choose the gender that will look better.

I'm a girl and I've always rolled female. For my reasoning, I think it's kinda cool to see a female character owning in a arena or raiding as a tank. Because of that, I suppose, I get quite attached to my female toons in the end. Also, not that I mean offense to anyone, but the male character don't look...very attractive.

On another note, I have several male friends that always roll female, too (though their first toon was a male). Once I asked one of them why they always faked their gender. His simple answer was, "I don't want to look at a guy's butt when I'm raiding for two hours. Really, I don't."

My daughter just started playing recently. Her char's are guys. I asked her about it and she told me "If I'm gonna to look at a pretend butt, I'd rather it be a guys." Somethings father's just don't want to know.

The only female toon I ever rolled was a night elf/ blood elf. Why? they are seksi :)

I'm a girl and I only play girls if I can, because I don't make up characters that are different from myself. If I could play for the Horde as a human female raised by Trolls, with a loft in Silvermoon, I would. But, I can't. I usually stick to Trolls because I like the cultures they've borrowed from for them. The guys do capoeira, the cities are inspired by Meso-American architecture, and they're religion is a play on voodoo and various shamanistic rites.

As for other people, I really don't care much at all. I'm looking to play, not for a date, so what you play as is of little concern to me. For the record though, most of my guild is made up of girls who migrated from a more girly game. Some of the newer recruits who are guys were a bit surprised at first, but that's about it.

I did have this one guy ask me if I was a real girl as I was standing in the middle of the Xroads turning in a quest. I hadn't spoken to him or anything beforehand. I asked him if he was a real orc, and then headed out to Ratchet. He followed me all the way there and went on some tirade about how it would be wrong of me to play a girl if I wasn't one. That was pretty much my first and only WTF moment regarding gender. I ignored him and went on my merry way.

Oh, there was this one tauren druid in cat form who basically used the emotes to hump my avatar while I was in ghost wolf sitting at the mailbox near the bank in Org. No, just...no. He followed me around a bit and I think I screamed something like "I need an ADULT" in gen chat. I'm 26.

I'm a guy my main are orc female warrior I simply made this because there aren't much orc females arround and I wanted some diffrent. My alt paladin is human male (only 79) Belf mage is female just because male looks gay. My lock and rogue are undead males.

It's an RPG has nothing to do with what you really are irl. I choose gender after looks and what fits best to the class.

All my characters are male, it just feels wrong to play a fe-male since I'm a male...

my wife rolls a female undead and i prefer the male version, she's been playing for about 4 years and i started about 2 years ago when i met her on myspace... yess myspace.... (she liked my picture)... hehe

im a guy and about 80% of the time i roll a female toon. idk what it is but there is something about a female protagonist that i find much more interesting and enjoyable than i do in a male protagonist... i also don't want to stare at a guys ass for like 4 hours at a time. it may not be real ass but its still man ass :P

Wow this is something I've been wondering a lot about lately to be honest. I consider guildies friends (of a sort) and yeah, I use emotes as just part of interacting and laughing with people. I'm NOT hitting on anyone in game.

I am ALWAYS surprised to find out that someone I thought I kinda knew was actually a dude "wearing" a F. Nelf. I'm a woman and so it was just natural for me to roll a female. Gender is part of how we interact with people, for good or ill.

I just don't get it but then I choose a female DWARF (yes!) because I like the lore of the race and I don't really care if her chest bounces when she moves. ;-p What's not to love in a gal that can drink you under the table. ;)

So, no offence to guys that roll female toons but if your doing it to look at something pretty, that is just weird (to me). This is an "avatar" after all, an extension of yourself. *shakes head* But then I over-think all of this stuff. :)

i dont think it is that i want to play a female char it is more that night elf males remind me to much of mj in a bad way hehe.

I am a boy IRL, my main is a female draenei shaman. Male draenei are some of the ugliest in the game, so I find it very difficult to roll one.

I have just as many male toons as female, using the 10 characters per server, 10 classes per side, 10 race/gender combinations.

I'm a male.

Im male and i have a few toons, 2 of which are female. I like the comments about ppl not wanting to look at the same gender ass. As i am a healer on my main (resto drood), I spent most of my time looking at avatars in the top right corner of my screen en rest of my time i spent riding/flying of shapeshifted. Regarding other players I see them as their avatars. I am very bad with names, if a female toon tells me he is male IRL. i still concider him female the next day lol.

top left* ofc lol

i only have one female char i made her to break up looking a t a guy most of the time made her look like my wife and now she is set as my bank alt

To be completely honest ima guy who plays girl characters cuz i dont feel like watching some guys ass when i lvl up. as to ur question I do Think that girls can and do go both ways . mostly becuz all of the Female Nelfs on my server are guys. So i usally dont care whos on the other side of that one Nelf whos /flirt-ing with me,

MARTHIDS WAS HERE!!!

I primarily rolled an Undead Warlock for my first main. He was a male. all my small alts before that a been male variations of other class combination.

I tend to play mainly with my guildies now and am leveling up a Female BE Paladin with a friend of mine who is a female paladin and a female in Real Life. We will do all sorts of /emotes while playing but we know its just for fun. My guild mates know im a guy and they dont see anything wrong with leveling a female character.

Female characters tend to be a lot nicer to look at for most of us guys. There's not much desire to play some macho dude as that would just queue an inferiority complex.

I've actually known a girl to roll a male blood elf paladin purely because she thinks that the females would crumble and get squished under all the plate armor she wears xD

But yeah, my paladin started off as a male blood elf before having paid to get a gender switch.

Now my friends call me the Tranadin because of that D:

I'm a guy IRL, and apart from my very first toon (tauren warrior) every char ive rolled since then (and i have quite a few - altaholic) has been fem. Undead 'lock, BE pally, human priest, Draenie shaman, NE drood, even a dwarf DK (love her to bits, but really scary laugh!)

Why do i play females? Don't know the answer, i just prefer to, and not as some say because they prefer to be looking at a nice ass, i just have an 'affinity' with female toons, go figure!

I dont lie about my gender and if someone asks i tell them, but all my guildies know my gender ofc.

i roll my race and gender most often according to class and racial abillitys(prolly bad spelling) and ofc how the gear will look on them^^ like if im a N-elf warrior i roll male, if i am a B-elf Priest i roll female :D

Male here and I'm assuming that most female toons are men there are multiple female toons in my guild (which has over 500 people in it not including the alts) only one of them is actually a woman in real life.
