I think male players should play male characters and female players should play female characters. There's simply too many stupid circumstances that can come out of it otherwise. In MMORPGs, your online character is role-played by yourself. If you want to be a girl character when you're really a guy, I see that as wanting to role play as a girl in real life. I don't care if you have issues with that in real life, but don't bring them into the game world. When I see a character in an MMORPG, I don't just think of the character, I think of who's playing it. Have it mixed is just weird as hell.
