There should be more classes to both the Castanic race gender

allofspaceandtime

just play the class and have her identify herself as a male.......but seriously, playing as the opposite [filtered] does not make you start liking the same [filtered]. bhs genderlocks classes probably because its cheaper and less time consuming, therefore putting out more content in a timely fashion. and also taking it away lol.

most players play female characters. it's just the way it is. do you cater to 90% of your audience playing Females, or cater to the 10% playing males?

everyone knows the answer to that question already. Female locked classes happen becuese it makes zero sense to have a male option, and have to do twice the animations.

you mean for TERA specific? becuase in all the other mmos the majority is males, take WoW for example around 60% of the total playerbase is human and blood elf males, im not sure what players TERA attracts because the way you describe it and the direction that it takes sounds either that it has mostly girl gamers, 50 years old neckbeards that feel alone and transexual guys that want to be girls online

it is korean mmorpg

wow is not a korean mmorpg, but a chinese robot mmorpg

These sorts of stereotypes are so silly. You could just as easily say that the only people who complain about this issue are insecure manchildren who can't relate to women and don't feel secure in their manhood unless their virtual avatar is implied to have male genitals. Or, conversely, that a True Man won't let a few pixels stand in their way of getting an edge, defeating their enemies, and triumphing in the game. As you can see, it's just asinine to stereotype people and it leads nowhere. It certainly is not an argument that is going to convince any decision-makers more than money does.

The most sensible course of action is a) keep making your voice heard about your preferences constructively (since few disagree that having more options is better than not), and b) to get over the need to imagine your virtual avatar as an extension of your own personhood, since it's not. Preferences are fine, but if you can imagine yourself as an a giant rock dude, a devil, a high elf, or an animal creature, women aren't so different.

So you wouldn't play Tomb Raider either then? Or Resident evil or resident evil 2 god forbid silent hill 3, or parasite eve let alone any other game with a female lead. I love how so many people [filtered] and moan about a game, as if the US server can do anything about it. You want to [filtered] and moan then take it to K-tera because they are the one's who create the new class that all the other server's will be created later on. Boo-hoo.

The difference is that character is already set in stone. Lara is a well-established character and icon within gaming. In TERA, and many other decent mmorpgs, you play as your own character. You as your character are making your own choices. It's not about the female lead, its about giving the player a choice. Games with a character already set forth can get away with that because they are not mmorpgs. People play mmorpgs for the same reason those nerds down the block play DnD; because it provides that freedom. If I wanted to play as a sexy woman, I'd be playing Bayonetta. Therefore, your argument is null.

Arguement still Valid because Again this is not K-tera if you want to [filtered] and moan go there and whine. Also there are plenty of mmo's that are gender locked. As the npc's of the game say " If you don't like it, leave. "

People still complain about this stuff?

VirtualON

I don't play wow so i don't know your 60% number but if i have to guess it is because female characters in most western MMO are basically gorillas, so ugly to look at so no reason to pick female over mae characters.

Also those players, who play male characters, do not buy costumes so they can just suck it up. It is totally their fault but they always blame the developers.

dunno if hard trolling or extreme consumerism problems.
Either way: do you want male classes?? Get a mob of people to raid the servers with TONS of hunky machos and spend tons of EMP on these machos. You'll see your answer then.
Let's see how many people will follow you and you guys will have your answer to the question of male characters.

TL;DR: Make males and give 'em enough money for these males. They'll invest on males. Business, no profit? No go.
