"Officials at the companies that make the three most popular games -
Ultima Online, from Origin Systems; Asheron's Call; and EverQuest,
from Sony - said they did not design the games with women in mind and
have been surprised at the response."

Untrue! :P UO was most definitely designed with women in mind, by my
wife, who was a designer on the team (one of the original three). In
fact, we were disappointed to get as FEW as we did.
