My first time I played an MMO, I tried FFXI. Just sort of arbitrarily (not for any of the typical guy reasons of 'oh I wanted to stare at her ass' or anything like that), I chose a female hume. I guess I just liked the look of the character. She seemed like someone I could relate to. But anyways, as is often the case when you start a new MMO by yourself, I spent my first few days in Vana'diel alone, in the desolate barren wasteland outside of Bastok. My only contact with people was the occasional passerby, who I'd wave to. Sometimes they'd wave back, sometimes they'd ignore me. But then on my third day in the game (this was a few days after Christmas), I met a genuinely nice friendly person. She helped me out with all my questions and told me that I was way too high level to be soloing myself, and really I needed to go to the desert and fight in a group. So, I go along with it, and have a wonderful evening of leveling and before I know it, the girl and I are getting along great, and I get an invitation to her linkshell. And she asks me, in front of the whole linkshell, "Oh by the way, I didn't ask you if you were really a girl or not!". And I don't know why I did it really, certainly I haven't really felt the inclination before, but I found myself saying, "Yes I am, my name's Sarah, nice to meet you all." Maybe I was afraid that my new friend would think less of me, or the people in the linkshell would have thought I was weird... I dunno.
