Minoture Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 The only thing that really would be unequal set-up by Jagex is the Recruitment Drive quest, where "No MAN" can beat that one warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't jagex steal that from Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King where the woman warrior killed the head RingWraithe? Photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minoture Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Just a quick idea on gender equality, I think that the percentage of Guys that go around looking for girlfriends is about the same as the percentage of Girls going around looking for boyfriends. The differance is that there are many many more guys than girls, so the chances of a girl being asked out is greater than the chances of a guy being asked out.

tefda Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Its mainly idiots who think they're "playas", most of them end up being scammed by the girl whos really a guy. MMORPG: Many Men Online Role Playing Girls :wink: . The only thing that really would be unequal set-up by Jagex is the Recruitment Drive quest, where "No MAN" can beat that one warrior. Didn't jagex steal that from Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King where the woman warrior killed the head RingWraithe? Jagex didn't steal it, they parodied it. Besides it couldn't be called stealing because that concept probably came from a Legend/Folklore so it would be Public Domain and thus usable by anyone. Basically just about everyone thinks up the same idea but with a slight twist at one point or another and generally the twist is enough to make it original and cannot be considered stolen by the first person who was to think of it.

Hilramorre Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 If I remember right, about three years back a guy did an experiment like this. Except he did it from the beggining of his character. He actually joined runescape as a social project (or however you would word it) to see how women are treated compared to men in the MMORPG realm. He found many people were far nicer to him and of course many were also very mean. He made many online friends through the course of it. At the end of it he was fairly high level and pretty prominent in the community (can't remember name :( ). When he came out with a post for everyone to explain taht he was a guy and his reason for playing a girl (he also changed his character to a guy) some of his friends were hurt by him, turned on him. In my opinion, that is not a very good friend, but I'm in no position to judge. However, what I'm getting at is this. It's about equal. I have plenty of friends who have played as girls on runescape, they said there are many advantages (monetary mostly) to being a girl. Many had cases of people jsut coming up to them and giving them items (including full rune back when it was actually worth something). However the annoyance of immature little boys is of course there. My girlfriend started playing Final Fantasy 11 on her summer break. She's had alot of girls harass her (usually sexually). However, there is one case that is pretty interesting. She met this one guy and became friends with him. He basically followed her around everywhere healing her. Didn't take her too long to figure out he had a bit of a crush on her (he didn't know she has a boyfriend). He tryed to make a move on her once or twice and she struck him down every time. She did however come to be good friends with him over a short period of time. However recently he has totally ignored her. She believes he's pretty much abandoned her. I think this was probably in large part due to the fact that he probably wanted some online girlfriend and when he finally figured out that she wouldn't be his, he turned his back on her. This hurt my girl, she has a problem with attachment. She gets attached to people pretty easily so to have a good friend betray her really hurt. I hate that about immature guys that they tend to only think about themselves and don't think about other's feelings (remember, I said IMMATURE guys). I'm interested in your experiment though. It'll be interesting to see how it goes. However, if I might make a few suggestions which I think would help it out immensly. 1) Spelling and grammar. I'm not going to go all nazi on you over it, however, trying to spell your owrds out correctly and using correct grammar really makes it much more enjoyable to read. 2) Edit the first post to add in the daily updates instead of making a new post on the thread. It's much easier that way and anyone can easily just check the first post for a new update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minoture Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Immature 11 year old and stupid sex-crazed teenagers that get turned on by pixels (sad, very very sad) In short, people who don't use common sence and think only of them selves and not how this may affect the girl.
