Do women have their cyberspace in online role-playing games?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 15, 2009 -- If you want to find an evidence of women’s right or the equity between men and women, some trivia about games would be a very interesting resource. No joking at all!

Along with the fast boom in economy, women’s life has been changing a lot. A woman is no longer known as a housewife, who is unemployed and spends the whole life to “serve” her husband and children. Especially in China, which is partly known by its strong feudal system and where male chauvinism more or less still exits, one third of game players are women.

According to the General Administration of Press and Publication of China, Game industry revenue of 2005 hit 3.77 billion yuan, up 53 percent compared with the statistic in 2004. Of course, the number is not made up by men only. Female-game-player market is really potential, estimated at 4 billion yuan ($500 million) and this is the reason why there are more and more games designed for women. Game firms also promptly jump into this lucrative area.

Most women love to play casual and puzzle games while men’s favorite categories are online and role playing games. Lovely images, romantic backgrounds, animals, and one round in a short time are the main features of games for women. Daily activities related to a woman’s life is also a popular topic for many game firms to develop. Pretty Woman is a good example for such games. In the game, players can make their virtual female characters more beautiful and attractive by choosing various make-up tools: eyeliner, eye-shadow, lipstick and gloss, etc. Those seem very simple but actually appeal to many women.

But women do play online games as well.

Unlike the “common principles” of online games for men which usually easily go to sex and violence, favorite online games for women are very “feminine.” Many white-collar women play chess and some other games with friends on MSN, Yahoo, etc. in spare time or in the break between morning and afternoon shifts. However, that is not all for the whole picture. World of Warcraft, MU, or Counter Strike also have a great number of female users.

Liu Bing, one of few female players who has progressed to the highest level, 60, in World of Warcraft said “I have been playing World of War Craft for one year and a half. Playing games has become my strong desire that pushes me in front of the computer screen every time I am free.”
