Great news for Poly gamers! Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Gamers: don't die alone!

FANS OF EVERQUEST AND SIMILAR online RPG games, or MMORPGs, no longer have to fear dying alone, slumped pathetically over their PCs while they draw their final breaths. Now there's a site that lets the average online gamer hook up with like-minded sad-cases, MMOdating.

What is the male/female ratio on Poly, anyway? Are we talking percentage or parts-per-million?

Many months ago, Markos counted the number of people who put "female", "f", or some other indication of the fairer gender in their profile at around the 200 mark. 200 out of 60,000.

I can think of four females who post here, at least on Other Games or OT. Heck, there are probably more gays here than women.

You can for sure leave the 'probably' out of that last sentense.

Alternatively, we could group them together.

Surely MMOdating requires a reasonable number of women to play these games. At present most data I've seen shows that few do, though their number is growing.

Not really.... I mean, as far as computer games go, anyways.

MMORPGs probably have one of the largest numbers of female players out of any games.

and mostly because of the social construct of these games. I was surprised to see actual women in the pictures for the everquest convention in Las Vegas.

None were particularly attractive, but a few were hittable.

I wish I'd had known about it, I would have went . Even though I don't play. It's not like I have to travel far.

And I think females that post in chat rooms as females should have to prove their gender. pictures preferribly. But we need a way to prove the pictures are actually them, and not from some random web site.



kidding, kidding. I don't want women here at poly to think I'm an obnoxious bastard. Well that may be true, but I was still kidding.

Yes, but my statement was about levels, not a cross genre proportion comparison.

Typically it refers to the text-based games played over the internet. Just like EverQuest, minus the graphics.
