Attention girl gamers - you're invited!
Building on the success of our previous Girl Power Hour events, our amazon army will march forth this Sunday on the Heroes' Ascent.
Come explore the world of PvP with us! To unlock this outpost, map to the Great Temple of Balthazar from the boat and talk to the Canthan Ferry Captain on the Isle of the Nameless who will map you to the Random Arenas. From there, you must win 5 matches which will unlock the Team Arenas. Again, you must win 5 matches which will unlock Heroes' Ascent. Please take notice that those areas will be unlocked for all characters on the same account.
It doesn't matter if you haven't try PvP. This event is meant to gather all the female gamers and have fun. :smiley:
We will meet this Sunday, March 11th, in our regular meeting place, the Temple of the Ages, International District 1, at our regular meeting time, 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific, 6:00 PM GMT).
Female players only, please. (Females playing male characters are welcome.) Of course there's no way for us to check, but please respect the women who wish to gather for this event to play with other female gamers.

Where: Temple of the Ages, International District 1
When: Sunday, March 11, 1:00 PM Eastern, 10:00 AM Pacific, 6:00 PM GMT

The guys are whining again and quite frankly, it's stupid. This was all already brought up in the first thread and the mods told everybody to keep it on topic.
But since you're all having such a hissy fit about it, I'll say this. Sometimes girls get very offensive, sexist, and harrassing comments from people in this game when people discover that they're a girl. Girls that play video games obviously have to be fat, ugly, and too stupid to actually have real friends. Right. I play this game to have fun, and if I can't be who I am without being harrassed for it, then I'm not having fun.
My guild is made entirely of guys, except for me. In most of my previous guilds I have been the only girl. I don't really have a problem with that because I like guys just fine and I can hang with them just fine. But sometimes it's nice to be in the company of females too because a lot of times they're more like me in our thoughts, reactions, etc. I don't have many opportunities in this game to meet "like-minded" people, other than just standing in a town somewhere and screaming "HEY GIRLS LET'S BE FRIENDS!!!"
There are guilds out there that are Christian only. There are guilds that are female only. There are guilds that are male only. If you can think of any possible labeled group, you can bet that there is a guild somewhere in the game that excludes them for whatever reason. Is it right? Maybe not. But it's their choice. If a group of guys doesn't not want to include a group of girls because they think girls are annoying and they feel they'd have more fun with just guys, then that's their prerogative and they can do what they please.
If you don't like it, don't come. If you don't agree, get over it. If you feel terribly excluded, make your own group at the exclusion of others. You poor, poor oppressed boys.

Not flaming here but just wanted to add my 2 cents...
I don't see why there are all anything guilds but that's just me. Of course I guess after playing in many public servers in CSS I guess I can see why.

I wonder if I can get HA unlocked... Worth a try for an event like this

i participate because it's a cool way to meet other girl gamers.
just to socialize and not have to worry about some guys becoming to aggressive while in battle (no offense, and some chicks do, but *usually*, not always, but *usually* it's the guy that gets a little to adrenaline rushed. not that it's super bad or anything, really, and like i said it happens to girls too *is a good example* but it's a less so case for girls. it's cos we don't have testosterone xD)
i don't see this as a way to prove we're better or to stand out. it's probably just cos of the naming, but i think it's cute and it's been used for general things like this before.
i just think of the whole "power hour" deal as to get together and be girls :P

Hey there,
now this sounds really fun and I'd love to participate, the only problem is that I'm not so sure if I have the time to on that particular Sunday. I've never really PvPed (apart from excessive Alliance Battling almost every day :P) and this seems like a nice start; the part about meeting friendly fellow female players is of course great, too.
So if I have some spare time I'd love to take part; if not - are you planning to repeat the "event" if it goes well?
Cheerio

I think, I (as a woman myself) would instantly quit the game if there was talk about shopping, food and shoes everywhere. Not my domain. xD
I'm really fine with playing with guys, no problem at all for me, I just like the idea of this event. Meeting some fellow girls might be fun.

So yes, it means we will keep doing it.

When the time approaches -where we face defeat, I shall use my voice changer program to sound like Satan from Southpark, with a deEp deMonic voice "Good game Ladies...gooood Game...mwuahahahahah) ::

Anyways GL to the females who participate, everyone (both males and females) needs some time away from the other gender, because up until the 1950s or so, that's how it worked so we are kind of genetically predisposed to needing a break.

Congratz on the 'international women day'.
Why does there have to be a 'Girl Power Hour' and an 'International Women Day'? We men don't care about a 'Boy Power Hour' and 'International Men Day'. Just remember, if you want to be equal to men (and don't think I disagree), you will be taking the trash out as often as we do.

but ta is booooooring.

Sorry I missed the event was hoping to go but of course I was not feeling well and with the time change I did not log onto the game. Well I guess there will be a next time .

Robin_Anadri
The event went very well. We had three teams, less than we expected but the time change really messed it up (time change made it earlier than people were expecting, and the time DIDN'T change in Europe, which messed up the European folks who were planning to come.)
Multiple fames were earned by all teams. I don't believe any made it all the way to HoH, but I could be wrong about that. A lot of fun was had by all.
Keep in mind, those suggesting "getting our feet wet" in TA - there are plenty of girls who prefer PvP to PvE and are in Halls and GvG pwning your asses every day. One of our officers is only a few fames away from getting her tiger, and other members have at least their wolves. Tigers, wolves & deer were all flashed as we organized. So remember, that sexy BoA sin who just flashed in and gutted you in Halls might very well have an actual girl pulling her strings.
