I have never been able to get into any MMO. Just not my scene. I'm too impatient. Not knocking the genre, just not my thing.
And Wyvern, unfortunately girls such as yourself are in the minority. I'm sure the are way more lady gamers than people realise, but they too scared to step out for fear of whatever.
For the record, my wife knew I was a geek and I never hid it in any way. I mean, she knows I've watched the Original Trilogy more times than I can remember and if that doesn't scream geek, then I dunno what does!
