If you want to play as a woman now in game you have to prove your a women via web cam. This is something that people ask for in many mmorpgs I myself have seen people say people who play women in EVE online as being some kind of degenerate but how long can a policy of verification by web cam last since its so easy to get around it doesn't seem to solve much and is an insult to many. there is a good blog about it here"

What makes this tourment great though is that you can watch it live for free and enjoy the great studios and commentators. You can also watch past matches from tournament. You don't even have to be an eve player to enjoy watching this great competition. if you have a few hours to kill you'll find watching these battles very fun. Tournament rules are here and current group standings are here."
