Female players now make up about 40% of the MMO population
How convenient. Just yesterday, I was railing against stereotypes of virtual world inhabitants. Today, out pops a survey stating that those stereotypes couldn’t be further off the mark. Players of EverQuest II were recruited in game and asked to fill out a web-based questionnaire.
The findings? Most of the “hardcore” players are female, gamers are healthier than average, and game-playing is becoming a more social activity. Some other interesting results came out – the rate of bisexuality among female players is five times the national average, and whereas male players’ goal was often to “win” and complete things, female gamers were more interested in the social aspects of the hobby.
Just as computing, and console gaming are now seen as gender-neutral activities, so will MMOs and virtual worlds be in the coming years. In the meantime, don’t necessarily expect that massive orc warrior in your dungeon to be a bloke.

Massively superior to its past OLED test developments, this latest model features a stunning contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 – and manages to pull off the full HD spec 1920×1080 resolution, or 1080p to give it its common name. It’s pretty much a finished OLED telly, although Samsung has not revealed any launch date plans…
Panasonic rumoured to be producing a 40" OLED TV. Expect the Joneses across the street to retaliate soon.
If you had £467million, what would you do with it? Travel? See the world? Buy yourself a small country? Maybe even give some of it to poor people?
Panasonic, as it happens, does actually have that sort of money, but has opted to stay in instead, and spend the money on a bigger telly…
Shiny Video Review: the £40 Disgo camcorder
We wrote about this camcorder from Disgo a few weeks back, which went on sale recently at Dixons, Curry’s and PC World for £40. Yes, £40. Check…
£40? For a camcorder? What, are Disgo nuts?!
Hang on, hang on. A video camera for less than £40? And it hasn’t fallen off the back of a truck? How on earth!?
It’s true, and you’ll be able to pick one up this weekend on the high street. Aimed, as most products are these days, at the YouTube generation, it’s a pocket-sized digital video camcorder which weighs no more than a mobile phone. Powered by two AA batteries, it’s simple to use, with only three buttons for one-touch recording…
