ddpepsi Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I'm playing ESO I always roll play as a women in games. I'm being pursued in game by a guy wanting to get with one of my character he thinks a girl is playing the game do i tell him i'm a guy and end it, or say nothing and let it continue. I do like being pursued and enjoy his advances so do tell him and end my enjoyment with him.
Guest endgameaddiction Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I had a chick character when I was into MMO. I got hit on many times. I had many friends who played female characters being a guy and one of them always made me laugh. When guys would text emote to him he would go *pees standing up* and they would get the hint and walk away. If you don't like it, just tell him straight up, but you seem to like it so that's up to you. Just don't be one of those peeps that pretends to be a girl to get game money out of people. That's seriously lame. Then again it's funny. Seen far too too many times.
ButchDiavolo Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Deception is never a good idea. While it may be flattering to you, you have to remember there is another person with feelings behind the avatar.
jfraser Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 It depends. Are you RP'ing? If so, flirt away. If not, probably best to give him a hint. Or not - if he doesn't realize 80% of females in mmo's are guys, why spoil his illusions?

We were enjoying playing together as long as he thought i was a girl. I don't fully understand the change, If you like playing with each other in a game what difference dose it really make who you are, your playing a Characters in a game while your playing you are that person. I guess real life hangups screw with your fun. Can't people just enjoy playing with each other regardless of who or what they are. I don't get it.
Pkatt Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I think it boils down to how people game. Two different types of people. Some see MMO's as a way to roleplay, and I suppose I am in that group. I enjoy making a character, coming up with a backstory, and then while in game, I play as that character, and thats where my fun comes from, the roleplaying and exploration, not the leveling. I just generally assume that people know I'm not the character in game, regardless of the gender. In EQ2, I had a female druid, and a male lizardman, both of which I loved to roleplay while in game, as that character. If I have to break character, EVEN in a tell, or PM, then to me, that breaks the immersion, and ruins MY game experience, if that makes sense. So I play the way I want, I always pick the roleplay server if the game has one, and hope others understand, and honestly, really don't care if they don't. To me, its a roleplaying game, and thats the way I play. Now there are others out there though, that treat it as purely a social game. Its almost like its a complicated social media, or dating site. I have friends that play this way, and I know several that will ALWAYS without fail, make their character as close to themselves as they can, and they assume others are doing the same thing. There is no roleplay here, what they say or do is exactly what they would say or do in real life. What it boils down to though, is a problem that I think that is very prevalent and causes a lot of problems in our society. Many people simply assume that everyone else thinks, likes the same things, and will act, exactly like they do, and it blows their mind when the other person does not. There! theres my philosophizing for the day!
enkephalin07 Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Some of you guys would be pretty dangerous if you really were women. If you want to continue to party together, you need the trust and honesty between you, and you owe it to the guy to be frank with him. And if you still really dig the attention, let him pimp you around to guys who you don't know or care about, and exploit them for goodies. Seriously, anyone who can't separate the player character from the player needs either a harsh wake-up call or to be exploited for everything they've got. Never assume anything about the people you play with, not even something as basic as their gender. If they don't volunteer the information, then assume the detail is not your fucking business, and get on with your game.
