Glad you liked it, Vexxie.

For those ladies who did not get a chance to participate in the survey, I invite your comments and answers to the questions as we go along. It will certainly add to the results of the article and provide a more in-depth picture of what makes girl gamers tick.

Nice article Raya! The mmo games that I have played have been Everquest, Daoc, EQ2, and Lineage2. Of those four the one that I stayed with the longest and had by far the most fun with was the original everquest.

Can't wait to see what the answers to the next question are.

Excellent article Raya. I'm really looking forward to the next installment. It did surprise me that Everquest was so popular, compared to the rest.

I found it interesting that City of Heroes was #2 behind EQ...

hmmm maybe the correlation between gamer grrls and comic book fans is closer than expected

As I noted in the article (and in the auxiliary information), although the number of EQ aficionados is impressive, it was to be expected because of the sources from which I solicited female participation (nearly all of them had an EQ connection). In addition, it is important to remember that this survey was conducted before either WoW or EQII went live.

Actually I hadn't noticed that CoH was second, since there was such a huge space between the number who had played EQ and any other game. I remember when CoH came out, though, and people were already getting very tired of Sony's EQ. At the time, CoH was the first real alternative in a long time.

However, note that no one chose CoH as her most significant MMOG.

Ieranii, it's interesting that, out of the giants you have played, you still choose EQ as your most important MMO.

Zhao and Nep, glad you like the article. The rest of the series will be just as interesting. It is fun for me to collate the results and see what girl gamers really think

Very nice article. I am looking forward to the next installment since I am one of those women who got into gaming because of her husband. I have been blogging about my experience as a woman (I refuse to call myself a girl.) gamer for awhile now.

Oh and my regular games have been/are SWG, WoW, CoH. I am considering checking out Guildwars. I play a few others when my hubby and I get together at LANs with our local gaming friends/family.
