Males playing as females??

[Calindor]

That kind of stuff sucks, it's never really happened to me. My current clan/alliance is 1 of 2 alliances on the server to have a certain necklace (valakas), we only have one, and its pretty much priceless. We hand it out to pretty much anyone in the 3 clans who need it for olympiad. We hand out S grade sets and boss jewels when there are only handfulls of them on the server and not once has anyone tried to take it for themselves.

I have trusted my account info out to a dozen or so people in my clan/alliance and trust them all, we're kinda like a family i guess, 90% of us wouldnt be playing the game anymore if we werent in the clan we are.

BTW if any of you groups of friends are looking for an elyos guild apply for tempest its always better to have groups of friends among guilds.

Yer i know the neclace. But yer same here, ive given my account info to a heap of my clannies and even after i left we still talk on msn. There waiting for me to choose an mmo for us to play lol. We used to play on kain. But yer about the clan, ill actually do that now, good to get to know new peeps.

Not mentioning anyone here in particular, but just in general, I think especially in a game like Aion, a lot of the smaller guilds will drop off within the first several months. When you have a game like this, with a limited number of castles/strongholds/territories where keeping and holding one is a heavy burden and struggle, it's just better to have fewer guilds.

Fewer guilds mean bigger numbers, which means more successful defending of your own homeland and more powerful sieging of enemy territories.

But, also, what I saw a lot in Shadowbane (The PvP intensive game I used to play with guild v guild siege based warfare) was that a guild puts in a huge amount of effort into working up defenses for their stronghold. Spend massive amounts of money on guards, fortifications, economy, ect, but then it gets sieged and destroyed, and everyone gives up their will to continue their guild. This sort of thing happened all the time to the guilds we conquered in our old game.


Honestly, the best thing for people in general to do is find a guild that works for them. Policies that suit you, rules that fit your needs, leaders who are well suited to handle the task of running a long term guild, ect, and stick to it. If there's absolutely no guilds that fit your needs, then start one. But too many guilds makes for several potential failures early on.

Actually, I'm a female and I prefer playing a cute little dude for a couple reasons.

1) People won't instantly assume you're just out to get gear and help from everyone around.

2) You don't get treated differently than the boys. People will trash talk you all the same. lol.

3) If there are going to be long hours of grinding, I'd rather look at a cute little toon.

I will admit that my two box was a female though... But that was only because it was my brother's account. So he was an in game tranny, too. lol.

lol i cant believe this went on for 33 pages, and i dont play female characters in MMO's just feels weird if u dont play as ur own sex in my opinion.

As long as there are males and females anyway.

I play females because i don't want to stare at a guy's *** for hours on end.
Second reason is, males in RPG are always so "manly" that they become gay in my eyes. Village People gay.
Look at male NE/BE, and male human in WoW for an example off the top of my head. Gears of War also suffers from this. (not an rpg though) Aion males also suffer from this, they got it bad, but they are leaning more towards Tokyo Hotel levels, which is more of a tranny/trap type situation. Either way, RPG males suck, females for ever!


PS: poll needs less bias kthnkbye.

There is a reason Gears of wars suffers from Manly syndrome I figure if you fought in the futuristic world against inhuman species that has a hive underneath the earth and was threatening mankind you would appear steroid buffed from the training or actual steroids.

The Male BE in WoW doesn't suffer from this though their super slim and the females are plain stick figures, though on the other hand NE do suffer from this Manly syndrome, but since there in a war with about four-five other races and their Tree of Life was destroyed and all the mutations I figure they have a good reason for being buffed.

Aion Males do not suffer or even come close to suffering in my opinion unless you count asmodians, but even then there not that buffed.

A few things:

1. Don't support this thread. As you can see, it's lasted way too long.
2. Don't use the word gay in any derogatory manner, because you don't know whom you might offend.
3. Males looking so manly that they end up being too manly is just your opinion.
4. Aion suffers from nothing of the sort. Another strange opinion.
5. Equal Sexes forever!
6. Welcome to the source.

It's the internet, lighten up.
