Game girl advance examines an intriguing statement made in a Gamespot interview. Sheri Graner Ray, of Star Wars
Galaxies, is quoted as saying that the numbers she's seen indicate men are much more likely to play women than women
are to play men in their games. Jane (the writer) seems to be living proof of that statistic.
Personally I always choose a male when I'm creating an RPG character (I'm a male, by the way). I find it distracting
to play a woman for some reason. I think it's less immersive. I mean, how can I be that woman on the screen, when I'm a
guy? Simplistic, probably, but true. When it comes to MMOGs I won't even entertain the idea of playing a female hero.
It's far too likely that I'll get hit on. BrrRRRrrr.
