Girls are more Hardcore than Guys

[Reoh]

At least, thats what a recent study has shown. Massively did a little article on the findings. Essentially, the top 10% of girls play more than the top 10% of guys, although they "under list" themselves by a larger degree too.

hhhmmm interesting.

I noticed the majority are around the 35yo range, non students and unemployed. Would be interesting to see how many of them play with their children. Women are also more social than men so it could be the girls 'getting together'.

When I'm not playing my main mmo, I play together with my daughter. We play the first MMO that we both know very well since I played it for years. She is too young to play hardcore though, but she 's happy to share this with me and I have no need to play this hardcore anymore.
I know a few female guildleaders who are very hardcore indeed, and some others who play more casual... I 'd say there 's not that much difference between male and female players when it comes to being hardcore or not.
I am sure though it's not just the girls "getting together", the female hardcore players I knew were all in the top 5% of the servers listings (a lot of f2p mmo's have listings by lvl and pvp score).
Having spend five years in a hardcore guild myself I can see only one difference between female and male players, and that is the lack of communication between men. These guys spend 12 hours a day on teamspeak, but when there was a problem they never talked about it unless I was there to start the discussion.
I was often worried about my guild mates too, when they skipped meals or hardly got any sleep. I guess that was a female thing aswell.

earlier I was playing a mmo I had a good friend (a girl) she was hardcore top to bottom!
she speaks very nice with me and friends but when it comes to others she is evil. PK every one comes in her way. she was in the top 10 PK list.
