Reading these post sure brought back memories of how hard it was to play this game as a female. Since I'm playing at a higher level its not as bad as it use to be. But the sexual harrassment against females in kingdoms is a serious matter. When I first started this game and didnt know many people, everywhere I went, to a store, the dungeon, there would always be a guy jumping me from the back asking me "If it feels good" or "Yea Sl==t take it all in" while all his friends stood around laughing. Stupid stuff and yes I ignored it for awhile. Even when they'd corner me for a "**** gang bang" then I'd get cornered into a monster, die and lose experience, stats and items (those days u lost stats) after awhile I started fighting back and even swear back (and i rarely swear IRL) I almost quit, but i figured I paid to play like everyone else and I wasn't going to be bullied out. Every once in a while you run into people who steal from you, try to steal from you.... then call u sl..t..hoe...bi...ch. Then go on a Pking rampage.. because they can. And it does get frustrating. Ignoring it doesnt help, fighting back doesnt help.

What helps is when everyone who is tired of this kind of behavior sticks together and holds rude players accountable for their behavior. Stefan and Unixmad can't ban them all, bottom line is they can just come in on another account under a different user name and start the harrassment all over again. I say that players need to stand up and defend eachother against these kinds of players... then maybe they'll stop. A scammer cant scam if NO ONE will trade with him/her. A rude player isnt heard if EVERYONE doesnt listen. Sexual harrasment by a player isnt funny if NO ONE laughs.
