What do you think the chances are of any more than, at very most, 10% of the users being female at any given time? Kind of creepy.

I'm not all that surprised to see "gaming" going this way.

Just for the record: I usually flip a coin for my CRPG chars, as a char's sex is really irrelevant. The exception being themed chars. Of course, I also don't go out of my way to flirt with all the other players in a mod.

People tend to be nicer if you play a female char than a male char.

But then, I've found life much the same.

I always make female characters unless I'm making a specific character concept that happen to be male.
