I have to say that I honestly haven't encountered guys that pestered me because I'm a girl in the few MMOs I've played. My mannerisms/way of chatting are girly enough that most of the time they guess my gender before I tell them. When they do find out for certain that I'm a girl I've never been teased or harassed. Sure sometimes my friends would joke around, but they were really good friends, I was the only active girl in the guild, and I knew they didn't mean any offense. I know the whole "girl gamer" thing is a problem though but despite it I've never experienced it first-hand, or if I have, it was such a forgettable incident.

Does Runescape predate Halo? [Srsly dunno] I used to play that. I tried mroe recently and was seriously still turned off by ut. Improved graphics and such, but still boring beyond belief.

Hello ladies and hello gentlemen as well. I'm too old to be a girl gamer, but I am a female gamer and very excited to be playing with you all! I played RO long ago, my main focus was also headgear collecting. I played with my husband and I'll try to get him to play RO2 as well if he can find the time. I play mostly support roles...because that is what I like. I also enjoy damage roles but I stay away from tanking, it's just safer for all of us that way. Anyway, looking forward to meeting some fun people in game. See you all May 1st!

I know how you feel. I loved Runescape, tho I only played from 2002-2005. Those were the days.

One time my little sister decided to join me, and made a char to lvl 20. A lvl 40 tried talking her into going into the wilderness with him. I was in the other room, and I told her "go ahead" and followed secretly with my lvl 55. >:3 He initiated a fight of course, and I ganked him. XD We split his loot. Best Runescape moment. <3

Best story right here.

Hi there...I, too, am a bit old to be called a girl gamer; especially since my teenage sons also play iRO, and will play RO2, along with my husband. My husband and I have been online gaming since 2001, beta-testing and playing many different games throughout the years. We are so looking forward to this game. The younger son even got my mom to register...she didn't participate in beta; but he'll get her set up for the game this weekend (he hopes). So, yeah....I'll be 43 soon, Nana is 64....two more females in the RO2 population here.

[SaphiraRaworth]

Sorry, having a fangirl moment right now.

Too much Blood Elf screentime, not enough Tauren screentime. I'm okay with the Troll's screentime.

Female Tauren Warrior. Rocking my Bulwark.

No orc or foresaken. How sad. I only met one female orc in my entire history of WoW, and she was my guild leader for a time. Warrior like me. She was hot. It's totally not creepy for me to say that because we were both lesbians? Okay wait I guess it's still creepy.

As a fellow lesbian I'm gonna say no because being a woman is weird anyway because half the time when I chat with other ladies I don't know whether I want to be them or be on them I think it's normal as long as you're not being rude about it.

Warriors are cool, the main tank in my guild was a lady warrior for awhile, troll though. I play a hunter and s.priest mostly these days, although I've got a ret paladin and fire mage.
Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm attracted to someone or just need to pee.

Consider yourself lucky. I've had several guys hit on me and harass me over the years because I'm a girl. And it's not like I flaunt it around in game or use it to try to get free things. For example, this past Thurs in GW2 this guy whispered me and was being very creepy, asking me if I would date him or w/e. Despite me telling him about my bf I so dearly love, he wouldn't quit. Then I found out that he was the same guildie who had been harassing me previously and got kicked out of the guild because of it. He kept saying how beautiful my voice was and how he couldn't get it out of his head. I ended up blocking him again, but I'm sure he'll find some other way to talk to me again. ;

Good job using the ignore button. <3

I would've hit the ignore button the instant he said one more word after I told him I was dating someone else. And I probably would've used a lot of language which WarpPortal's word filter doesn't appreciate me using. But you still did good. When in doubt I solve problems the old fashioned way. IE:

Yeah I probably would have done it sooner, but he clearly knew me so I was talking in mumble with my guild, trying to figure out who he was. Then once I did, he was out.
Oh and then a guildie went on another character and started sending me similar msgs. I was like "who the heck is this guy? His name is xxxxxx and his account name is cutler... WTF GOSH DARNIT CUTLER!"
Of course, not in those words.

Woo, go girls~! I've also found that RO tends to have a lot of us. Fun times~

..the moment I logged into beta, I was spammed with people looking for female players to play with, using skype. Made me laugh quite a bit. There will always be those stereotypic guys around, thinking girls are magical unicorns of the internet. Luckily, they are quite the minority.. they just tend to be vocal enough to leave a lasting impression.
