Not just male armor re-skinned. Plus the women can actually be hot and not look like men like so many other MMO's Both of you are right about stats being standard, but what is not standard is the 1000+ female only animation and also all the female only armor.

We even let the women have the same stats as the men! :roll: I actually knew a guy in college who tried to give all female characters a physical stat penalty when we were playing D&D, and claimed that the ability to give birth (which somehow never came up in his campaign) was the balancing factor. Considering half the group was made up of female players, this didn't go over too well... Handshakes is right, this is standard for every MMO; you're not punished for playing a woman per se, but it's clear from the get-go how important it is that you be pretty, whereas for guys it's a non-issue. Frankly "female clothing and armor" reminds me of WoW, where my gnome warrior is wearing a full plate bikini half the time. I'm playing this game because I want to have fun, not because I want to dress up and look pretty for the boys! Yeah man, we’re totally down with feminism!

Not seeing a lot that jumped out at me about this game; it seems like nothing special with a Conan face. Kinda annoys me how there's "pretty women" but not "pretty men". Also no "Enormously Buff, Strong women" or whatever.

Wow. How groundbreaking. Surely, that has never been done be... Oh wait. Every MMO ever, you say? Well damn. So how exactly is this news at all? Seems like just an excuse to post some renderings of bootylicious female characters. Howard must be spinning so fast down there that he is soon to be achieving lift.
