I get those tech support issues too. I teach online, so am always trouble-shooting for students, and then teaching faculty who like to open attachments in emails. *shiver* But I don't have to do software issues all day--know that gets draining. A.E.T.H.E.R. folk will be good to hang out with and let you blow off frustration. Wonder if they are going to be doing events? What kind? Mia

Is so true. Saw you in RL thread. Spooky resemblence.

I have no words for that Were-platypus.... SCARY. There that was one.

WIN :cheer:

Werelampreys....I be getting visions, and they ain't pretty. Werefish? Wait those would be mermaid/men things. Been done. Werefly? Ditto--see bad B movie that I love anyway. Werehorse! Wait, um centaur. Dang. I fail at new weres. Oh, and I refuse for my Miqo'te to have fleas. Nada. Or like catnip. Or milk. And nobody better grab my tail...unless inivted.

*smacks Soren gently* My WoW hunter had a worgen as a pet until they fixed the glitch--he was hot. I quit playing after they took him away from me. But yep, agree, would like to see some other beast/humanoid choices at some point. JUST NOT SPARKLY BAT PEOPLE. :mrgreen:

Yeah, Mia I see as much more panther/predatory, NOT cutesy catgirl AT ALL. I think of feline as proud. Then again, want her to be curious and a bit jumpy/hyper. AND now I see that open beta has been postponed. :cry:

You know, come to think of it, I have some very different cats at home. One is a goof-ball who has never met a stranger. Another disdains all contact except on HIS terms. Another can't climb anything. Another, well you get the idea. And let's not even talk about the six babies I rescued last night who wanted to sit on my feet and sleep. (And they call that many felines a "litter" for good reason So maybe there is hope for some individuality. I promise to not purr in public unless absolutely necessary. But yeah, the cat emote thing could get pretty disturbing after a bit since there are so many of us. M.

Have to jump in on the /purr emote. Sorry, but I read the Miqo'te as very cat-like, and to me, I plan on using that feline-ness as an major part of Mia's psychology and um physiology. I play a cat? I get to purr deep down in my chest. I may only do a meow in private situations, but I am a cat lover, so yep, will be using feline attributes both in character development and interactions. Pounce. Sleep curled in my tail at times, be all haughty and then all attack mode. Curious. All of it in some ways, without I hope making her seem like a cat-cartoon. Did that make sense? Mia

Haha, they tend to bring me things like fossils, rocks, minerals, family stories, pictures, a kitten once, and best of all, a three-foot tall animated, singing Frankenstein in honor of our reading/studying Mary Shelley one rainy October :study:

Same problem! I just can't seem to get around only have ONE character. But Miqo'te...yes. That is it for me. But yeah, I can't wait to see the animations and Lala with a big bow? Awesomeness. Let us know what you choose :cat: (I edited my original posting with a RL pic, to ask? Do you look at all like your character?) Mia

Hey KittyWizard, Loved your answer! And was much what I went with too--I mean come on a TAIL! I love the way the Miqo'te look. And will go check out the RL pic thread too. Mia

And here is another reason that has little to do with questions of vampires or um glands of any type that I plan to play a Miqo'te. I just rescued the kittens below. Some idiot threw away a momma and six TINY kittens, all with blue eyes like their Siamese momma this afternoon on a road near my house. I hate people sometimes. My best friend is trying to hold them on her lap for the picture. Sorry for the quality: iphone near dark = not great pic. Power to the Felines. Death to Sparkly Vampires of the world.

I IS a female! And I think we are not that rare in mmo's. I listened to a great ffxiv podcast today talking about rolling cross-gender. I liked what one of the female co-hosts said: that if you see a female in a game being all girly and asking for help, gear etc. = that is a guy. Not sure I agree. I think being a jerk is not gender specific. It happens both ways. I don't care if a guy rolls a girl or a transvestite or a three-sexed alien: as long as it is lore-appropriate for the game they are playing and they play with some honor and intelligence. As long as we get NO sparkly-skinned vampires.... :frustrated: Mia (a female in game and out and not real sure why anybody would care?)

Hey, Dran! And I will have you know my students bring me much more interesting things than apples :study:
