Female Character Clothing..

Why do so many games give female characters such...revealing clothing??
Do they think more skin on female suits makes the suit more popular, better looking?..

I don't know if it's the same in your game, but alot of the time I get into a new MMO...
It seems to me, that there is a fashion going on..

I don't understand there line of thinking,
Most of my friends have 'suffered' having to wear revealing clothes in games,
which to them seem embarrassing.
I know a couple of my female friends change suits in town,
just so there not having to wear it,
as they feel 'icky' in them...
Which is understanding with some of the suits given to them.

So..what I am asking here, is, do you, or a friend you know,
dislike the amount of unnecessary skin shown on a suit you/they wear?
What do you think of this 'fashion'...?

Why do developers believe that female characters should wear little 'skimpy'
outfits?...
It's almost sexist.
Males get great looking suits with fancy looking bits and pieces,
where as females get a few pieces of cloth thrown over them?

Example 1~~~~~~~~~~~

Male character suit.
Look pretty cool.

NPC's..
In so many MMORPG's..they are completely generic,
In flyff.. (sorry, but flyff is the best example at the moment)
as an example.. there are clones in here, everywhere..
Twins, Triplets..

      
[Stroking my beard all day keeps me entertained]                  [Really? Me also brother #8]




Where are the personalities??..
I want to be able to go on a quest for the weapons dealer,
because I care..
Take a love letter quest, delivering a letter to >insert name here<,
because He/She is to shy to talk to She/He, and actually
care about there relationship, and what happens.
And for my quest, to actually make a difference..
Come back and to the quest starter, and here how they are
getting on now (hopefully the quest works out well, lol)...
Not just click "next" 4 times and run across to this other
NPC to receive the exp/reward.

This may just be me? I won't know till you reply ;)
But, I don't want 3 equip dealers that all look the same,
'oh but there twins'..
Does the 2 of them in that other city make them quadruplets?
At least have some visible difference..
Brothers are

Today, I found an article, called "Good new MMORPG -Magic World Online".
So, of course..I went to find out why this person believed it was good.
AND....AAND...
In this article I found...

~I found this in the list of features.
Built in Bot
Tired of staying up all night grinding away at monsters to level up your ever so badass character?  With one keystroke, your character will begin automatically hunting monsters using the games built in Bot, which is filled with many features suchas automatically buying and selling items, returning to a training spot if your character is killed, automatically picking up items, reviving fallen party members, and more.

~~~~
Firstly, those who like this game, I am not bashing it, flaming it, or anything of the sort..
simply I am against a certain feature found in this game, and am
discussing how this would effect the game, and why I dislike it..
And hope that this does not become new MMORPG's being developed 'fix'
for grind.
~~~~
..................
WHY!!!!!!....WHY ON EARTH.... 
A built in bot?
Do they just want to destroy the entire community.
For obvious reasons, just imagine...the bot, it does everything for you?
Who wants to login to a ga

It's not the biggest, in fact it's quite small, and certainly not
the best article, but ^^;, it was a thought that past my mind...
And I felt like writing about it.
So.. . I was just thinking the other day, how much of a difference,
good GUI makes..
(graphic user interface~skill icons, inventory button, etc).
For example, flyff, yes its nothing special, but it works.
A game I tried just recently, shaiya, well.. plainly, it was terrible (my opinion),
and instantly put me off, though I kept playing to see if there was anything else
interesting about the game, but it did put a damper on the mood.

I think easily, the best, or at least one of my favourite
GUI's I've come across,
is ragnarok online II's one..it just looks, cool, lol.
(once again, this is just my opinion, GUI does effect me,
I'm expressing that, and interested to see if I'm not alone ^^?)



It looks great, but it's just a shame they restrict you to only having one
GUI 'window' up at a time, for example.
If you have the inventory up, you can't then get the skills tab up.
Though it does reduce an overcrowded screen, personally I would prefer
having more windows up, and it not feeling overcrowded.


And in World of Warcraft..wow, lol..

Hello :DD

Finally got around to making a blog here ^^..been poking about forever,
And I now have a forum, that I hope to grow, and we talk about MMORPG's and the like..
Also, where developing one ;).
Anyways, I write articles on there to discuss about MMORPG's..
And I really wanted to post them up here ^^..
So, thats what I will be doing, Posting all my opinions, ect.

First though, I will be going through my posts over there and getting them
up here casually (if I put them all up at the same time I will crowd the
'latest blogs', so, I don't want to be rude like that)
for you to see, and hopefully enjoy reading ^^;
