Tuco has been hearing voices for weeks.I was honestly very surprised that we survived a second migration, especially since the FoH viruses were supposedly fixed. I'm still pretty shocked.
Yeah, I had a few female characters but none of them made it out of the newbie zone. Having people think that I was a female just felt very creepy and dishonest to me. I always played in first person anyway, so I didn't care what my character's ass looked like.My first EQ character was a female half-elf. After a few days of being called honey, sweetie, etc I rolled a male gnome.
I think it's a bit early to declare victory. This site is very nice, but I'm not going to feel like everything is good until we find out what the bill is going to be and find a way to pay it. Donations are usually pretty easy to get at the beginning, but usually like less than 5% of users actually donate and the same people get tired of sending in money month after month. I know on the Steel Warrior we only needed like $150 a month but it seemed like it kept getting paid mostly by the same 10-20 people. If a way can be found to pay for the site with ads I think that would be the way to go.I was honestly very surprised that we survived a second migration, especially since the FoH viruses were supposedly fixed. I'm still pretty shocked.
Lol some seriously weak ass excuses for playing female characters. Ohh I hate looking at a guys ass! Ohh I hate the voice! Bitch are you retarded? EQ had neither of those things.Yeah, I had a few female characters but none of them made it out of the newbie zone. Having people think that I was a female just felt very creepy and dishonest to me. I always played in first person anyway, so I didn't care what my character's ass looked like.
Or at least until the Mayan Apocalypse. If it ends up being a mangina induced meltdown of global proportions, who better to ride the mushroom cloud with than this lot?At least stay for the holidays to see how it turns out.
Fixed.. when i did group it was with my guild who all knew i was Astrocreep.
Really? My BE Warlock in WoW was a female and I pretty much only played with people who know me in real life. I'm not some fat neckbeard, so I'm not really looking for attention from people on the internet. I just thought the character model looked cool. Sometimes, it's not really a deep, psychological reason.I was born a male, but then I realized how easy it was for even ugly chicks to get laid, so I started dressing up as and pretending to be a woman.
When I hear excuses for playing a mangina, this is basically what I'm hearing. You can claim it's only for your video game, but I don't see how the underlying thought process is really that much different.

'If you build it they will come.'
His wife is pretty pissed that hefired up his forge and opened an auto repair garage.
Every last one of us was bummed for an hour to a day. A guy on FoH posted right afterwards, "It's like I broke up with my bitch girlfriend but then lost my job and have to ask her for money. Feels bad, man". I lol'd at that, and yeah... that's apt.You guys are right, just needed a bit of time to cool off I guess. This whole episode just showed how much this community means to me by how upset I got by people trying to destroy it.
So thanks for the kind words guys, and thanks (again) to Tuco and to Draegan for giving us a new, new home.![]()
Haha! Good point.Or at least until the Mayan Apocalypse. If it ends up being a mangina induced meltdown of global proportions, who better to ride the mushroom cloud with than this lot?
