But an interesting read, also the reasoning as to why they genderbend.

well - everquest you have less armour it seems...
maybe the number is higher but most women dont want the hassle when playing a game..

Yes, that's also something when reading articles like that, that women ingame get harassed like that. Even guys on female characters can confirm it and are generally appaled. Pretty damn depressing when you think about it.

I used to get spammed all the time with cyber sex while playing daoc, I later found out it was me on my bot sending them

The only thing I think about in that moment is: How sad can ones life be if he has to act like that or is he 10 to 20 years younger than he pretends to be and hasn't done it once yet.
