“I am a student attending the University of Texas at El Paso, majoring in Sociology and Gender Studies.I am preparing a short project for a Gender Studies course that looks at representations of gender in popular culture. I am working along with two other students in presenting a topic on what place video games have in the discourse of gender. My contribution is specifically looking at gender dynamics in MMORPG type games, specifically World of Warcraft. As a previous player I have noticed, just by simple observation, some interesting phenomena in regards to gender and avatar selection, and the sociology of interaction in WoW. There is also some very interesting research being done on the efficacy of virtual socialization, including gender, in MMORPGs. Considering this, this short survey is for me to gather data to supplement this previous research. The survey is designed to be completely anonymous, so I would be grateful for any responses. If you have any questions at all, including questions about the survey and its intended use, please contact me via this forum. Thanks! They’re all Sociology classes, obviously b/c WOW represents such a rich interactive social environment. Because your link is broken (likely b/c you never enabled the survey start in SurveyMonkey, or something to that effect), I will summarize the role of gender and avatars in WOW, or any other online interaction. All Female avatars are really males. This is true until proven otherwise by pictures and *possibly* voice (but this is not 100% reliable). The reasons for males making female avatars are many, but it’s really 1) b/c they can, and 2) as a guy, I’d rather not listen to a male avatar grunt etc. as I kill things or watch a digital male posterior all day long. wow lvl (In short, males liek da b00biez).

All male avatars are males too. Same rules apply. level wow Oh, and women don’t play MMOs, duh. Except my wife…and some other people’s wives…who have female avatars - but you should still assume they are male to be safe. Sometimes, you’ll get someone (like my GM), that sounds sorta like a girl (or maybe a guy), won’t post a pic, has a female avatar, but supposedly has slept with someone else in the guild. cheap world of warcraft gold In cases of extreme ambiguity, the person is still a guy, even if his gender idenity is female. Choice of gender in a game doesn’t necessarily have any effect on someone’s gender identify…I have 5 female toons, 5 male toons, b/c it is a fantasy game and I can. (Also, certain classes just look better as a certain gender, or the classes themselves have underlying gender associations…ho ho! an insight!). wow gold ” “I`m a big fan of Final Fantasy, and have been playing the Final Fantasy 11 mmorpg for the better part of 4 years now. I decided to take a break from it for a bit and give WoW a try. I skimmed through the wiki site but it just made me more confused. wow gold I have no experience when it comes to WoW lore and know nothing about the game or the warcraft universe. I want to apologize in advance for some of the noob questions I`m about to ask. From what I read, certain races can only play certain job classes; so does 1 race play a job better than another race which can play the same job. Are races appearance only or do they each hold different stats in health, magic, etc. Warrior and Paladins are both tanks and damage dealers right.RELATED LINKS:
